Hey I’m new to MLB The Show, I’ve played it here and there but MLBTS21 was my first time playing it on a consistent basis. This year however I’m grinding and putting the work in. I want to learn some of the MLBTS lingo tho because I see veteran players talking about things like P5,T4,T5

I just want to get caught up and also know what they’re talking about. Any info would help and anything you feel I should know please lmk! Who knows maybe we get a game

P5 is parallel 5, FS is future stars, SS or sig is signature series, LS is live series. “F*ck SDS” usually means someone lost. Not sure what else I have I missed but that’s some of the lingo I use at least.

Ohhhh I got you so they’re like abbreviations for the series the card is from ?

Was a little confused on what parallel meant because I didn’t see it in the series section of the market place. But I just learned that it actually boast your cards attributes based on the amount of XP you earn for that player.

Hey I’m posting this here for the new players that might have started playing the show consistently last year or even this year. Now I’m no MLBTS legend or even one of the veterans of this gaming Franchise but I would like to say I’m better than the average player and can hang with some of the better players in the game. This forum is me sharing some tips that’s I’ve received from a separate forum, and also me sharing some things that have worked for me so far. Vets feel free to move on from this post or (if you feel like it) correct my wrongs and suggest better ideas.

Ok here we go.

First off you need to learn patience! It’s a huge part of the game. This game is a chess match, one wrong move and you can risk losing the game. A series of wrong moves you might as-well close the app.

You do not have to spend your $$$ to get a good team. If you play the game casually you can have a good squad if you play consistently you can have a great squad.

You can upgrade players on your squad by completing the parallel XP requirements. (Go to player, hit player card, go to parallels) that will increase your players attributes.

The community is here to help you! don’t be afraid to ask questions and create forums. I have never seen a community look out for each other the way the MLBTS community does.

Be careful in the market place! Do your research! The last thing you want to do if over pay for a card, or undersell one of yours. If people suggest to wait to buy WAIT TO BUY( and vice versa ). I know it looks like a great card now but there may be something better in a week or two.

Some people prefer certain stats over others. I will share with you mine.

I make sure that every player on my squad has a vision of at least 85.

Two hitting categories at 100 or above. A minimum fielding of 90 and reaction of 90 (unless they play Cather or first base )

A minimum speed of 70 (unless they are first base)

My pitchers a K/9 and H/9 of at least 100 or higher. And a velocity of 95 or higher.

I like to keep 2 power hitters (one LH & one RH) and 3 speedy players on the bench. Make sure the 3 speedy players can play every infield position and the other the outfield position. I do this just to be safe you never know who you might have to punch run.

This was very long but I hope you can appreciate what I’m trying to do. And I hope whoever reads this finds it helpful and supportive. I want to thank all the players that have helped me over the past few days with questions You guys are goats!! And I hope we can get a game in !

Playing a conquest game in the top of the third inning, winning 6-0. And the game disconnected me.

“You have been disconnected from The Show Online.” It tells me.

And that’s what it’s told me three times in the last 12 hours. My WiFi and internet speed are fine—I checked.

So what the hell, SDS? Is this happening to anyone else?

If it has happened to you, please upvote so we can get a tally.

It’s more about the consistency of your connection. I had 3 disconnect this afternoon (I rarely ever have them). I rebooted my router, reset my modem and everything has been just fine since

Does it ever come back though? Like say another day later in the week do you have to reset your router again? Asking because I’ve had a stretch where servers are fine. And I’ve had a stretch where I have to reset play then maybe reset again in a week or so. Keep in mind I’m wired in I’m not on wireless connection.

This thread is from over a year ago and is in regards to the Show 21 not this years game.

YOW! I'm going to have to start paying attention to the start date of threads before I venture into them.

Crazy though that a year later and the server issues still remain

A little over casual player here and from reading all your comments it’s giving me motivation to get it done. Almost done with the Kraken conquest so moments will come next. Then some showdown. Wish me luck hope to be one of the few to get the cards earlier rather than later.

@dbub_PSN said in Pedro:

The only thing Pedro doesn't have is a deceptive motion, which of course he'll never get.

But I'm thrilled they gave him the dominant card he deserves.

In my mind, he's the clear 2nd best SP right now (behind Randy of course).

What about Ryan? I’m not disagrees I’m trying to get an idea of who the best pitchers are. I personally love using Smoltz and Greinke

Honestly I have the Jackie Robinson card at 2nd and Ron Santo at 3rd. Both great hitter and fielders I don’t think I need Cano and Donaldson that badly.

You do not have to spend real money to have a good team in this game, Learn how to flip cards or just save your stubs to buy the card you like, Avoid from buying show packs, The game gives you enough

Oh yeah I agree. I will say last year to catch up I did spend some $$$ to complete the LS collections but this year I’ve been grinding and I’d say I have a pretty solid team. All 99s and all are going for high amount of stubs on the market. Not saying that makes them good because ofc everyone knows it’s who’s controlling the sticks.

This post brings up the most important abbreviation of all- NMS = No Money Spent. These people are like vegans or folks who do cross fit in that they will tell/show you because it is vital to their existence that everyone knows!!!

Get a life, just letting the new player know you can get a good team without spending, Those who want to spend, spend away. there was no need for your comment.

Nah I know what you’re saying and I appreciate the a dive because it’s true you don’t need to spend any money in the game to get a great team. You can if you really feel like it’ll make your team better, but if you just grind it out and play well you should be solid
