Sounds like many people run into this and the only cure is restarting the season

Congrats man. Pujols is great, and you’re lucky that the other live series other than Judge are cheap now.

One good thing about locking in Ohtani is getting Campanella - he is great. So you’d get a lot of good cards if you lock him in

The only real thing you have to weigh is how many cards that you really want to play with could you buy with what you sell Ohtani for. Pujols is a major commitment

Weigh quantity over quality depending on your team or player preference

Also do note you’re going to lose 10% let’s say 75k if you sold for 750 so you’d only net 675k.

Plan that 675k to buy other stuff you may want, and decide if it’s worth it.

If your hope is to ever finish LS definitely lock him in.

Congrats

They don’t they never will

@CoachPappy17_PSN

SDS is tone deaf, yes. Their like 1 guy who works there is skimming [Redacted]

Not that I’ve ever done that myself but I hear the menus are fast

@Dolenz_PSN

Well first off, in your case: you need to start playing. You don’t play much if at all

Anyone else just feel a tremendous sigh of relief after finishing the event with an [censored] theme team, or any team? That 5th win can be ever elusive.

Holy [censored] it’s nice to settle down back into ranked and get shelled

@Mandrykm_MLBTS

I may have missed something but I think he was quoting another dude.

Dolenz is community manager he can’t leave. Sony San would fold

Twins are whining for a Chuck Knoblauch to go with the rest of their 2nd basemen and we get another Yankee? Give the people what they want. A Yankee Knoblauch.

Mets could also use a Mackey Sasser.

And us Cardinals definitely want an Ankiel.

Cmon SDS. All yips theme team, just need a captain

6-7 years

2026 trying to figure out what these designers and staff are doing

@Dolenz_PSN it took you longer to post this complaint online that it would have to complete the mission. I think I played like 1 game with Jackie and Tulo and it was completed.

That is beside the point. I finished it without issue since my Cardinal team already had Gibson and Musial

But I still think it is kinda dumb to put out a mission that requires people to remember or look up info outside of the game to find out which players qualify for the mission. Immortals was all the way back in 2018

Same as they do missions with “Asian players” or people over 5’10 you’re trying to say they should make it an obvious easy filter to be able to find said players

To them, you’re a complainer, to everyone else you’re creating said filter and will give it away for free with a more optimized version that the app doesn’t yet know

The last thing that Dolenz is is a complainer

It’d still have to be the same team’s cards. For example, if you captain modded a Padre, it would only boost Padres on your team. It would work just like the current team captains, just you get to pick the captain. I wouldn’t even mind if they capped the overall of the captain you can pick or if you captain mod someone, they don’t get the boost, but the other cards of that team get the boost

Yes. Explore it with teams first, then get into specialized switch hitter easy s tuff.

They could make this game so much better if they took like a few Doughnuts and coffee in a bored room. Get it, bored board room and make meaningful changes

For the most part outside of Weekend Classic, in Ranked, I use a Cardinals captain boost team. So this means if I want to continue that, I won’t be able to use the new Matt Carpenter card, as I don’t expect to get new team captains any time soon.

I had an idea of how they can evolve the captain system: Captain Mods. You could pick anyone on your team to equip the captain mod, and if you equip it, they can’t be taken out of the lineup. You could also have it work like the current mod system to where you have to earn different tier boosts. For example, if you want contact to be boosted, you’d have to get so many hits with your team’s players.

I’m not sure if people would like this idea or not. I’m just throwing out a suggestion as someone who is kinda bummed that I’m going to have to choose between my team’s boost or using a new card of one of my favorite players.

A pretty cool idea. Make it team affinity by means of however many innings or whatever by a certain team boosts your captain/manager and you can dole out the rewards similar to this parallel system. Call them managers instead of captains

I guess I’m piggybacking on your idea but instead of a “team captain” you have a manager

Would be a cool grind for people to play more and more innings to achieve the squad bonii

What SDS has lost is that a lot of players love their team and try to recreate teams yet they keep giving them no players to play with

Now take your idea and actually SDS releasing a player per team per week and we’d have lineup diversity

Now we’re making a soup

Stop releasing 3 cards on one team and 0 on others

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL Complaints that ruined captains were from the online crowd too. I don’t see why we have to paint every conversation online vs offline though.

Captains was a cool idea they did away with, online and offline

It was good for all

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN said:

@JenkinMeyer_PSN I think they think paywalling some captains more than others would be a worse look for them than completely throwing them to the curb (and they’re probably right)

How could anything be a worse look than anything they’ve done this year to MLB the Show? It’s like they’re throwing darts at an ideas dartboard and replacing the drywall behind the dartboard because they miss every throw

He too tall. Go bat 0.170 with Jordan Walker

@Dolenz_PSN said:

So I managed to finish the program and get Carpenter. He honestly is not better than my P5 Jolt version which also boosts the rest of my theme team.

Which is what is so disappointing. Should’ve given that final card in a program to another team

*or have made these players captains

Why are they ditching captains

@Precisionist99_XBL

Ahh. Didn’t make sense until now

@JenkinMeyer_PSN wait did you mean to reply to him or to the guy he was responding to (having a bit of cognitive dissonance, apologies)

Responding to not you, the other guy

Never apologize to me I just log in here drunk and instigate

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS said:

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS not at all pissed but if you aren’t gonna adjust you will get left behind. This was clearly the easiest path they have had. I mean it shouldn’t be a participation trophy to get a boss. It should be somewhat of grind, which off the comments seems like most are getting the boss or were right there.

It’s quite literally always been the participation trophy of DD. Nothing about earning a boss has ever been difficult. You play, you earn. Your take that everybody needs to play every mode and complete every mission and program just to earn a boss is absurd. That’s how you earned him first and got the most stubs. Not the requirement for getting him on the last weekend of the program when he’s nearly irrelevant due to “other programs” and collections coming out multiple times.

Nobody is getting left behind. They adjusted it because it needed fixed.

You sound like you work for them and you’re angry. Most of what you said sounds like corporate shill BS
