But when MLB The Show is only on PS5 and Xbox Series X

I believe the main culprit is when they started supporting the Switch.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in Gameplay Trailer - 2/3/2026 - YouTube link:

RED DIAMONDS ARE BACK!

Were those only in 2020? That was my first year of DD. You had to earn those by online play, right? I think there were a few available in the XP path.

It also says "an upgraded PXP system". Maybe they change P1 through P5 to Hearts, Clovers, Horseshoes, Rainbows and Diamonds... Sponsored by Lucky Charms. How great would that be?

I bought today with the 10% discount, so this is one of the few things I will spend less money on this year.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Improvements: crowds, announcers and the sights and sounds of The Show:

nor do I believe the PS5 has enough power to run the AI locally.

We'll all have server farms in our backyard soon enough.

I didn't realize that Carlos was not a natural-born switch hitter. He learned while in the minors.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in Last Program Drop - Now & Later Program:

Actually ... given the trailer drop today...

Looks like it's a Beltran card as part of Now and Later.

By the way, what's the maximum amount of vouchers you can have as of today? I have earned 14, but not sure if that's the "most".

@GodShammGod2_XBL said in Last Program Drop - Now & Later Program:

@jeromesaysword_PSN

Where did you see news of a new Beltran?

Earn your packs in the XP Path and Now & Later Program in ‘25 and get vouchers that will automatically be redeemed¹ into The Show Packs when logging into MLB The Show 26 with the same account you used in ‘25. The Now & Later Program goes live at 12 pm PST today and you can score up to 12 additional packs. Plus, get a Carlos Beltrán player item to use in MLB The Show 25 and a different Carlos Beltrán player item in ‘26.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in Gameplay Trailer - 2/3/2026:

I saw nothing in the video that spoke about directions of movement for the fielders.

It's at the 43 second mark.

Here it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wBQfm6RxLo

A lot of RTTS shown (colleges, etc.)

New Fielding attributes - Forward, Back, Right, Left. Looks like Durability is gone?

Shows Aaron Judge LS card as a 92. Not sure if that is "final".

Says "Ratings Overhaul". Not sure what that means.

"Bear Down Pitching"

WBC, new stadium - Tokyo Dome.

All 20 WBC Federations.

Pujols (in a Cardinals uniform @dolenz_mlbts ), Felix Hernandez shown. 3rd Legend is in a Baltimore Giants uniform (Negro League I'm guessing). Looks like Roy Campanella.

Gameplay/Graphics look the same to me. No surprise there.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in This Week's MLB The Show 26 - Preview Schedule:

I get my jollies building spreadsheets, which is no one's idea of a good time.

Objection your honor.

@Doppelganger39_PSN

Per their website - https://theshow.com/news/mlb-the-show-26-reveal-aaron-judge/

Pre-orders for the Standard Edition and *Digital Deluxe Editions open on February 3, 2026 at 12 pm EST/ 9 am PST on TheShow.com, platform stores, and participating retailers.

@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS said in Who's pre-ordering on 2/3?:

I’ll be preordering!

What did you decide to play in the meantime?

Just wanted to see how many of my BFF's are buying for early access. Once again, I will be. Also curious to see the gameplay trailer tomorrow, but I'm keeping my expectations in check.

I'm not sure if any of these guys have ever been in the game (@savefarris_mlbts ), but here are some "2nd-tier legends" that I'd love to see:

Bill Madlock
Bill Buckner
Greg Luzinski
Bob Horner
Darrell Evans
Graig Nettles
Dwight Evans
Rocky Colavito
Gary Gaetti
Lee May
Ellis Burks
George Foster
Ron Santo
Jack Clark (1987 Finest, @dolenz_mlbts ???)
Boog Powell
Bobby Bonds (that would be a great troll job. Show "Bonds" on the back of a SF uniform, then slowly reveal his number...)
Mo Vaughn
Ron Cey
Fred Lynn
Reggie Smith
Brian Downing
George Scott

Good to see some of the old gang still around. I need to figure out a workaround so I can play online this year. I have TMobile and can’t play online games.

Just take your Xbox and a monitor to Starbucks.

@Ericulous1_XBL said in How well do you know your 2025 DD card sources? Quiz time...:

I’ve been off this forum too long.

All us cool kids are hanging out here talking about spreadsheets. Join us!

Good to see you're still lurking around though...

@SaveFarris_PSN said in How well do you know your 2025 DD card sources? Quiz time...:

Spotlight - 72 in packs, 54 via program, 19 Collects = 145

I still show 146. Do you have Sammy Sosa from the "Twenty in June" Program?

@SaveFarris_PSN said in How well do you know your 2025 DD card sources? Quiz time...:

Miniseasons - 29

I should have been more clear here. I did say "think Mini Seasons", but I said "earnable by Missions".

You're right about the 29 in Mini Seasons. The API also counts the "Negro League" players as "Missions" (9 of them). That's where I got 38.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in How well do you know your 2025 DD card sources? Quiz time...:

Collections - I've only got 142. Are you counting some Team Affinities?

Yes. The API shows the "vouchers" for All-Star and Finest from TA as "collections". So that's 60... plus your 142 is the 202 I have.

My 50 Diamond Quest:

Wow... I don't know where I got 28 from. I see 50 when I re-filtered.
