I knew this day would come... lol

This happens with almost everything... something gets done one way and people "hate on it", then when something new gets done the old way was "better".

Me personally I loved "Sets & Seasons" because it allowed for you to continue playing with different cards... in the years prior to this it felt like people were almost afraid to go get certain cards once they got the lineup they wanted and those players would complain that there was nothing else worth "grinding" (or "paying") for, at least with Sets & Seasons after a set amount of time you had to build your team again... but let's not pretend like you were forced back to your team looking like the "no money spent" team you start with filled with common and bronzes along with your one silver (or gold) card from your loyalty reward before you start your grind to unlock other cards.

Me personally I'd like an innings model with the ability to still do previous inning programs similar to how it's been the last few years.

The only thing right now that I would change is how the "Reward Path" works... I like what WWE 2K is about to do with their similar feature where you can still do a previous "Reward Path" even after a new "Reward Path" enters the game but you can only have one reward path active at a time.

So if I don't complete "1st Inning Reward Path", I would have the option to continue that "reward path" and then I can move on to "2nd Inning Reward Path" once that's done, or I could move on to the "2nd Inning Reward Path" and then go back to the "1st Inning Reward Path" once I complete it.

@Christuffer_NSW they aren't able to license every song... they have the songs they have for a given year

a stand alone mode where you could import your RTTS player and use them would better serve those requesting RTTS/created players in DD... Diamond Dynasty is for card collecting and putting a team together with those cards... what you looking for is something along the lines of Madden's superstar mode and NBA 2K's Park/City mode where you can play against other created players... Diamond Dynasty doesn't really fit that... but if MLB The Show can create a "Sandlot" mode that's probably more fitting of the type of style of game you want to play as far as modes.

@Christuffer_NSW the problem with music is licensing... also you should be able to change the music in either the menus or if you are playing RTTS you can change the music in that specific RTTS menu "motions, sounds" I want to say is what its called.

@BeeKazz-26_PSN yeah I personally wouldn't recommend purchasing any of the previous games either... now if you can somehow get your hands on a previous game then go for it just from a curiosity standpoint but doesn't seem worth the time to go back especially with how limited those games are now... enjoy 25 for the next 3-4 weeks ad then shift your attention to 26 if you are going to get it at launch.

far as I know in MLB The Show 25, the only thing you HAD TO DO was play in HS... Senior Day, Playoff Game (if you weren't solely a starting pitcher, if your were an SP your team automatically went to Championship Game) & Championship Game (if your team advanced)... from there if you selected to skip combine you would go straight to the draft and then from there you could chose to go to college or start your pro career in the minors.

From what I saw on the feature for Road To The Show, I'm thinking you could still do the same thing, and you can even opt to skip the draft and go straight to college... I imagine the same thing applies this year with skipping and/or playing combine after HS and going to draft and then selecting to start pro career instead of going to college... and then in college this year you start as a junior and if you opt to go to college and play through the CWS you will have option to stay in college as a senior or go to draft and turn pro... I hope you get an opportunity to play the Combine after your college season ends but from what I've seen you will be able to turn pro and start in the minors almost immediately... the only required games will be the High School games... not sure how many there will be this year since they said they expanded that part of the game a little but last year you played 2-3 games in HS and then from there like I said skip combine, get drafted, opt to turn pro instead of going to college and you will be playing Double A minor league games in no time flat.

It's typically 48 hours before release, unless that changed since the last time I preordered which I want to say was MLB The Show 24 or 23.

@sbchamps17_NSW

incorrect, it is for anyone that has ever order any digital edition of the game (including standard) since MLB The Show 21 (MLB The Show 22 for Nintendo Switch)... far as I remember I got the standard edition on this account for 25 (unless the Digital was on sale at the time I purchased this years game sometime in July if I recall correctly), I previously got Digital Deluxe on a previous PSN for majority of the other years but the 10% discount showed up on this account.

I could be wrong and ended up getting 25 Digital Deluxe on sale back in July but I'm pretty sure I got the standard edition.

I say yes it's worth it... especially if you qualify for the 10% off to get it for $90 ($89.99) instead of $100 ($99.99)

@SaveFarris_PSN

I'm talking about when Beltran was still an active player, hence earlier versions of the game... that Beltran KC card was a MUST HAVE

@gseAPEX_XBL

I was talking about creating the uniforms... unless I misunderstood the topic at hand, I was thinking someone was asking for 4 uniforms in DD, meaning for example create Home, Away, Alternate Home, Alternate Away and then from there you can select your jersey at the start of the game? DD would need more uniform slots besides Home and Away and since it's defined as home and away it doesn't let you pick but yeah definitely would be a cool feature if they are able to implement it... these are things that we need to push for now that way once work begins on MLB The Show 27 it can be included if enough people are pushing for it... I've gone away from creating my uniform as of late and typically just equip a uniform I've collected depending on my mood for the day but I would love to venture back into creating my jersey... I still haven't created my own stadium and I want to but just haven't found the time to do it these last two games (24 & 25)

@SaveFarris_PSN

I remember this card as a Flashback was one of the MUST HAVE cards in the earlier versions of the game! I'm hoping this means that we start off with a Mets Beltran in 26

@Teak2112_MLBTS

the ragdoll physics are supposed to be improved this year to make slamming people on steel steps, and I'm guessing steel chairs and such more viable... also added the ability to stack table on top of another table... these are yearly games that I play so it really doesn't take much for me to preorder... not to mention I didn't get games at launch this year so I'm just now getting back into my gaming groove... for the first time in a few years I actually requested off for launch... I'll have a full week to play WWE 2K with their early release being 7 days before their official release on the 13th which is also MLB's early release day before official release on 17th... so I'll be able to get WWE out of my system for most part before dedicating time to MLB and then from there go back and forth until NCAA/College Football releases

just preordered both MLB The Show 26 and WWE 2K26... it helps that Digital Deluxe for MLB The Show is $99.99 and got the 10% off that knocked it down to $89.99... every little bit helps... now I need to see if I'm going to get this Elgato or try to salvage the one I have

they announced a Carlos Beltran and you get a different Carlos Beltran in 26 if I understood correctly

@SaveFarris_PSN

yeah I saw that but I'll take that 10% over getting Double Daily rewards considering the amount of doubles that I get for both rewards and I've only had MLB The Show 25 since like July/August, I could only imagine the amount of duplicates I would have if I started at launch like I typically do with the exception of a couple of years including last year... I pretty much just played RTTS in 25 but I'm looking forward to locking back in for 26!

Preorders are now live! Also can save 10% but I don't know for how long Digital Deluxe is $89.99

@Dolenz_PSN

to my knowledge the Trailer drops at NOON Eastern, 9AM Pacific

and from previous history I'd imagine majority of what we get from SDS will be at either 9AM Pacific or NOON Pacific meaning for me NOON Eastern or 3PM Eastern

There is a high likelihood that I preorder today, just have to see what my funds are looking like... at latest I was gonna preorder when I get off work, March 12th... but the earlier I can lock in the game the better... my dilemma is that I'm trying to make sure I can get MLB The Show 26 and WWE 2K26, as WWE 2K Early Access is a full week before the game comes out... WWE 2K early access is 3/6 with game releasing 3/13, then MLB early release is 3/13 with game releasing 3/17... so that's like $300... trying to see if I'm preordering both in one swoop or if I need to stagger the preorders because I think the WWE preorder comes with more bonuses the earlier you preorder it.

I don't see why this can't be implemented... I think what it will boil down to is enough people looking for that kind of immersion to where highlights play in-game from previous games instead of just same game highlights... I think that would be a neat thing to have just being someone that likes to immerse myself into the video game world that I'm playing for sports games and even other non-sports games... like if I hit a walk-off against Edwin Diaz in the regular season, it would be cool to have that HR play before I face him again in the playoffs with the opportunity to hit another walk-off or he could get his revenge.
