Agreed. Tons of lagging recently. What is going on?

Never play anything lower than All-Star and practice a level or two higher than where you want to be in the batting cages. Legend is a [censored] but GOAT is unrealistic and Hall of Fame tends to be a sweet spot in TS26. Legend can be conquered. Have faith and get to work.

I really hope SDS and all other creators of MLB The Show can come together and make things right. I'm not just talking about throwing content at us. I'm talking about addressing patches and updates that pin point on community outrage. I know you guys got this...Show the world why 2K is always on top.

I could not even read this entire tread without needing to take multiple breaks and even now, I'll have to go back a few more times to finish up reading all comments. I just want to say...I'm glad to be a part of this community and I'm sorry to everyone that has reached their limits about being frustrated with MLB The Show. We all deserve to speak on the game. I enjoy it quite a bit and will continue to for as long as I enjoy baseball. The negatives that many speak of are unfortunate and for me...since I am a franchise guy...I see passed many of them based on the universe(s) I've created. The positives of me having so much control with what I do during franchise mode or diamond dynasty excite me every day I wake up. Call it pathetic or not but I'm 41, a massive sports fan and sports gaming fan. MLB The Show is still a powerful gaming title that can be even better with some of these negatives, voiced by the community, being addressed now vs. later.

Sounds like bad luck. Just get better at the game.

At least they have the next list for the next couple of patches scheduled on this year's game. They are bound to address these issues.

MLB radio is an amazing idea. It also makes sense since they publicize podcasts and shows in the game in the stadiums with promotional material.

I think most of the items on every list are doable. Its really a matter of SDS getting back to basics. What they've done to this point has been great. It could be even better with just a little bit of cleanup. It can be done! Lets go SDS. I believe in you. Get to it!!!

I don't have any issues opening packs in MLB The Show 26 for the PS5. The lagging load times are terrible. The game even freezes and needs to restart at times. Thats terrible. The odds of hitting anything in a regular pack are also terrible. My luck is atrocious.

Random question...why don't catchers throw the signs to their pitchers? You can see it when playing storylines. What gives?

Is there anything about the game you do like? Something that still excites you? I still get jazzed up when I feel like I'm on a nice little streak hitting the ball. Rarely happens because I need to practice more but I digress. I'm a franchise guy but I've now gotten into DD pretty intently. Online play is no joke challenging. Wired remotes are a must...loading times are still slow as heck!

Great post. Very curious to know what the formal response is from SDS and MLB the Show 26 developers.
