I believe he's referring to Sportsnet the Canadian equivalent of ESPN.

The parent company of which (Rogers) owns not only the network, but also the Blue Jays, the Maple Leafs, the Raptors and a giant media corporation.

This is a HOF post. Kudos.

Okay, I'll bite: What happens on Nov. 5th?

@J_Kidd1231_PSN

But none of that matters to 99% of the player base. I don't care if there are cheaters. I don't care if cheaters are getting banned. I don't cheat. I don't play the modes that interact with cheaters.

My only concern is there is a decent, playable game in a mode that I use, and I don't have to use some kind of VC to play that mode.

Sadly, there is only two companies that have the wherewithal to produce a AAA baseball game. We all know which ones.

As much as you might get a decent game, you'd get a full-on pay-to-win cash grab.

If you think the need for stubs is bad now, imagine when every single thing cost stubs and the only way to get them was to buy. The other alternative is DD becomes the only mode with any weight. Franchise and RTTS would become even lesser modes than they are now.

Be careful what you wish for.

The irony of that being I didn't choose my gamertag. My wife did.

I have to say, if the folks who create the NSFW logos put their talents into legit logos, they would be fantastic.

They are some great logos. They are vulgar and obscene, don't get me wrong, but the designers have obvious talent.

We need to find these guys. I have a list of actual logos that I want created.

Just to add to this:

Under the props banner, wall props. Signs and ads, etc.. Not just for the fences, but static ads for the backstop.

Numbers and letters that can be placed on the walls, and better numbers/letters in general. The ones now are garbage.

I’m playing on Hall of Fame difficulty because I want realistic stats, but I barely earn any training tokens. Lowering the difficulty feels too easy and results in unrealistic stats for me, like ERAs below 1.00.
The problem is that the Stuff attributes already cost a lot of tokens at relatively low levels, so it feels like progression is extremely slow on Hall of Fame.
How are you guys developing your pitchers in RTTS if you’re aiming for realistic stats? Is there a specific way to spend your tokens or a certain progression strategy that works well without having to lower the difficulty?

That is one heck of a subjective question.

It really depends on how you play your game. You need to choose where to spend on tokens on how you play and how well you play.

Examples: I'm pretty good at locating my pitches. So, I put my tokens into my pitch velo/break before anything. If you're a starter, you might want to spend some on stamina. Maybe you're a low-velo guy who paints the corners. Then you want to dump a bunch into your control.

The stuff I would leave until you have the points, is things like KR/L, discipline, HR/L, HR and all the other stuff that seems to have more to do with simming.

I think after you play a dozen games or so, you will see where you need to improve. But, IMO, those are the big ones ... Control, Velo/Break and Stamina. Everything else you spice to taste.

And, as to your questions about the difficulty, I set mine on dynamic. I'm not good enough to play on HOF, but I end up on all-star (or somewhere around there). I find that is the best way to keep your stats realistic. If you're too good, it jacks it up.

Hope that helps.

@BlueJayGuy67_XBL

I see you're a Blue Jays fan. Just curious, have you ever been to Exhibition Stadium for a Jays game?

If you have, I have to wonder why you would want that included (unless you're some fantasy guy who wants to replay '77 with actual rosters and stadiums).

If you haven't, I have to say, it was one of the worst stadiums ever built ... for baseball. It was a football stadium that they would convert for the baseball season. The stands were all football bench seats facing the 'middle' of the field.

Just because something is old, doesn't make it 'nostalgic'.

Yep.

It isn't just for SDS, though. This holds true for all games like this: When it comes to offline, single-player games, there's no such thing as cheating. Let us change and/or turn off anything we (don't) want.

As long as what you alter doesn't change anything that gives you a monetary advantage (like earn you more digital currency) or affect other players (like leaderboards), everything should be available.

I need 3 logos made in MLB the show 26 I’m on ps5 can anyone help would be appreciated

Unless they are something nasty, you can find almost anything in the vault.

Or, unless they are bespoke. Then, good luck.

@Rhyno1986_XBL

You don't read these forums much, do you?

He posts an 'I'm worried' topic about once a week. He has OCD and is compelled to post.

People like him have an absolute need for routine and order. Anything that is not the way it is supposed to be will cause them distress. Not only that, there is also a feeling that if they don't do things in the manner they are supposed to do, it will result in some kind of disaster (like if they don't lock the door three times, that will be the day the home invasion happens).

So, a weird glitch might not be worrisome to us, their world might come to end if it happens to them.

Just enjoy the posts.

@D_Rod935_PSN

I never said 'they don't belong'. I just said I don't need them in a sports game.

FIFA (back before it was EA FC) actually had a career mode and a story mode. If you wanted to play all the story nonsense, it was there for you. The only caveat was you couldn't choose the guy you were playing.

That was the best of both worlds IMO.

@D_Rod935_PSN

I didn't read your far too long post. But I keep seeing you post 'FRANCHISE'.

I play RTTS when I don't want to play a full team. When I don't want to manage rosters. When I don't want to worry about GM duties.

I play it when I want to play one guy. Grasp that concept and we'll be good.

Now, let's understand each other. I want to play that ONE GUY and I want to play him without a story. You want to have some RPG baseball story. We can have both. You can have all your bells and whistles and other stuff ... just let me turn all that stuff off. They do that, and we'll both be happy.

@D_Rod935_PSN

RTTS is controlling one player. That's it. Not a team. Not a roster. Not finances. Not a story.

Just one player and their career.

There is nothing implied that you need a story. Again, if you want some kind of RPG element to that career, that's fine. But I don't. I don't want 'storylines' or dialogue choices that have zero impact on my career. So, I should be able to skip that nonsense. I don't want to talk to scouts. I don't want to talk to the manager. I don't want cutscenes at the draft.

I want to play baseball. And I want to do it quickly without interruptions. They can add all the stuff you're asking for ... just let me turn it off.

The only thing I could suggest is trying the game on another machine. You must know someone that has a console you could log into.

This has happened to people before and I've heard all manner of advice from reinstalling to logging out/in to your account. I'm surprised that support couldn't help you. The saves are there ... somewhere.

Agreed. I don't use bat grips. They're all horrible.

+1

I'm not saying I'd love to go back to my 8-bit days, but I'd much rather have the memory be used on gameplay and physics.
