Arrieta killed me on my first attempt. I need to try again today.

They can’t even fix the game randomly freezing in the lineups menu (since day 1)…

I highly doubt they’re competent enough to fix the gameplay lol

lol I played it yesterday for the first time in a few days and then it locked up when I finally went to change the lineup. It's a guarantee that it happens every time that you play.

I haven't played this conquest but this morning, I went to play and I had the issue where I didn't have enough hitters in my lineup and it wouldn't let me play anything on Diamond Dynasty, so I turned it off and played CFB 26.

I like MLB the Show. I will continue trying to finish all the collections/innings, etc, but it's ridiculous that you still cannot play it whenever you want because of stupid issues like that when we are like 2 weeks from the end of the regular season

I cross my fingers that SDS could add the Alou family next year (Matty, Felipe, Jesus and Moises). It would be AWESOME!

Moises was my first "favorite" player. The first time I watched baseball was 97 WS. Of course, he and everyone else was traded months later lol

I think I'm going to ride it out and finish the season playing the show. I had never touched Diamond Dynasty prior to this and feel compelled to complete the collections (without paying). I might take a break next season. We'll see.

You can definitely squeeze in a 99 Longoria card. I lived in Tampa when he hit the HR to sneak them into the playoffs. That was as clutch as it gets and he was a stud at times

Parker Messick! Go Noles!

Thank you for beating Alabama.

Your other half can GEAUX TO ... well, you know

Haha, I went to FSU undergrad, so they are and always will be my first team. FWIW, the two Tigers, we had in my masters program were great and the only other people who were rooting for LSU against the Gators when we watched that game lol.

Parker Messick! Go Noles!

It happened twice to me this morning. After it happened the first time, I restarted xbox. Jumped right back into the lineup and it happened again. Absolutely ridiculous.

I kinda see Larry Walker on the right, but that's a guess. It looks so familiar, I can't place it for sure.

That Jakob Marsee card is going to be fun. If he keeps hitting, the Marlins may have actually found something.

^ I feel like they could've made cards for Jeff Conine and Luis Castillo (2B for the Marlins in the 90/00s, not the current pitcher) for being inducted into the Marlins HOF.

It would've been cool to put Jeff and Griffin in the same lineup. Jeff could've been a card with a rating in the 80s. Castillo had zero pop, so there's a limit to how good they could've made him.

Well this morning I lost my grandmother and this afternoon I finished live series, so it's been day

sorry for your loss.

Stowers has been amazing. I remember talking [censored] about him starting opening day because he had such a terrible spring after playing poorly last year.

It's such an incredible turnaround and he deserves all the accolades

I'm personally for both a floor and a salary cap since I think it would help parity.

A salary floor means Braxton Garrett and Anthony Bender are making $8 million a year while the cost of hot dogs and parking triple. And the team is still going nowhere.

Is that "parity" what's best for baseball?

Or would it be better for MLB to force Sherman to sell to an owner willing to invest in the team?

I think you would have to start with the floor to see how the teams react. If you decide to overpay a Bender or Garrett rather than bring in a solid MLB player, then you would probably have to force an ownership change. This year the only FA was the 5mil they gave to Quantrill. That's not an attempt to win. It's just filling the roster.

FWIW, Marlins fans have this discussion all the time about attendance. The current park location is horrible and the 6:30 starts don't help. By having the park in the middle of Miami, you make it impossible for fans in Palm Beach/Broward counties to attend games.

The Panthers are in less populated Sunrise, so Miami-Dade people can still get there, Palm Beach residents can attend and anyone in broward can make it, but driving into Marlins Park is a pain in the [censored] even during the weekend.

People in Miami would attend Marlins games if the product was worth watching and they started to believe that ownership wasn't going to tear it down the following week. We just never get any indication that ownership cares. I'm personally for both a floor and a salary cap since I think it would help parity.

@LHUBison58_XBL said in Bryce Harper:

A greatly expanded revenue sharing system, a floor and a ceiling is fair. The players will still get paid, but the elite 3% won’t get as much.

Expanded Revenue sharing won't work (at least the way MLB currently defines it) because they base it on revenue, not market size. A team like St. Louis is punished for being a small market with enormous revenue while a team like Washington is rewarded for being a large market with smaller revenues.

The problem isn't people like Harper and Ohtani getting mega-contracts Their respective teams have already earned their investment back and then some. It's teams like Miami, Oakland, and Tampa getting outdrawn by a college baseball team 5 years running.

I was 8 when the Marlins won in 1997. Many Marlins fans have never seen a team be good for more than just a brief period. The team screwed the fans over from day 1. It's hard to support a franchise that doesn't give a [censored] about the fans or the product on the field. We are likely trading Sandy Alcantara away this week. Add him to Miguel Cabrera, Christian Yelich, Derrick Lee, Josh Becketts of the world. I don't know why the Rays don't get more support, but I can explain the Marlins. It's just hard to invest in a team when the ownership won't do the same and this is coming from someone who watches just about every game. Driving an hour into Little Havana to watch Eric Wagaman stike out 5 times a game is not something that I'm willing to do when I know that any other team would've acquired a better option at 1b when the team is just 6 games out of the wild card and they have gotten nothing out of a position that should be producing much more offensively.

The freezing lineup is the most ridiculous thing to be dealing with on a video game in 2025. I have to go into a different video game and then back into Show until it gets fixed. Happens every day that I play.

It's incredible that they don't fix it, because sometimes, I just say F it, I don't want to deal with this and turn it off. I'm sure I'm not the only one and I'm guessing some people turn it off and never go back to play the game again. It's easily my biggest complaint about the game.
