@Teak2112_MLBTS stub making has always been through card selling. This ain't new

I'm feels like they they tweaked the odds to wheel spin rewards...

First 6 innings
Silver - 47
Gold - 20
Diamond - 4

7th inning
Silver - 4
Gold - 7
Diamond - 3

My next pull was another Diamond so I have as many diamonds in inning 7 as I had inning 1 to 6 combined now.

@chrisham8380_PSN I actually feel.like the entire game this year has been a big F U to the player base...things such as cpu throwing balls 65% of the time will likely make MLB 26 a no buy for a lot of long time players.

And the way they don't address issues...for example the manage squad screen freezing. They do not care. If people keep buying/playing their game, they will never care.

It seems every year one of their big updates is how to attempt to steal a homerun. It's like, maybe work on something important like how the cpu fields like 99s at every position no matter who is in the field or what level you are playing on.

And don't even get me started on how horrible all stats screens are. With no custom filters or anything.

The gameplay has been stale for a long time but between 24 and 25, they made the choice to make offline play less fun. Solid business model.

@Ericulous1_XBL 14% of all 4 HR games by a player in the history of MLB have happened in 2025

@DOCxMAVERICK_PSN They are not going to add any more cards to the TA quest lines for teams. They haven't all year and they aren't likely to start now.

@PapaRicanTX_XBL A "Show Cards With Duplicates" only filter would be a Godsend.

The other thing I would like them to add in offline DD is the ability to choose the stadium whether you are home or away. The fact is, every single conquest game I actually play is a road game so I never get to use a lot of the stadiums. Just the home stadiums of the MLB teams.

Another cool thing they could implement for Conquest would be an option to play the conquest vs the live mlb team (like we do now) or that team's best team possible with all cards currently available for that team.

Absolutely. I hate moments in general (busy work) but they did make them a little less annoying.

@whiplash0013_PSN I've been getting double pxp since tuesday

@Teak2112_MLBTS I actually really liked how TA was set up this year til they just handed us half the TA points to get to the Finest card. But I get that for most players, the original TA grind set up was just waaaaayyyy too much.

@creeder21_MLBTS I think the cpu strike rate is the single worst change they made...at all levels the cpu is throwing less than 50% in the strike zone...I get it, so do mlb pitchers but this is a video game...it's supposed to be fun offline especially at lower difficulties...if this was the first year I ever played this game, I probably wouldn't have made it to mid April.

And I don't want to hear "it's a sim"...if it was a sim the cpu wouldn't have ungodly reaction times and nake a diving outfield catch at least once every three inning game.

You can tell they know how bad they botched this year's game by how they are just giving away stubs since the draft...they tried to get too cute too fast and it's backfired in a lot of different ways.

The last.4 years I didn't take a significant break from this game until at least November and I already took several weeks away in mid June into mid july.

They made one fantastic addition to the game. Double PxP.

@Blaiseblaise_MLBTS Just hammer that Draft conquest. It's the best way to make stubs and I'm shocked they haven't shut it down yet.

@SaveFarris_PSN The Kurtz thing can be thrown aside. They didn't know he was going to tie the MLB record for Total Bases in a game so soon after his 98 card.

@Sarge1387_PSN How often are you playing home games in Conquest? Every game I play is on the road where I don't get the pick stadium at all. I really wish they would allow stadium select vs CPU whether you are playing at home or on the road. Really dumb that they don't.

@GixxerRyder750_PSN I found the Ibanez initial card to be all right. Oliva took me a bit longer to get done with. Neither took more than ten 3 inning games though.

@dbub_PSN The fact you think these collections are meant to be done day 1 is on you, not SDS. Sure, some people will have them done day 1 but they are more something to work toward. I need four more collections to complete and that will happen in the next three or four weeks.

@samguenther1987_PSN That repeatable conquest is clutch. You pretty much guarantee yourself at least 20K for 70 minutes of play. For my play preferences, it is the best stub farm I've had all season.

I took several weeks off recently due to some burnout. The last thing I had completed before this past Friday was the First June Drop. So I had a lot of content to play and it felt really easy to get through thanks in part to the double pxp. Was able to minimize "moments" I needed play which was nice. And I had the luckiest pulls of all time grabbing a Judge and Ohtani out of ballin packs on friday and saturday. Now, I've got everything done except the WS collection (which I'll complete when I play the mini season) and Sammy Sosa Homerun moments. And I was left with like 4x more stubs than I started out with last Thursday night. All of a sudden I'm in the best shape I've been in all season right after taking weeks off. Wild stuff.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I still like playing but the grind they set up at the beginning of the season disappeared for me with the 150K for each team's path when we did the Color Storm. I generally play MLB The Show late into the calendar year or early into the next Calendar year. I don't see that changing, but I'm definitely giving myself time for other games at this point already.

@dap1234567890_PSN That is absolutely NOT what they said. They specifically said the last 4 cards would be Live series.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Yes. Correct. You are still going get Unlockables in that slot a vast majority of the time.
