I better check my game haha, cause I had it turned off and still matched up against Xbox user

Yeah, tried from within DD and from main menu. It’s locked everywhere.

@Pergo_MLBTS wish I could post a screenshot, because for me it’s locked

@Pergo_MLBTS Have you tried this today?

Wasn’t in the patch notes either

Nope, it’s locked now.

I had it turned off (I’m a PS5 user and got tired of the cheating X-Box players), and I just got matched up against a cheating X-Box player in RS.

Nice. The one thing PS5 users could do to somewhat alleviate the cheating of X-Box users was to turn off Cross Play.

So what does SDS do? They turn off that option.

So, instead of it just being X-Box players who have to deal with the cheating, SDS decided “nah, let’s make everyone suffer”.

@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
