Community Forum

Let's be careful not to talk about specific tools and methods here. We don't want to make it any easier for people to do this than it already is.

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS -- Your threads get locked because they cause tumultuous and unproductive discussion. When your initial post begins the thread by calling out others by name, you're not off to a good start.

We've discussed this both publicly and privately, but I'll remind you one last time: you're allowed to criticize the game as long as you do so respectfully and constructively. You're also allowed to respond to people who reply in your thread, as long as those responses are respectful and productive.

Creating threads that are passive aggressive and intended to stir the pot isn't productive and won't be tolerated.

Hey folks,

As always, we're happy to hear your opinions and complaints, but they must be given in respectful and productive ways. The feedback on Gary Sanchez has been passed on to the team.

In the meantime, I'm closing this thread, not because of the opinions that it contains, but because of a general lack of respect for others being showcased by some.

Respect for fellow members is the cornerstone rule of these forums and it's non-negotiable.

Thanks!

As many of you know, this week, we replaced the Jose Alvarado Moonshot Series card with the Tanner Scott Moonshot Series card and as a result, the community had some questions that we wanted to clarify.

-Earning Tanner Scott
-PXP Missions
-Collections

Earning Tanner Scott

There’s some confusion around how to get the Tanner Scott Moonshot card. If you earned the Alvarado card before this change was made, you would not automatically have the Scott card in your inventory. To ease this confusion, we’re awarding the Scott card to all player accounts that already had Alvarado.

PXP Missions

Alongside this change, on Tuesday, we replaced the corresponding Alvarado PXP mission with one for the Tanner Scott card. This new PXP mission can be completed by all players for 5 Stars towards completing the Moonshot Program.

Collections

We’ve removed the Alvarado Moonshot card from the Moonshot Collection, so it will not count towards completion progress. This is to help minimize any potential future confusion. This means Scott simply replaces Alvarado in the Collection as one of the 41 cards you need to complete. Please note: There is no advantage to having both cards, and Alvarado cannot be acquired moving forward, nor given through Support requests.

Thank you!

I've seen this mentioned before and I think it's a cool idea. I'm not sure if there's some reason (technical or otherwise) that it we haven't done that yet, but I'll share this with the team so they're aware of the interest.

Edit:

I talked to the team about this and got some added context on this that I wanted to share with you guys. The intent here was to allow players who missed out on previous XP reward paths to catch up on previous Cornerstone programs. If we made them exchangeable, we would have to make them exchangeable even if you only had one, and we don't want players to accidentally exchange their card and get locked out of its related content.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL - Love the spirit of this thread. We need more like this for sure. Appreciate being included and grateful that I get to be a part of this community with you all everyday.

I can share this feedback with the team for sure. Thanks!

@TheBigPapa55_PSN -- I actually ended up finishing the collection over the weekend, so pretty stoked about that.

You've got me wondering though, what the breakdown of SDS folks who have Beltran vs don't vs don't plan to get him, etc. would be. Hmm... might have to do a little casual internal polling

There's been a lot of great, legitimate feedback around the 20 card limit, including in this thread, but it's gotten to the point where the conversation is no longer productive, so I'm going to lock this thread for now.

Hey folks,

Greatly appreciate this thread as well as the feedback it contains. Keeping this conversation in one place definitely makes things easier.

While we don't currently have any updates or timelines that I can share, I can tell you that the team is taking a good look at Stadium Creator. We'll share any updates that we can as they become available.

As always, we appreciate everyone's patience and support.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL -- I hope it goes without saying that my intention here isn't to diminish anyone's concerns. On the contrary, I've tried to be visible in addressing this issue for the community and making sure everyone knows that our team understands the frustration and are working to deliver a fix.

@ooooooookayy_XBL -- It's hard for me to comment fully on this screenshot as I haven't seen your tickets or been a part of your conversation with support.

All of that said, I say this sincerely: This issue is frustrating to say the least and anyone who has encountered it has every right to be upset and/or angry about it. Full stop. Our team understands that and has worked hard on a fix for the issue that we plan to include in the next update.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to pop in and let you know that I discussed this with the team and they're investigating. Feel free to keep this thread updated on your status as/if things change.

Thanks!

@ROTMG88_PSN watching now. Thanks for sharing!

I'm being told that the marketplace should be working as normal on the app now. If you're still experiencing issues, let me know.

Thanks!

@Chrono_Omega_PSN -- The letter of the rule may say one thing, but everyone seems to understand what the spirit of the rule is. Still, I've gone ahead and fixed the rule to remove this loophole.

We all have tough games that frustrate us, but the rule on these forums is that we show others respect, and it's non-negotiable.

Thank you.

@mhenry23_PSN -- For the team's part, there is a lot of work behind the scenes to improve the situation, so please don't mistake judicious communication with inaction.

For the community's part, talking about specific methods of how these things work only serves to make the problem worse. There's no upside. That's why the forum rules say members may not "Discuss specific cheating methods in detail." Those who do may be subject to suspension.

Hey everyone,

Our aim is to maintain a healthy marketplace experience for all players. To that end, we closely track marketplace activity to ensure that accounts operating outside of certain parameters are addressed.

With this in mind, we recently made changes to our processes for identifying and addressing bot and other automated activity on the website and companion app.

If you believe your account was restricted in error as a result of these changes, we encourage you to reach out to Support. Each case will be reviewed individually.

We appreciate your understanding.

Appreciate that there's some frustration around custom stadiums and, as I've mentioned, the team is investigating.

Here's a great thread that you to check out and if you want to, add to it constructively: https://forums.theshow.com/topic/75136/official-thread-for-bugs-and-issues-in-stadium-creator-for-mlb-the-show-25/41?_=1744047705999

In the meantime, I'm going to close this thread because I don't think we're headed in a productive direction as far as the discussion goes. Do appreciate the passion and engagement though, truly.

Hi,

For the record, we have no problem with you all criticizing the game itself, as long as that does not devolve into personal attacks or result in the breaking of other forums rules.

I'm locking this thread because it has done those two things. Anyone who has actually read the forum rules will be able to pick out the issues here.

If similar threads are posted and they progress as this one has, they'll be locked too -- not because we're "silencing opinions", but because we expect the members of our forums to show respect for one another and follow the rules -- full stop.

If anyone has any questions or would like clarification on anything, feel free to DM me.

Can confirm it's a visual bug and the team is working on a fix. Hoping to have it included in the next update.
