Polanco is alive. Mays is not.

Polanco can call them up and complain.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL Are you on Xbox?

I am. It totally worked. Thanks for the help!

@Player99_MLBTS said:

Re-download the game. Worked every time this happened to me.

I was worried about that. 120 GB.

I've stopped getting XP rewards. It was fine until yesterday and then just quit.

I'm getting XP. It pops up at the end of every inning. No rewards at the end of the game, though.

Anyone else?

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL Except for those "small market" teams. They act like "big market" teams are ruining the sport.

In reality they are just an example of greedy billionaires.

On one hand, it's understandable that team owners want to make money.

On the other, if you have $100B, eating $50-$100M a year to make a decent team is not a big deal. If you create a competitive team, you will draw fans. To paraphrase the saying: 'If you build it, they will come'.

Never. If that's true, then the Mets are lined up perfectly.

I just read something today that basically said any team with money is lined up to make an offer.

It’s that time of year again. It’ll be interesting to see how the offseason plays out given the impending lockout. This is my second entry of every free agency signing position by position.

The most interesting thing I've heard, is the Dodgers saying they won't make an offer to Skubal because they are anxious about the impending salary cap.

Since when have we heard of LA worried about salary?

@braves137_PSN said:

Why can’t we edit coaches in 2026? That is the bigger issue. So tired of hiring the best coaches on the Braves and then I get in the game and the 3rd base coach is wearing a retired number.

You're preaching to the choir. We've been asking for editable coaches for years, now.

@TripleH-4481_PSN MLB 14, here I come.

I think 2K12 or 13 was the epitome of what a baseball game should be.

I believe I still have a copy in a box, somewhere.

@superlila1000_PSN said:

I hoping before MLB the show 27 is that we can get one more player likeness I feel like this one should be a decent amount well that’s my hope

We're very unlikely to get any more kind of updates like that. Any updates they had of this nature have long since been released, I'm sure.

Also, with the impending lockout, I can only imagine the quagmire this will create with the CBA and MLBPA. We might lose everyone's player likeness.

I just 'bought' one a couple days ago. It worked fine for me.

You have a glitch. Contact support.

Dude, you need to turn down the difficulty.

There is no way to make the game 'harder'. You are the main factor in 95% of the game's 'difficulty'. How well you swing the bat. How well you throw/time your pitches. How well you guess where the pitch location is.

The game can not make you swing at the wrong time or at a bad pitch. They can't make you miss the spot on your pitch meter.

Thus, the only thing that the game can do is add in things that are beyond your control. Your teammates suck. The batters you face can hit anything you throw. The opposing team makes every play. Etc..

All of these extraneous factors are increased/decreased with the difficulty. Whatever level you have your pitching set on, take it down one notch and you will see a world of difference.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL Can’t bean him because he’s followed by Olson who constantly gets hits against me regardless of where I throw and how well I execute so beaning him is essentially conceding a run.

Also [censored] Bobby Witt Jr, I don’t know what SDS were thinking when they juiced this guy. There’s literally nothing I can do to stop him getting on base and scoring.

Who's after Olson? They can't have three world-beaters in a row.

Throw Olson FBs that give him a shave. Then breaking pitches down and away. If he gets on base, oh well. Throw the next guy breaking junk down in the zone and hope for a double play.

... or bean Olson, too. (you might get tossed, though)

Bean him.

I get guys like this. You'll waste 15 pitches on them.

@BlueJayGuy67_XBL i think with the stadium roof you should be able to place any object on the field as long as its like 500 feet in the air or something like that

This. I've seen it done. However, it looks awful.

It looks really janky because the objects don't mesh together very well. As well, it takes so many objects to create a 'dome', you will use up all your memory making one and not have much left for stadium props.

Like @sarge1387_psn was saying, we just add it all to the wishlist and hope that next year's (doubt it) iteration has some changes.

Can anyone tell me what exactly are the grey shadows that some players have for their pictures?

AFAIK, if a player has a face scan, they have a picture. If they don't have a scan, they have the generated picture. What about the grey shadow outline players?

From what I can tell, these players are updated in a save franchise. Both ways. I've seen grey shadows get a picture and I've seen players lose their picture and turn into a grey shadow.

Are they players that have withdrawn (or granted) their consent?

@GiantYankees_XBL said:

Can we have more stadium creation options? Bullpens off the field, adjustable foul territory, etc. also more uniform creation options like wool old time textures like they have in the retro uniforms.

Go to the Stadiums/Uniforms sub-thread. We have many topics asking for these very things.

@Dolenz_PSN said:

If they don't add it maybe I will.

I can do the first 3 conditions (Batters, LH, Live Series) on the Web page I created but it looks like I did not include birth date or age into the advanced search options

https://diamond-scout.dolenz.chatgpt.site/

That's a handy website, but not what I was looking for.

I'll explain a situation that happened to me: In the offseason, I ended up with like 20 SP and 20 RP. I wanted to convert a couple of the SP to RP. So, what would be awesome, if I could open filters and choose SP, less than 65 STA and RHP.

As of right now, to find that combo, I have to tab over to the SP tab and either scroll waaay over to the STA stat and sort by that or I have to open the player cards and go one by one to find the guy I'm looking for. And if I edit a guy, all of my sorting resets and it goes back to the main 'ALL' tab and I have to do all that over again.

You can filter the player search tab, so I'm sure they can just add that code to the roster tab.

@Doppelganger39_PSN

I totally forgot 989.

Since the main thing people are posting about lately is wish list for next season (even though I'm sure additions are long since coded) I'll add one of mine:

A real QOL addition would be filters for rosters. Ex. I only want to see left handed batters, on the 40 man roster and under the age of 30.

Sorting through 90 guys to find one is often taxing.
