I got one! It is the first time it works from me! Thanks for sharing the code, Mario!! Much appreciated!

@yankblan_PSN I am not a really good player that bought a Switch this winter, had never heard of The Show, and bought the game in April on an impulse after seeing a publicity on TV!

A lot of Jolt cards are tough for me. I never thought I would get to 5 hits with Muncy, Sexson, Edmonds, Schwarber and Grich. They all seems to hit with a rubber bat... when they can touch the ball. I had to grind a lot.

I also have a hard time with McCovey. Another one with 100 Power than use a rubber bat.

I also have a hard time to hit with the new Eric Davis.

Every 20th anniversary batters are also a pain. Mainly Gunnar Henderson.

But if I had to choose the worst, it would be Max Muncy Jolt. His bat seems to be too short for everything on the outside side of the plate. Not just outside of the plate, just on the outside.

@sbchamps17_NSW I did not know there was a new collection reward coming on Friday.

I red about it, but I did not understand the concept. Now I think I do.

Thanks for the advice and the help!

Hi guys,

I am new to the game and the franchise. I have been playing for about six weeks now and I understand the concept more and more with each passing day.

For the first time, last night, I really studied what needs to be done to unlock Scott Rolen 99. And I have doubts that I will ever be able to do so.

Let me explain.

I have no desire to play online. I consider myself a casual player. I play with timing swing, at veteran level, against bad teams (Rockies, White Sox, A's, Marlins). I like to keep it simple.

I play about ten or twelve hours every week.

My big fun is to accomplish goals on different programs and timeline to collect rewards. I then use rewards to make collections or make my squad better.

I then use my best squad to play mini-season and Diamond Quest. I have not master the art of Conquest yet, wich might come later.

Wich bring me to my original question: playing like this, can you seriously think that I will one day get all the cards needed to unlock Rolen 99?

I ask because I pulled some nice cards, mainly form the Spotlight, Moon Shot and Pipeline Past collection, that I could sell for a lot of stubs. But I might also need them to unlock Rolen.

If, with your knowledge of the game and the way I play, you tell me than there is no way I wll unlock Rolen (because to do so, I would need cards that can only be obtain in parts of the game I don't play), I will sell the cards I don't need. But if you think there is a chance than I can unlock Rolen, I will collect them and hope for the best.

Please note that I don't feel the urge to unlock Rolen. I don't particularly like the player. If I want this card, it's only to get a big goal for playing the game (and that my progress will be easy to track).

Thanks for your help on that matter. Always appreciated!!

I finally unlock Carroll this week-end. Can't wait to try him.

As for Harper, I have a lot of grinding to do before unlocking him!

@DrPoopShooter_XBL I was seriousely considering buying a 50K Pipeline pack. I even tried on the app last evening in a moment of weakness, but the purchase did not get through.

I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your experience. I now know that it will be a mistake to make that purchase.

I wanted to buy a pack to advance faster in the program, but I now realize that grinding is as good. And won't cost me 50 000 stubs. In fact, I will make money while grinding.

Thanks again!

That might explains it. The show was waaaayyyy to late for me in Atlantic Canada lol

I tried there on my PC and my phone:
https://codes.theshow.com/home

I am getting an "Invalid Code" message.

I am getting "Invalid Code" response...

Carroll seems to be the obvious choice.

I looked how to unlock him. I miss two Spotlight cards to do so, with one (April 4), being almost impossible for me to get (the moments ask to hit like 4 or 5 HR, when I hit HR at the rythm of one every 18 or 27 innings. I know, I am bad).

I might have to buy Spotlight cards to get the XP points needed to finish the April 4 program, and then shortcut the problem.

I will study all that in the next days.

Thanks for your input, guys. Alway appreciated!!!

@PAinPA_PSN I have Rod Carew on 1st base. But he is hitting nine.

Hi guys,

I have been playing the game for the last month or so. I am building a pretty good team... except for my right fielder.

I have played with Rap Dixon and Kyle Stower, with variant results.

Right now, I use Tony Gwynn.

I am curious to see who you guys play in the right field.

Keep in mind that I am not swiming into stubs, being new to the game (I have about 130 000 avalaible).

I am also looking for someone who's fast and better at contact than power (I am very bad at hitting home runs so, I prefer a player who can go on bases, steal second and score from there on a single).

I look in the market, but could not find someone who would be perfect for me. The candidates are either not fast enough or too bad on defense.

Maybe someone from the Color Storm program than can't be bought but I could grind for?

Any suggestions?

@GoozeFn_PSN Thanks for the link! But I can tell you that the 3rd baseman was standing as his usual spot and he did not have to dive to catch the ball!

Yesterday, playing The Show 2025, something I never saw happened.

With runners at frist and second bases, I command a double steal because I want to bunt with the hitter (Gordon, from KC).

To my biggest surprise, Gordon BUNT a LINE DRIVE to the third baseman, who tagged one of my runner, than throw to first for the triple play. A triple play on a bunt?

I admit, it was my mistake to start my runners early. But in all of my baseball playing life, I have never see a BUNT turning into a LINE DRIVE to the third baseman.

For most of the last 12 hours, I tried to understand the physic behind it. I still can't.

How on earth can a hitter NOT swinging the bat, can push the ball, in the air, 90 feet further?

It works! Life is good again!

Thanks @pat_sds

Hi guys,

I will try to use the right vocabulary since I am kind of new to the game and the franchise (been less than a month).

I finished the 3rd inning path yesterday. I am quite proud. In the process, I got two bosses: Eric Gagne and Trevor Storey. I don't have Bernie Williams yet.

I have a question for you: should I sell or should I collect these three players?

From what I understand (again, new guy here), If I collect Gagne, Storey and Williams, I will receive 30 000 XPX in the 4th Inning Path. If I sell, I will receive about 30 000 stubs for Gagne and Storey.

So, in your opinion, wich is better: buy Williams to get 30 000 XPX or sell Gagne and Storey to receive 30 000 stubs?

I have to precise that I don't really care about any of the three players. I used Gagne and Storey in various games. Both have been good and bad. I also have superior players on my "Best" squad. So, if I keep Gagne and Storey, it will only be to get the voucher, not to play them.

Also, I have to precise that I have the worst luck in packs. I pulled a Judge LS a couple of weeks ago, but I am paying for it since then. All I pull is ultimate garbage that can't even help me in my LS collections.

Also 30 000 XPX won't help me much on the 4th Inning Path because I know that I will end up finishing it. 30 000 XPX will just help me finish it earlier. For what it's worth.

I kind of like to hear what you would do if you were in my shoes.

I wish I was as fast as you, guys!

Right now, I unlock the Braves and the Marlins color storm. Next up: Orioles and Padres. Why these teams? I am not sure lol

Maybe it take me longer because I am still grinding in other programs. Once in a while, I put my Braves/Marlins squad against the Rockies or the As at veteran and I finally got the cards.

Got almost 50 packs to open yesterday night (20% being not basic packs). Pulled one diamond (an 85). Pulled several gold, but I almost already had them all (even though I only collect ten teams).

About packs, what I can say, is that I am the king of the world to pull free agents, Rockies, White Sox and duplicates or cards I already have in my collection.

I find it a bit sad because, like I said, I only collect 10 of the 30 teams. And of these 10 teams, I only have about 25 of the 40 cards. It looks to me that with 50 packs to open, I should add a lot to my collection. In the end, I think I end up adding about 10 cards (in 50 packs!!).

At least I enjoy the process. I even finish the 3rd inning path yesterday. It is a big accomplishement for me!

Still does not work on my iPhone.
