Next stream will be the Diamond Dynasty Feature Premiere on 3/5 at 2pm PT. I'll have a fancy image I can add here soon hopefully

Some of you have requested that we add streaming schedule updates for the upcoming year to the forums, and we think that's a great idea!

So, with that in mind, this thread will serve as your official forum-based stream schedule update thread.

Please note: Stream timing can be fluid and may be subject to change for a variety of reasons. We ask that you bear with us in the face of any changes that may occur. Thanks!

@LHUBison58_XBL -- I think this makes a lot of sense. We do weekly social post that gives an idea of what to expect content-wise every Monday (example: https://x.com/MLBTheShow/status/2026046910507766230?s=20), but it doesn't always include the streams.

The stream times/schedules can be a bit fluid, so I'll do my best to accommodate this and keep you all posted on stream timing each week.

I can tell you guys that the next stream will be the Diamond Dynasty Feature Premiere at 2pm PT on 3/5, and the Live Content Stream will be during the week of Early Access (probably 3/12, but again that's not necessarily set in stone at this point)

I think a stickied thread or post for this is a great idea, with the understanding that timing for streams can be fluid and subject to various changes.

Good feedback from all of you and good idea here.

Thanks!

For those that haven't seen it yet, here's the link to the Fielding Feedback: Franchise video:

@Sarge1387_PSN -- I don't have anything concrete to share right now, but I'll keep everyone posted as necessary. I know that's not a satisfactory "answer" (generous description, I know), but kind of the best one I have at the moment.

We'll talk more about it in the coming weeks/months.

Just want to remind everyone that we have no issue with criticism related to the game itself, as long as it's given respectfully and constructively, but personal digs at individual SDS team members or other forum members is unacceptable and will earn you a one-way ticket to Bantown.

Thanks and carry on!

My understanding is that on rare occasions, the odd player may come to get scanned at the studio, but it's not a regular occurrence.

I don't have any info to share currently on changes to the process going forward.

To give a little bit of clarity on how the face scan process works, we scan players each year at Spring Training using a pretty elaborate camera rig, so remote scanning using that same technology isn't possible.

Participation is optional of course, with some players choosing to be scanned and others choosing not to, and we fully respect their choice either way.

Just wanted to offer some context on on this because I know that's something a lot of people are interested in.

@AndyWilk09_PSN -- I have a Backbone, which is a similar device (remote play, etc.) and there can definitely be some lag, but a lot of that has to do with my network. If the bandwidth happens to be a little thinner, I might notice more lag, but it's usually not too bad.

@AndyWilk09_PSN -- to the best of my knowledge, Franchise mode is the same across all versions of the game.

If I may, I'd suggest another option, and don't take this as me "shilling" here, but a PlayStation Portal might be worth considering compared to a Switch 2 (unless the S2 is something want for other reasons). It's significantly cheaper and it would be an extension of your existing PS experience, rather than forcing you to start over in terms of progress.

Again, the Switch presents a different, but also awesome, experience, so if you're looking to get a Switch 2 so you can play it with your kids as they get older or something like that, that totally makes sense. But if it's mainly about your MLBTS experience and making it more portable, I'd go with the Portal.

Hope that's helpful!

Congrats on the new baby! That's amazing news.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN -- I ran this by the team before the holiday and we were curious as to where you were entering the name. I'm assuming the My Squad screen? It's possible that a portion of the word is banned for some reason, which seems strange, I know.

Any other details you might be able to share would be great too. 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.

Can't speak to '26 plans at this point, but don't know of any plans to add any New Threads cards to '25.

@rageincage007_XBL -- Interesting. Let's keep an eye on that for sure.

Hey folks,

The team believes they may have a fix in place for this. If anyone is still having issues, let me know.

Thanks for flagging, folks. I'll get with the team on this right way.

Edit: The team is looking into this for us.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN -- oh I don't -- not to worry. Led Zeppelin is one of my all-time faves from any decade!

You can always submit a support request, via the link in the top right-hand corner of the forums, and the support team can look into it for you.

No promises that the other team will be banned, but it doesn't hurt to give the team the details needed to investigate it.

Hope that helps!

@Dolenz_PSN -- 100% this.

Also, the 80s and 90s is clearly the correct answer here.
