Just finished Live Series yesterday. YIPPEEEEEEE

Enough with releasing all of the best cards through Chase Packs and 250k stub collections at the bare minimum. It's annoying and there only doing it to get you to buy stubs. The live series collection is expensive as it is since you raised the max price from 500k to 750k just to make profit from you buying stubs if you have a life and don't want to grind. We literally got a promise that the best cards in the game would be scattered throughout DD, but that's been a lie. It's either packs or collections just like last year and the year before (correction, not just like last year but quite similar).

Year in and year out (just like Madden), the soundtrack for MLB The Show is terrible. Aside from 2 specific songs, this soundtrack is horrendous, 18 & 19 were good, 23 was also good, but that's it. I honestly would just upload my own favorite songs to the soundtrack but now that's gone. That was a really cool feature and something we need in the game. Y'know, if this is a "fan appreciation" version of the game.

As much as I love MLB The Show, the downfall may be starting. I've been playing since 18 and it breaks my heart to see it gradually become pay-to-win and slowly only focus on Diamond Dynasty and forget about the other offline game modes, not that I play them too much but still. This part of the power creep makes or breaks the game, and if it continues on like this, hence the content drops earlier this week, it can't rebound. MLB has pretty much no alternatives. 2K stopped in 2013, and I think RBI baseball stopped in 2023. I miss the good 'ol days of the Show, but it seems like we're long past that. Is it time for an alternative baseball sim?

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS
Ngl bro is spitting facts

I'm elaborating on another post from @akapaco159_MLBTS.
Realistic Commentary Booths
I don't even think Chris Singleton is a color commentator, and if he is, he definitely isn't with Jon Sciambi with the Cubs. Time to add some real broadcast booths like Joe Buck & Harold Reynolds (RIP Tim) or Joe Davis & John Smoltz or simply bringing back Matt Vasgersian and adding Buck Martinez beside him. Somebody other than the boring duo we've had since 22.
Realistic Walk-up Songs and Pitcher Entrances
Enough with this soundtrack that you literally won't here once at a baseball game. Time for SDS to try and get the rights to some actual songs you would hear like My Girl with Francisco Lindor, Narco with Edwin Diaz, Layla with Pete Alonso, Sweet Escape with Gunnar Henderson, Hells Bells with Ryan Helsley and Trevor Hoffman, ENTER SANDMAN WITH MARIANO RIVERA (if he ever comes back)
Ejections, Brawls, Challenges, and Double-Headers
Aside from plunking too many batters, give players and managers the opportunity to argue bad calls and get ejected. This is a realistic part of the game, why isn't it in? Depending on how long you argue, the chances you have of getting ejected go up. Give players or managers aggressive archetypes like Bryce Harper and Aaron Boone, making them more prone to arguments and ejections. Also, similar to NHL, give us the opportunity to charge the mound if a player gets hit intentionally and give us the opportunity to actually fight. At the very least, can the opportunity to challenge plays arise at places other than first base? At the very least, ADD RAINOUTS AND DOUBLE-HEADERS, SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY IN BASEBALL WTF ARE WE DOING SDS.
More Classic Stadiums
I made a previous post about former MLB stadiums to be added into the game so I won't go into detail with this, but at least add a few more than the little amount of Classic stadiums we have.
These are just some things that SDS SHOULD add to the game. @SDS_JoeK_PSN please pass this along to the team.

With the amount of bugs and freezes present in the mode, it's basically a laughing stock. It should just be removed after this year because clearly SDS doesn't have servers strong enough to support this mode.

They should even put this in DD. C'mon. You can be able to choose your player's walkup songs. Imagine playing in a ranked game and hearing Don't Stop Believin' or Smells Like Teen Spirit on the loudspeaker! It would be so cool and maybe would make the game not feel like MLB The Show 20.5

Oh no. Not Edward Cabrera

Can someone translate cuz I have no idea what this dude is saying.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN please do something.

Crazy Train, Paranoid, Iron Man, Sabbath [censored] Sabbath, Mama I'm Coming Home, the list just goes on and on.

Nothing more needs to be said except these new guys running things at SDS suck.

Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez, and Cool Papa Bell (I think) are confirmed for MLB 25.

Bro just casually not acknowledging the facts that I and others have stated. God, this is too funny!

Aside from the commentary, this game is fine and very fun. There is so much to do in Diamond Dynasty, you're never bored.

@The_Joneser_PSN
Agreed. But, to be fair, I can't say sorry to someone like @Afromeister_XBL. Maybe if he comes out of hiding and properly addresses us, that's different.

I hate Chris Singleton. Wish we had John Smoltz or Keith Hernandez as color commentators. I also want Matty V back, he was so good

I get what you're saying. I think I found the game you're talking about and it seems like there were only 3 PPs the entire game. This year, a lot of great contact and good PCI placements often result in weak popups or shallow fly balls. The game definitely isn't playing great this year, especially the hitting. It's tough dude. Striking out 18 guys and still losing just should not happen (usually).

7 MLB HOFs lost this year. How pathetic. All of these guys were so fun with theme teams.
