You can pull hundreds of hundreds of Randy Rodriguezes...

Humidor remains undefeated.

They've been added to the ULTRA choice packs (along with Signature and HRDX).

SURELY they'll be hidden in a Conquest map eventually, right? Right?!?

I liked the idea behind the vouchers in that you could earn points for something before it was released. But the execution could definitely be tweaked.

One suggestion: for the ASG series, have the voucher be for a retro ASG card for the specific team. You then use that card (and other various program tasks (moments, missions, collections, etc) to get the current ASG card.

This gives you the immediate earn AND something to earn after the drop.

@Teak2112_MLBTS said in 11th Inning XP path - Packs! Packs! Get Your Rewind Packs!:

Would be an unwelcome change from the past two years if they didnt give them all again in the forever path.

Even if it’s not all 3, giving them again will drastically lower market prices.

Since we’re not getting a stream, hope we at least get a “Show Not Live” to discuss future plans.

… Reed ?

Under Programs/Other/Spotlight.

Once there, you can look at each program and see what tasks you can accomplish to earn points towards those rewards.

For example, for the Blue bat in May Spotlight 5...

• There's 8 moments for 3 points each
• That'll earn you the 1st two Program Players (Clement & Cameron)
• Earn 1500 points using those 2 cards. That'll complete 3 missions earning you another 20 program points.

Congrats, you now have 44 points in the program, and have earned the Blue Lighting bat, along with a bunch of other packs and XP.

I know my team (Angels) doesn’t deserve too many 99s historically or lately, but I’d like to see a 99 OVR Awards 2018 ROY Ohtani. Started playing in ’22. Did they ever have that card? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it since I started playing.

Flashback Shohei's:

2022: 88 Cover Card

2023: 99 Finest

... and then he was never heard from again.

Easy to do historic teams in 2K when there's only 5 legends per team to negotiate rights.

Much tougher in MLB when there's 25/40 people to sign.

Gold Lightning: April Spotlight 5, 35 points
Blue Lightning: May Spotlight 5, 35 points
Purple Lightning: June Spotlight 4, 35 points
Orange Lightning: July Spotlight 4, 35 points
Green Lightning: August Spotlight 5, 35 points
Pink Lightning: September Spotlight 4, 35 points

If it's in the game, it's in the game.

I much prefer earning it over being gifted it randomly.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Retro finest cards:

I knew any eventual Goldschmidt card would be a Diamondback. At this point I am wondering if Cardinal Fans will ever see an MVP version before he retires.

Goldy's got twice as much career WAR as a DBack (39.9) than as a Bird (22.6).

The New Threads card was what took the place of a 'Gold Card'.

@Talkingben9558_XBL said in My Must-Haves To Purchase MLB The Show 26:

How about SDS just puts all the clips of all announcers this year into the game. You can choose who calls the game and get real audio of them calling a game. (They would have to put in them saying all the legends' names tho) This could be a realistic route to making the announcers less boring

The download file would be bigger than the PS5's hard drive.

@HuckTheFuskers3_XBL said in Are the Dodgers "Ruining" Baseball?:

I can promise you demand is not high to go watch the Twins

Funny/Ironic/whatever that of the 9 teams ranked 19-27 in attendance, 7 of them are Central teams. The outliers are the Cubs (#7), Brewers (#12), and Detroit (#16).

Those two divisions really are the garbage dump of MLB. Sorry.

@Dolenz_PSN said in Blizzard drop 1 program:

I mean I probably could but that 62 steal attribute and 75 speed discourages me from trying.

P5 that mother to make him 67/80. Stealing should be automatic at that point.

@platewelder_363_PSN said in Are the Dodgers "Ruining" Baseball?:

I refuse to go to a game and pay the outrageous prices. It’s only gonna get worse.

You do realize that ticket prices and player contracts are only tangentially related. Ticket prices are high because demand for tickets is high (unless you live in Florida or Central California.)

Is MLB going to have an announcement show where they drag out the actual award announcement until the end or do they drop a press release exactly at 6:00pm CST?

Have to work tonight and need to know when to sneak away and check Twitter to confirm Skenes's 1st of many trophies.
