@theBlindRhino_PSN I don’t think it’s an option to turn off cross play in MLB 26

Edit: my bad, didn’t see it until now

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I think they might be cheating, you’re right

100%.

Last year was good. Don’t know why they F’d it up.

@goozefn_psn You are. The universal profile has ERA wrong.

Your ERA in RS is 3.38, but your universal profile shows 1.13.

@GoozeFn_PSN lol, think you’re looking at the wrong thing. ERA in RS is 3.20 this season.

Honestly, I thought it was worse than that. Maybe it just feels broken

I’m a decent player online, and it’s definitely much worse than last year. If I remember correctly, last year started the same way I think…

But pitching is completely useless right now. It’s just not a good balance right now.

We used to be rewarded for good pitching, but no longer. Pitches on the black are easier to hit than pitches down the middle now.

Look at the batting averages of World Series players. The top 300 have batting averages over .500

Yeah, game is much much worse than last year

I hit a walk off HR with Kyle Tucker in a mini showdown and it didn’t count, so…

I truly believe SDS strives to make the most realistic baseball experience possible. I think they have stated this numerous times.

However, balls and strikes calls (in MLB The Show) aren’t the same as in Major League Baseball.

If we’ve seen anything with the ABS system, a strike is when a pitch barely touches the strikezone.

In MLB The Show, sometimes a pitch is called a ball when the baseball is almost completely WITHIN the strike zone.

For me, this is a major gap in the gameplay.

@JenkinMeyer_PSN haha, exactly

especially on cutters/sliders from opposite hand hitters.

It’s just not realistic for batters to automatically bail out on an inside cutter/slider, especially when it looks like a strike 10 feet from the plate.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve actually tried to swing at these pitches and had this animation bail me out haha

So… what happens if you own 20 of the same card and then pull that card again in a pack?

Was just thinking the same thing today. I’m guessing it’s been at least 50 BIAG packs with zero diamonds so far

How are the packs doing for everyone else?

Got bored and looked back through my pack history…. 129 packs (Regular, Now & Later, BIAH), and ZERO Diamonds.

Someone’s gotta be pulling them though

With the addition of ambush hitting, nobody can directionally bunt any more

I can’t find my RTTS catcher to put into my DD lineup. He is still in Double A, do I have to wait until he gets called up to the Majors?

Yea, just noticed that my XP is stuck at 920,541 and not increasing at all

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but I thought Captain Pedro boosted pitchers who pitched in the 90’s, and Valenzuela pitched in the 90’s. Any idea why he isn’t getting the boost?

Awesome, thanks
