I’m thrilled. Xbox user - haven’t had a legit baseball game in who knows how long... loving the show. Took me about 3 days to get the timing down on a fastball. Was always late. Now starting to time it up more.

sounds like he only gave up 0 runs...

The event isn’t worth it for 85-89’s. If they would’ve uncapped the rewards it would’ve been a lot better

I'm about 350k stubs away from getting him... pulling Mike Trout early on helped a ton.

Happened to me and I got credited with a loss because of it. Very frustrating

would be impossible to do 35 days in a month that has 31 days... so i imagine we’ll have multiple moments worth 2 points.

The hawk is the best in my opinion. And you have to get all your attributes to 50

So are you saying you have to play rtts, because I'm not going to do that. If so, this was very poorly thought out by SDS.

Yes. Have to play RTTS to boost the stats up to their max abilities. The Hawk is by far the best. My hawk archetype has 108 contact and 125 power on both sides with 99 vision and 81 speed and 92 fielding.

log into DD, play one PA with your CAP against the CPU, back out and then go back into RTTS and it should start counting. I’ve grinded 10 Diamond Archetypes over the last 3 days and everything has counted for me.

Xbox Series X user here. Played Madden Ultimate team in the past, so have some experience with game modes similar to Diamond Dynasty. Any users of both that can relate them? Looking forward to playing The Show and DD game mode. What's the first things to do upon release on Thursday night at midnight?

Just looking for any tips to get a head start. Will have about $100 to spend on the game as well. Is there an in game currency that's best to buy? or packs?

@lazy_toast_psn said in New to The Show:

I haven’t played MUT in 2 years. The Show saved my video game ultimate team addiction and you don’t have to spend money to compete like in Madden and 2k. Have fun man and always come here for help

I’m loving seeing this over and over on this post. Glad to know that MLB The Show is viewed as much better than MUT. MUT finally killed me towards the Christmas last year. It just started getting worse and worse. Looking forward to The Show after seeing all these replies to this post.

For the missions for 4th inning program there’s a mission that says “Tally 10 home runs with any All-Star Series or Future Star Series players in online modes.”

Does this mean All-Star series as in the 96-99’s that were released last week? Or all-star cards that have been released throughout the entire year?

The event isn’t worth it for 85-89’s. If they would’ve uncapped the rewards it would’ve been a lot better

So if i’m winning, I usually wait it out. Go run errands, grab lunch/dinner, or just go to bed and leave the xbox on overnight.

This is my first year playing The Show and I’m not the greatest player (I believe I'm around 79-62 overall in RS with a 792 rating). But if i’m winning a game that’ll push me to the next division, i’ll wait it out.

faced Corbin Burnes earlier who has 88 stamina... he threw 110 pitches and still had half of his energy bar filled and it was green. Would’ve thought that running his pitch count up would’ve depleted his energy but nope.

@untchable704_psn said in Online matchmaking regional?:

Yes it is. I am in SC and at least half of my games are against gamecocks and unc fans.

Same here. I rock UNC jerseys (originally from NC - just moved to the Upstate last summer). Lot of my games are against UNC, SC, or Clemson. Had a few games against Duke fans. But then I also get some high schools from the Upstate area as well. So that triggered my thought about region matchmaking as well.

Is online matchmaking region based? I guess there’s no way to truly know without chatting with the person you are playing about where they live... but it seems like based on custom uniforms, I get matched with a lot of guys in cities near mine. I see a lot of custom jerseys in RS and events that are of local high schools near me. Just something I was curious about.

@whiskeyone_psn said in What’s everyone’s thought on pinpoint pitching?:

Is there a tutorial for pinpoint? Normally I don't need one but it's so weird.

In the game? Not really. But several content creators have made one. The most effective tutorial I’ve seen has been from MovieGaming on YouTube.

Are they soft grounders that beat the shift?

I’m a new player this year. Started out on analog and switched to pinpoint and holy cow it’s amazing.

Hey guys!

I know that the daily moment updates every day at 12 PM EST. However, my game says that it updates at 5:00 PM every day. My console is set to EST and everything like that. It’s not a huge deal, other than the fact that I’m OCD and it bothers me that it’s not showing the correct time.

Any idea how to fix this?
