How do you stop guys that constantly use hit and run cheese??

Any new leagues starting tomorrow?

@cilwitc3_xbl said in Custom Leagues - Shohei Ohtani:

It does not show ohtani as a sub. What's odd is does let you playing CPU so I thought we could. Traded for him. But You can only get him to the plate when he's pitching it seems. It's total [censored] because he hasn't established much as a pitcher IRL. Sure has as hitter though. Very disapointing, at least let us choose how we want to use him

If Ohtani is pitching and you sub the DH, the pitcher will be forced to bat in the spot you sub with

@radinskyftg_psn said in GAMEBREAKING GLITCH IN CUSTOM LEAGUES MUST BE FIXED ASAP:

so what are other leagues doing with regards to sliders etc to make it actually play on HOF? can anyone share their sliders or setup?

All we did in our league is turn the contact and power down 1 and the fastball speed all the way up. It doesn't fix the PCI but it makes it playable to where you don't have 10 Homer's in 1 game.

I’m assuming you’ve previously played on HOF, how is getting adjusted to AllStar?

We have been messing with this constantly in our league and may have found something. If you hit the pause button and go to gameplay settings you will see that both hitting and pitching difficulties are on ROOKIE......But this setting is NOT locked. You can from here change it to whatever difficulty you want to play on, apply your changes and from our testing it does stick to gameplay.....Couple of problems....NOTHING preventing your opponent from changing their difficulty to something less than yours.....And with the fact that we cannot see our opponents PCI post pitch, there is really no way to tell what difficulty they are on unless we as a league make streaming mandatory for both teams which will show them on stream changing it to the correct difficulty level.

You can only change the settings when playing the cpu

You can check to see the difficulty level if you start a game vs the CPU, pause and look at the gameplay settings. If your league’s difficulty is set at legend, it defaults to Allstar and hof is veteran. If there was a level above legend, we’d be good to go haha but right now we’re screwed

Difficulty on custom league seem like they are in veteran or maybe rookie. No matter if the sliders is adjusted, no matter if the league is remade, the mode it self feels like it has a pre-set difficulty rating. Was hoping today’s patch would help but sadly it didn’t. Do hope we have a minor patch in the late evening to fix this issue. Would be great honestly.

And custom leagues, doesn’t feel anything customizable in the league unless MAYBE u choose the DD route. But even so it doesn’t compare to what we had in mlb the show 17. Now you don’t need to bring it all back, nor need to add any crazy features like off line franchise, but the ability to raise and grow your players, from drafting to even trading, miss that aspect of playing online franchise. I do hope next yr game we would see some kind of improvement and not be the forgotten child from home alone.

Thanks y’all have a blessed one.

There will not be a minor patch to fix this...smh. They truly do not care about the mode.

You’re just saying that based on how you feel but it’s a visible glitch. If you play the cpu in custom league, you can see the difficulty is two levels lower than what is preset by the commissioner. So legend is all star and hof is veteran. That can be fixed because it’s an obvious error.

They do not care if it's a visible glitch. I know exactly what the "glitch" is and it has been reported already by many members of the custom league community. The lack of response that they are even looking into it is louder than anything we could type. Can you imagine if this was Ranked Seasons in DD? What if when we started on Spring Training is was set at legend difficulty......That issue would be fixed PRONTO!!

I understand your why you’re complaining. My point is it’ll be fixed. The game hasn’t been out for 2 weeks and I remember last year we went at least one week with custom leagues being unplayable. Hold tight

I agree and have been holding tight. Last year, as I'm sure you'll remember, they communicated with us right here on their forum that they KNEW of the issue and WERE GOING to fix it. Not so this year. But I digress, and agree with you that it sure seems as if it is something that can be fixed.

Yes, I agree on the communication part also. They could at least mention they know there’s an issue. And because they haven’t, it seems like they’re not going to fix it. I’m there with you on that. Only reason I keep faith, is they haven’t just not fixed an issue and left it as is or I think they would have announced HoF isn’t in custom leagues anymore. And I wouldn’t have bought it, of course

@delv213420_psn said in Can there be an game update for Player Portraits since half of the big FA signings are missing?:

2nd Update: They added a lot! Guys like Matt Chapman, Marcus Semien, Joey Gallo and Enrique Hernandez got their player portraits added. Thanks for the work SDS. I'm sure you guys got some person/people working on this to finish the rest like Carlos Correa MIN, Trevor Story BOS, Anthony Rizzo NYY, Jorge Soler MIA, A.J. Pollock CHW, Nick Castellanos PHI and Kyle Shwarber PHI. ect.

I’m glad you noticed the updates! I appreciate your dedication to making a list of players that still have generated mugshots, however the 400+ updated images were everything that we have access to this year.

Awesome! Do you know when the Custom Leagues batting/pitching difficulties will be fixed? When you set it to Hall of fame, it defaults to the Veteran level.

I love that everybody thinks that they are just laying back with their feet up ignoring all of it.

I don't think that they communicate with their players nearly enough but I do believe that all these issues are being worked on. The troubleshooting and patching is probably much, much harder now that there are 3 consoles to coordinate everything on.

So if you buy a 2023 car and get it home only to find out that it will only run every other day, the advertised AC doesn’t work and your power windows were a new feature to this model so you gotta wait for a patch for them to function, will you excuse the manufacturer because it took a lot of time to develop the new model?

I get what you’re trying to say but your analogy didn’t quite correlate. Comparing a car you probably need to survive, is completely different from a video game that needs patching every year since at least MLB the Show 08. There’s nothing we can do but wait for a patch. Cursing them isn’t going to make them move faster.

It’s paid for goods or services. Wether or not the goods or services are a necessity or luxury have no bearing on the responsibility of the provider.

I agree that there is nothing we can do. Patching games is an awesome but a much abused thing with game developers as a whole. It gives them incentive to push out whatever they have, broken or not with the caveat of fixing it later. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t.

I only play custom leagues and I used to play online franchise but this year the custom league’s hitting/pitching difficulty is defaulted on Veteran or All Star. And I play Hall of Fame, so trust me we’re in the same boat when it comes to waiting on SDS for certain fixes. I disagree with your analogy though bro

We need a patch.

@kiillak11_mlbts said in Custom League Difficulty (Everything on Rookie?):

You can change the difficulty in game. You shouldn’t be able to do this but you can. And you have to do it every game. Every game it resets to Rookie. This goes for hitting and pitching difficulty.

How do you change it in game?

In the next update, will the hitting/pitching difficulty be fixed in Custom Leagues? If you select Hall of Fame or Legend difficulty, it plays on Veteran.

@wes_nile_85_psn said in add me to play on the game:

You play on legend? Add me Wes_version_X

They’re isn’t legend difficulty in custom leagues, it’s only veteran

Balks on or off?
