@Dolenz_PSN I had the same thought. P5'ing cards is why I play at this point. After all this time with double, I was going to have a hard time motivating myself to play getting regular PXP. Good call by SDS.

@RegWombat_MLBTS It's really the only thing that keeps me playing. I like having something to work toward and P5'ing players is always there as a task. I'm at like 250 for the year and plan to get to 400 or so before all is said and done. I would love at the very least a filter where you can select the various P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 levels to see which cards at at which point. An album of P5s would be a fantastic addition to the game.

@NotesOfJohn_MLBTS Honestly. I am surprised any 1st year players are still playing after they took an axe to CPU pitchers actually throwing strikes for some reason. If they don't do a big time correction on that, I as a long time player will probably skip future iterations of the game. They have destroyed the fun of offline play to such an extent people should be fired over it.

I'm at 20% in 7 days with PXP alone. If it takes me 10 weeks, it takes me 10 weeks. The double PXP is very helpful.

@TripleH-4481_PSN You absolutely keep gaining PXP on cards after 8,000. My Billy Wagner HoF card has 27,123 PXP. The parallel upgrading just stops at 8K.

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN I decided just to keep playing the game the same way and eventually I will finish the program with pxp. I'm at 15% already. Probably going to take 6 weeks to get through it.

@TheGoaler_PSN I just did the 7 obviously easiest moments in each league to get to 21 then played like four conquest games. Dare I say they make these Post Season programs extremely quick and easy.

If you want triples. Play some mini seasons or Vs CPU 9 inning games at Polo Grounds. Don't take home on the many inside the park homeruns into the gaps.

I still need like 18 walks to get Touch Grass and I've probably taken more walks this year than any previous. I'm a swinger to my own detriment ha

@SaveFarris_PSN I gotta ask...What is the 4th TA? I am counting Jolt, Color Storm and Neon...Wouldn't the next one be 4 assuming we have one. I don't count the all star vouchers because there were no missions to get them and they didn't give any TA bonus XP for using them. What am I missing?

@DrBear100_PSN Absolutely not. I just got my final team to 611K tonight and now I am just going to play with lineups I want to play with for P5'ing players. If I happen to bump into one of the foam fingers so be it but I highly doubt I will.

@dbrooks1869_XBL That is because in Mini Seasons they aren't live series teams but teams with ratings closer to our own. It plays more difficult because the spread in team rating is not nearly as big.

@DrBear100_PSN It has been all year though. 55-60% ball rate and a high pct of the strikes nipping corners no matter what difficulty you are playing on. Doesn't seem to matter who the pitcher is either. Similar to CPU fielding, player ratings seem to be thrown out the window for CPU teams.

@evanchance_PSN The CPU pitching has been the same all year. I haven't noticed the CPU hitting or scoring more.

@Teak2112_MLBTS good point. Should have had all 8 teams for sure

Who was the genius who made the 4th team Cleveland instead of Detroit?

@Ericulous1_XBL I needed a pitch that bounced that the catcher had to block...no throw.

@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
