@Dolenz_PSN said in Team Affinity Card reveals for Aug 29th:
I am not sure I would call it lazy. Poor planning maybe but I think that it probably takes more effort to not have both hitting and pitching captains for every team. Because now they have to keep track of who has what and maintain two different sets of boosts based on whether a team has both captains.
Ok fair enough, maybe lazy was a bit harsh, just frustrated is all.
@LukeTheDuke1515_MLBTS said in Team Affinity Card reveals for Aug 29th:
How could they screw up and still not give teams with only hitting captains another position player? It’s insanity
It's just downright lazy to be honest.
Did a couple.of the collection for the teams, White Sox, Rangers, Athletics, Royals. I'm all set with all 30 Finest vouchers now.
@lolSooner_PSN said in Double Agent Program:
@Dolenz_PSN how do i strike out 4 batters in one inning?
I put Manny Ramirez behind the plate and threw pitches at the ground or high strikes, eventually the CPU bit and Manny missed the ball, luckily I had 2 strikeouts at the time so that was the 3rd, because Cabrera was very wild for me and walked the next 2 batters to load the bases.
Struck out the next batter though.
@dewrock_PSN said in Double Agent Extreme Moment 2:
Yeah this moment is BS. I got Ohtani on. Stole second. Sac fly and got him to third. Sac fly and got him home. It didn’t count it for me. I guess they only count sac flies to home, which is stupid.
Closest i've come so far, got a runner to 3rd with none out, brought Beltran up trying to hit a sac fly, and boooom, home run to the second deck old Marlins stadium. Thats what I get for using Beltran.
Jim Edmonds is always great. I hit well with his cards.
@MarioMendoza935_XBL said in Your Shark Map wishes for 2025:
I'd like:
- At least 10 teams in the map.
- Some July Spotlight packs. I'm waiting for prices to come down, as I haven't collected Griffey yet.
- Throw a stadium or two in there. I refuse to pay 3-5k stubs per stadium out of principle (just noticed that the Metrodome is almost 10k on the sell now).
- A Signature pack. I was lucky to pull Bernie out of one, but would like the prices to come down so I can grab Posada.
A boy can dream...
What about you guys/gals?
As long as it's loaded with packs and choice packs I'm good. I have almost everyone now, just missing the chase cards.
So with that said I would love to see a few guaranted chase packs but I doubt that will happen.
@Teak2112_MLBTS said in Inked Miniseason appreciation:
Just wanted to give my appreciation for this miniseason, as its a big W
I was initially quite put off that the repeatable is for a deluxe non choice, and I still feel that its a bit ridiculous that its a non choice this late in the season. However there are so many good points to this particular miniseason:
-The one time rewards are good
-The repeatable awards are done with standard gameplay: no having to play home run derby. You will get these by playing the game naturally and dont have to compromise your playstyle to chase them
-The opponents are theme teams. Mini seasons are usually divisional, but having full theme teams (minus Mason Miller chilling on the As still) gives it a bit more of a unique feel. I hope they do this going forward, and mix in some of the lesser teams as well.
-Bonus points for Yankees being the Whales and Tokyo being the Giants. At least the former was certainly intentional
-While the specialty miniseasons are fun for one time through, this is one is meant to be repeatable content so having no restrictions is niceI really hope that 2026 leans into theme teams more for offline play. Its fun and would hopefully encourage SDS to keep them better updated. Even if its just adding, say, a 92 Gabriel Moreno as an offline reward that only DBacks theme teams owners would use
Having some kind of mode that rewards players for beating it with a theme team from each team would be a good way to give offline grinders something to do so we don't complain as much (no one ever stops complaining though, as every developer knows)
Yah and the Cats are just a beast of a team. Like you said though, love facing the other teams
@Dolenz_PSN said in Most Ridiculous Game...:
LOL - Just played 3 Conquest games and could barely hit on veteran today (I was doing okay yesterday). It was frustrating enough that I quit when I finished the conquest map after those three games.
In fact and I am not sure if this is a first for me but I won 1-0 in extra innings against the A's. The real kicker was neither team had a hit.
I had a similar game against the Guardians, 5 innings neither of us had a hit, they finally got a hit but I got out of it, ended up winning 1-0, I think my run came on a sac fly. So winning with no hits lol

https://mlb25.theshow.com/games/1686300304?platform=psn&username=dap1234567890
72 runs on 79 hits in 106 ABs (107 PAs) with 2 players hitting for the cycle
22 2Bs, 2 3Bs, 36 HRs (total of 16,114 feet or 3.052 miles in HR length) = 60 XBHs
19 of 20 in Perfect/Perfect contact (for my team only) with 10 HRs and 4 2Bs
Made the CPU pitch 391 pitches of which over 60 was with their CP
I received 31,205 XP for the 7th Inning XP Path and 444 stubs.
All this while not paying full attention because I was also watching the Mariners' game and not a "God Squad" either. Used the 87 Stargell and 87 Boggs (with 40 PWR)! Finished off 4 programs and every hitter stat mission for those programs all in one game!
Meanwhile I can't hit a [censored] thing.
Very well done, glad someone is hitting.
@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in Let’s be honest:
If I'm literally on the ball but it's not perfect, even with MAX POWER, apparently I hit the ball with a wet noodle.
Every swing i have right now is Good/weak and foul ball. I mean seriously this is August. This game is garbage this year.
Also I am beyond frustrated with the state of the CPU pitching. I'm very close to done. It's either a perfect dot that gets called for the CPU or a ball that I get frustrated at and swing because get this. I WANT TO HIT THE BALL.
@macdaddy-o_PSN said in How Are People Getting These Cards So Fast?:
How does that work, when you say you saved the Conquest Maps, etc.? You saved them to play or had one out left or something to complete them? Not clear how you'd get enough points -- even with the vouchers -- to get to the first boss in an hour. Please explain, thanks!
Also I didn't even include the August Spotlight program which gives you another 5,000 XP and the new player programs which give you 30,000 XP.
In short it shouldn't be hard for people to be at 200XP in the 7th inning program with only a little play time.

@yankblan_PSN said in How Are People Getting These Cards So Fast?:
@samguenther1987_PSN yeah but Randy and Jackie are WC rewards
O you mean the WC rewards my bad.
@macdaddy-o_PSN said in How Are People Getting These Cards So Fast?:
How are cards that were just released within the last hour for sale -- like Randy Johnson 99, Jackie Robinson 99, and David Ortiz 99? It takes 45 minutes to play a game on Weekend Classic and 15 minutes to play 3-inning games. How is it possible for people to earn enough points to get these cards this quickly -- in the amount of time to play basically one game or 3 3-inning games? I don't see how it's done. Can someone please explain?
Saved the conquest maps, and Mini Seasons from the last inning, that combined with the inning voucher, the exchanges and the 1st drop missions and I'm already at the 1st boss pack.
@TheGoaler_PSN said in A request for Mini seasons going forward:
If you make 9-inning games, then it's not really 'mini' anymore.
I think 6 is fair.
Technicaly It's only mini because it's 28 games, 9 inning games wouldn't change that, but yes I would prefer 6 innings over 9.
Yankees get 2 more cards bringing them up to 63 flashback cards.
The next closest is the Dodgers I believe with 48.
Just got Jose Bautista so I'm feeling pretty well done, nothing to grind for, nothing to do.
We will see what Friday brings but i've quit better games than this years version of the Show.
@frankieciv608_PSN said in How do I find Missions:
Some players can only be gained by missions, where are these missions located? Thanks you for the help in advance.
If you go to programs, they will be under player programs, the page after themed programs and before the monthly programs
@Bobflac_PSN said in Yeah didn’t know that employees of SDS get to change prices of cards in the marketplace.:
Yeah this been going on for years now haven’t said anything because I thought SDS knew about, been buying mlb the show for yrs now . It always seems weird that I put up a card to sell right before I hit enter the price changes . Now if that’s the way things go it’s news to me but correct if I am if this it something that I the the normal part of the game then I stand corrected.
There are bots this year, especially on the old Tops Now and Spotlight cards.
Try putting in orders close to buy or sell value and if the bot goes 1 over cancel your order and go just above the second order.
