I didn't get my WC Choice pack for my 6th win (6-0). Sent in a support ticket immediately, but still nothing. Im sure by the time they get to it those items will be so cheap and outdated it won't even matter.

With Team Captain players getting new items now (plus 88s being very outdated), the whole system needs a major rework. Has been an issue since they introduced them, but something needs to be done. Whether it's adopting a system like Madden where the number of items add up automatically and assign boosts, allowing the hitting captain to be on the bench, adding more Captains, or just actually upgrade TA. I feel like so many items would be utilized more and more variety in teams if they actually put some effort in.
What would you like to see?

@virusts_PSN Probably a decent jump in defense for Yordan, which is nice.
First Spotlight/TN for the Astros with CWalk as well (also had no WBC cards, so first card relevant to 2026 in general for them lol)

They didn't want to give Yordan a Spotlight or Lightning for his absurd month since his LS was going to 90+ tomorrow, but will drop a 93 Witt a few days later after a flurry of Shortstops.

Rough year to be an Astros fan lol. I love that its Elly, but Yordan not getting anything after that month is criminal.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS Diamond Dynasty. Anything in there too. Mini Season, Conquest, Moments.
I believe I got it all fixed though (and some other underlying issues I was seeing)
I performed a "Clear System Software Cache" on my PS5 and now the game is running smoother than ever.

I know there's been issues in the past with Frame rate, but today Im seeing it everywhere within The Show, not just in games with certain players (Manny, Elly, Tatis, long hair, ect..).
Ive had complete PS5 freezes where I had to unplug and in game Ive had to inch along in any game mode.
Tested some other games in case it was a PS5 issue, but everything else is just fine.
Anybody else see a drastic change overnight or in the past that had a solution?

It's definitely off right now, especially on cross-play (had to turn it off). I believe timing itself is fine, but registering the wrong input. I'll constantly get "Perfect" timing, then the pitchers arm visually glitches and the ball hits the batter or dirt and the post pitch indicator states "Very Late", like no input was recorded at all.

Usually you just have to navigate to the bottom of the awards, then hold it down. Has always worked for me if it gets stuck there at the top!

100% vouch for this. I turned mine off last year and instantly became so much better, especially on layoff off tough pitches below the zone. Everyones different, but just not having some large target flying around the screen made it easier to focus for me. Worth a try for anyone that can't seem to get over the hump.

Hard truth: Nothing is actually behind a paywall. If you look at Madden, most packs can ONLY be purchased with Points (real money), everything in The Show marketplace is stubs, which can be earned through the game..

BUT, that's where they're getting us. Capping XP, limited content, nothing of substance within the small programs we've been given. This is a copy/paste game from last year. Everyone knows that. They had plenty of time to give us more and actually think of creative ways to make the game competitive, fun, and, while understandably still a business, make money.

You can absolutely make a nice team and be competitive with what they give you, but its taking the fun out of it.

What baffles me is the constant effort the community is giving to communicate these issues and SDS not even recognizing it or making any sort of effort to right the ship. All they did was give an explanation of the XP Cap and basically admit they don't know how to make a season based, reward based gaming structure work.

@YOSHI24 Why should I pay $100 for a game that tells me how much Im allowed to play to earn rewards.. in a reward based game mode? I could care less if someone genuinely wanted to spend all their time grinding to get whatever they want. Good for them, but if I have a day or two during the week to play I shouldn't be told I can't progress. This is a lazy solution to whatever problems they're trying to fix. Fix the reward system and progression path, don't cap a paying customer on what they can do when were literally told "Play the game the earn XP!" to progress. Lazy and no creativity.

The Daily XP Cap hit is truly awful. I understand their reasoning behind it, but if someone wants to spend their valuable time playing, then they should be rewarded. Some people only get a day or 2 where they can actually sit down and play. The casual players can't get the most out of their time and the die hards are going to be pushed away. So many rewards are locked behind XP creep. It's literally advertised as "Play any mode in MLB THE Show! Each game you play earns XP which progresses this program and unlocks new rewards." which is obviously false. Huge swing and a miss by SDS.

Had the error Friday 26 games into TA Mini Seasons. Completed a regular Mini Seasons. Now getting the error 10 games in on a new Lefty Mini Seasons.
The defect is definitely not fixed. 36 games and countless hours down the drain.
