@Dolenz_PSN
Not sure it’s a great marketing to repeat the same cover athlete from the word Show ever released to be fair…That's 8 years ago. Nobody even thinks about 2018 anymore.
Wasn’t Joe Maurer on back to back covers? At least Judge has 8 years between.
Or Old Threads for Michael King
Also missing David Price $217 million to the Red Sox or Max Scherzer $210 million to the Nationals.
How can you have a series like this and not include bobby bonilla to the Mets?

@Jeff7407_PSN Add Captain to Roster...Activate Captain...Filter by "Players Boosted by Captain"
This only works after you have the captain.
In future years it would be a nice QoL upgrade to add which year a specific card is from. I know the age is there but without research I don’t know that seavers age 26 season was 1971. Some cards like awards and milestone already have the year. Let’s add it to the details screen for the other ones if missions are going to require knowing that information.
@dbrooks1869_XBL said in What Needs to Improve for MLB The Show 26 Diamond Dynasty:
I agree with the fewer maxed out cards. I'd like to see caps placed on the different cards so the 99s are only for players who earned them with sustained greatest. Short-term success should not put a card on the same level of the all-time greats. I think cards based on single-game accomplishments (short of historical achievements like a perfect game, 4-homers in a game, etc.) should max out at 95, and cards for medium-term successes (weekly and monthly) should max out at 97. The 99s should be dedicated historic seasons and the greatest players.
This is a terrible idea. This was the 2018 game with the immortals.
The problem is every team is then exactly the same, there is no variety amongst any of the player base. The meta will always exist but if there are 100-150 “meta” cards it provides variety. If there are 15 meta cards then everyone has the exact same team.
2021 had an offseason movers program
Wishful thinking they will do something similar this year but they need a bunch more transactions snd free agent signings first.
Common denominator = World Series teams get more flashbacks. Blue Jays 2025, Rangers and Diamondbacks 2023. Explains the volatility for those teams you highlight.
@Dolenz_PSN do you have a similar list with just legends. Bet there are a select few teams that completely dominate that list.
In addition to bringing back these old series I’d love to see a new series of “What Could Have Been”. Players who became stars after leaving their much lessor known teams. Like David Ortiz on the Twins. Or Tatis Jr on the White Sox.

@virusts_XBL
I pulled shibe park in a pack a couple days ago and it was a qs. Didnt look deeper into it tho
Pretty sure SDS doesn’t show “sell now” prices for the stadiums. I’d venture you left a bunch of stubs on the table by taking that quick sell 1,000
@sbchamps17_NSW Roster updates. Betting that when the mini season came out those players were below 82.
SDS is not going back and resettting the rosters on old mini seasons.
@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in My All-Time Team Lineups in MLB The Show 25:
SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE LIAM AND LOUIS A GOOD CARD!
Or a Chris Bassitt relief pitcher card. Anything to improve that bullpen. Your rendition is only bolstered by the fact you are using one tine blue jays like Chavez or Hendricks otherwise it is really bad with only Hoffman and live series options (I think Hoffman may be the best three options!!)
If an at bat is worth 10 PXP.
Rookie affords a x1.0 multiplier so 10 PXP
Veteran is a 1.1x multiplier so 11 PXP
All star is 1.2x Pretty sure Hall of fame is 1.3x and legend is 1.4x.
So that same at bat on hall of fame is worth 13. More PXP on higher difficulties.
@MadDogTannen777_XBL said in Best way to earn pxp:
Do we get more pxp for higher difficulty???
Yes multipliers for anything above rookie.
@NWOStunna_PSN said in Extreme conquest-Missed goal 2. Do I have to repeat goal 1?:
I have everything done but goal 1. Finger-crossed. Not looking forward to those two games on legend.
You got this.
One thing I find that has helped me is playing those teams in a practice game. I go back and find an old conquest map and load into a legend game. This gives me a chance to face the pitcher I will face and see a bunch of pitches with the conquest sliders and conquest energy drain.
I know this isn’t for everyone but it has helped me get in the mindset to play these much more difficult games.
We also need the Darrrrryl chant from the bleachers.
It’s called playing the percentages
@Dolenz_PSN said in Suggestion for '26 - Salary Cap mode:
I think it is naïve to think that a meta would not emerge even in a salary cap mode.
Agree with this. It would just provide more ammunition for the streamers to create those tier lists and then everyone is using the same team. It may actually make it worse.
@SaveFarris_PSN now that was back when streams were fun!!!
