All of the above.

And, maybe it is geeky of me, but have players that retire in franchise mode be able to become coaches and managers.

And rain outs to schedule double headers.

Boog Schiambi is a capable play by play man and I like him.....when he's not reading a script.

Chris Singleton is a stiff.

I know that we give SDS a ton of [censored]. Rightfully so. But, they did do something that made me chuckle.

After a game where I stranded a lot of runners, the public address announcer said that I "left an incredible amount of runners on base."

So, I thought I'd throw SDS a bone. Well played.

No. It's always the same thing every single year. Instead of paying attention to actual tweaks that would make sense, they would rather do stupid stuff like add Godzilla monsters.

As far as I'm concerned, you should be able to port players into your franchise every time the live roster comes out. I don't want to keep starting a franchise over just because they dribble out adding players that should have been there to begin with.

Not to mention, on the ps4 version, everytime you log out of the game, it deletes your jukebox and music cues. You have to keep adding it again.

Just curious if there are any legendary players you would like to see SDS to add to the game.

I would like them to add Gil Hodges, Dizzy Dean, Thurmon Munson, Roger Maris, Darryl Strawberry, Ted Simmons, David Wright, Maury Wills, and Dave Winfield, to name a few.

Another problem is that when they add a player with a roster update and take a player away. So, a player that was in the default roster for some reason will get removed. But, one thing they'll never do is remove The development team players they created. I don't know about you, but I didn't ask for Chris Clements or Ramone Russell or Lorne Asuncion.

@Jimmy502nd_MLBTS I don't have the patience or the skill to do stadiums. But, I always admire the work the the truly gifted stadium creators put into it & make sure to use them. For your sake, and for those of us who appreciate your talents, I hope it gets addressed. And soon.

Since the latest game update, game keeps crashing! Whenever I try to start a game it crashes!
Anyone else having this issue?

@sullivanspring_MLBTS the 3B coach is distracted by the jacket that they make him wear. Despite the multiple calls to fix it. @SDS_JoeK_PSN why hasn't it been fixed yet?

@TheGoaler_PSN RIP Ozzy. He & Sabbath are at the top of my list for all time favorite bands. A few years ago, my daughter bought me tickets for Father's Day to see Sabbath here in Albuquerque. Front row center. Since she knew how much I love them. One of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. She even caught one of Tony Iommi's picks that he threw out to the crowd. The only thing that was missing was Bill Ward behind the drums. Even though the drummer they had was pretty d-a-m-n good.

As far as songs besides the usual that everyone knows, A National Acrobat on the Sabbath (B)loody Sabbath album and Into the Void on Paranoid and Supernaut on Vol IV are my favorite Sabbath songs. Fun fact, Jeff Beck said the riff on Supernaut is his favorite of all time. It was also a favorite song of Frank Zappa and John Bonham. And his duet with Lita Ford on Close My Eyes Forever is amazing. With added benefit of seeing Lita Ford being the smoke show that she is in the video.

The world will miss you, Ozzie. You were one of a kind. Let me see your hands! I love you all!

How are you connecting your PS5 to your monitor and does your monitor have speakers?

Check your PS5 settings for audio output to make sure your set output is what is connected. As a test you can set your controller as the output to see if sound is present

ps5 is set up to tv through hdmi. All other games are getting sound without a problem. I have checked the sound settings on the game, and can't see where the issue is. However, when I plug in headphones to the controller, I can get sound.

If you’re getting sound from MLBTS through your controller, then the game is putting out sound. It’s either a setting in your PS5 or TV.

Since you’re getting sound from other games on your TV, then I would look more carefully at the settings in the PS5.

I don’t know of a sound setting in the game to choose where your sound output is sent, but when I get on my console later this morning, I will scrounge around the settings to see.

Edit: Yeah, I didn't find any output settings in the game itself. There are several sound settings in the console, though. Maybe play with those to see if you can get the sound to work. Your TV may also have specific sound settings that can be adjusted. Maybe, and I'm not sure about this, but maybe your TV is set in a manner where it cannot output the sound from the game. I don't see how that is possible, but in cases like this, you must try everything possible to eliminate one piece at a time.

Got it fixed. It was a problem with the HDMI cord. Which is weird that it only affected the ps5 version of MLBTS. Not every other game I have on it.

But, I do really appreciate your help. Thank you!

@RadioRosco22_NSW funny thing is that their last roster update of the year will include this year's stats.

@TheGoaler_PSN Sabotage and Technical Ecstacy may be their 2 most under appreciated albums. With Symptom of the Universe & Megalomania on Sabotage. And, Dirty Women & She's Gone on Technical Ecstasy.

Man, this is awesome talking about Ozzy & Sabbath. Thanks for posting about him. Spent the whole day yesterday listening to the entire catalog.

They actually fixed something that they were asked to fix. The latest update added Strawberry's & Gooden's 18 & 16 to Citifield. Not much. But, it's a small victory.

I've been asking for years to have rain outs and suspended games. And, the ability to schedule double headers. For a full simulation experience for those of us who play franchise exclusively.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN please pass along.

@bleachfro_MLBTS funny how they never do. They just leave it up to poor @SDS_JoeK_PSN to deal with us. Kind of like he's Jen Psaki or KJP.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN those of us who play Franchise almost exclusively are getting shafted. There are so many things that could be added to Franchise. Like...
1)relocation and realignment. Not just "rebranding" (which needs an overhaul, anyway).
2)Being able to have more than 5 players be injured at a time. And have injuries like TJ or torn ACL/MCL/PCL carry over into the next season.
3)Being able to trade a player for cash considerations or for PTBNL
4)An international draft.
5)NRIs for spring training.
6)opt outs and no trade clauses in contracts
7)retired players able to become managers and coaches. Would love to see, say, Aaron Judge be a manager one day. And give us the ability to create and edit our own.
8)the ability to have player numbers retired (and be able to add them to the stadium in team fonts)
9)an actual HoF ceremony. Or, at least, a plaque. Or, at the least, least, a mention of the players elected to the HoF listed in the teams achievements. (Which used to happen but was taken away for some reason this year.)
10)the ability to edit face scanned players on our own. Players looks change. If EA Sports will let you add facial hair to players in NHL, SDS can give us the ability to do it to.

Any more you guys can think of?

@SDS_JoeK_PSN hope you copy and paste that and pass it along to the team.

Stop ignoring the Franchise mode.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN I remember the old MVP Baseball used to have the ability to construct a new stadium that you could add to based on how much money you had. And be able to add sections once you had enough to add them.
