This stuff was more necessary than innovative to be honest. Still will probably touch RTTS maybe once if I'm that bored.
all this could have just been a $10 DLC on MLBTS 25 instead of $70.
the grpahics look like absolute garbage in the RTTS LIVE stream today. When they showed the Florida player gameplay, looks straight out of PS3 era graphics. embarassing.

The video linked to is devastating to SDS.
You own this SDS. I warned you about how customer anger was stoking and it seemed you didn't really care.
it was ridiculous during that gameplay deep dive they said they listen to the users. LOL. If you saw the chat live, everyone was pissed the graphics have not been upgraded and now even has worsened 6 years into the PS5 cycle. And you're right about the anger, it's almost EVERYONE! It would have been nice if they acknowedged it in some way. But they didnt even do that. It's like the elephant in the room. They must think we are all dumb.

If they upgraded the graphics i would definitely be amazed, but it would not be a game changer for me. Im more interested in gameplay . For example i think the ball trajectory needs more top spin I've hit too many scorching line drives that get cought in the outfield. With more top spin pure hitters like tony Gwynn and wade boggs would be more valuable as they would get more hits . Searching players to fill rosters easier for programs . More cool props for stadium creator , more realistic pitching sequence, etc. Etc. All those and much more are more important than graphics . But i wouldn't mind if they improved.

All the gameplay improvement's they showed last week in the gameplay deep dive could have just been part of a MLBTS 25 DLC for $10.
There's nothing groundbreaking in what they showed that should make anyone spend another $70 for this rehashed game.
I actually tested the graphics and gameplay form the PS4 versions of the game I own.
MLB16/17 Do definately look better than 25. The gameplay is so much better too. The ball just jumps off the bat.
But the best looking MLB THE SHOW game from the PS4 era is no Doubt MLB THE SHOW 20. The graphics are so virbrant and colorful in this game. The lighting is top notch. The presentation is incredible. The gameply in 16/17 I think are better because the hitting in 20 is sort of dummed down since the ball sort of dies after leaving the bat where in 16/17 it just reacts like a real baseball.
MLBTS 25 doesn't even come close to the graphics of MLBTS 20.
MLB The Show 26 (And Other Sports Games) Have Not Realized It's a New Era
this may be the first time in 10 years I don't buy this game at launch or maybe not even at all.

Well, the ONLY thing SDS is actually good at is figuring out how long they can squeeze every last dollar out of that outdated graphics engine and once again this year, they decided to roll with the same engine, slap on a few minor tweaks, add some “new” programs (which are basically just a few extra lines of code) to keep the pack-ripping crowd—the gamblers—happy.
Honestly, they’ll probably keep enjoying their near-monopoly as the only MLB game on the market and unless a serious competitor shows up, this cycle isn’t going to change anytime soon.
That’s just how this game market works.I miss the good ole days when we had 5 MLB games to choose from.
5?? more like 12-16 baseball games would come out in one season on average
i don't like how they insulted everyone by saying today 'they listen to the players' or similar to that.
[censored]
if you listened to the players you would have at least acknowledged the complaints about the graphics.
even if they said 'yes we know you aren't happy w/ the graphics and we're working on it' wouldve been fine.
But it's like the elephant in the room. the completely ignored it when everyone in the community who has been loyal to this game for decades is talking about how the graphics look stale and old now.

And with the World Baseball Classic on the cover, I wonder if this means we’re finally actually getting the tournament rather than just uniforms and cards!!!
last time they had it only in DD and it was one of the most fun DD programs ever. But yes, it would be better if it's an offline mode.
not a clean cover too busy
so we get high school baseball this year? we only had college in last years game right?
javi back on the cover?
It says i am 2-0 now in 2025. did they reset the entire H2H W/L records and stats from this year?
I've noticed playing H2H online a lot more Nintendo players are playing. I never had a nintendo player come up until this past month.
The online games have been very smooth with Switch players. No issues at all.
How does the game play offline and online on Switch or Switch 2?
hope they do it. last time they missed the boat big time by not including it. they had it in DD and it was one of the most fun DD programs in the history of the series. But I do hope they learn from last time and add a separate offline WBC mode.
Usually by July I have enought stubs to do the regular collection. I have 1.3 mil stubs and still isn't enough to get Othani , judge, plus 4 or 5 other players who are like hundreds of thousands.
@creeder21_MLBTS said in What are the best stub making methods?:
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL use you God Squad for all the moments and then back out of diamond quest when you get to a stadium making sure to save progress. Change your lineup to your bunt/speed team, play the stadium, get the rewards.
i just tried doing this and it's zero fun. I'll just play the old fashioned way.
@LQR_NSW said in What are the best stub making methods?:
Here is the bunt/speed team:
C-Martin Dihigo
1B-Jackie Robinson
2B-Rap Dixson
SS-Ozzie Smith
3B-Elly De La Cruz-Takeover Card
LF-Tim Raines-Egg Hunt
CF-PCA-Egg Hunt
RF-Chandler Simpson
DH-Rickey Henderson
ill try this but don't have all the cards. so at catcher I have Biggio who's speed/steal are both 90/90. and RF lightning Corbin Carroll who's speed/steal both 99/99.
moved Chandler to LF.
also have Luis Aparicio Orioles who has 94/90 speed/steal and 99/99 bunt and drag bunt. maybe stick him in somewhere for the moments where you dont need to field?
@LQR_NSW said in What are the best stub making methods?:
It has worked for me perfectly even after the update even though they nerfed it. I have gone 13-0 by doing this in DQ.
so if you win all the games you're guranteed the special cards in the quest?
