I’ve been saying we needed a new diamond dentist for years

Wut in the actual fluck??
Hide the gummies 🤪

Let us have at least 1 more lineup slot.

Should've been Metallica but for some reason the NFL targets the casuals.

I'm a major Metallica fan. Saw the 'And Justice For All' tour at Nassau Coliseum, and went to the listening party for the 'black' album at MSG(A mosh pit actually developed......for an album listening party!!!! Memories!), but even if they just did their covers of 'tame' songs like Bob Seger's: 'Turn the page,' or Thin Lizzy's: 'Whiskey in the jar,' or their 'tame' stuff like: 'Nothing else matters,' hardcore fans would want the heavier stuff like 'The 4 horsemen,' or even 'Battery,' pronounced 'Bat-ta-ray,' when sung, for those who never heard it, lol.
What does Metallica have to do with Baseball?
The Battery, of course 🤪
Bad Bunny? I hear he had a wicked Curveball....

I think sliders have a lot to do with gameplay and difficulty.
In some modes, they're definitely cranked. That's why simulating difficulty in games is so hard to pull off.

I'm waiting for someone to say they're played Strat-O-Matic!
I saw it as a youngster, but felt it was weird playing ball as a board game.
I've always been a stat geek, in fact I have many 'subject' notebooks of me writing down stats for all 162 games of seasons of Triple Play Baseball in '97 & '98. I would do Indians seasons first, because my Mets weren't good, then a Mets season. One time, my Mets season file corrupted on game 161! I was crestfallen.
I guess i wrote the stats mainly to record my created player first. I can write really small, so it was mainly abbreviated stats of each game on each line in the notebook for every game + playoffs.

I started with Triple Play '97 with Tony Gwynn on the cover and it's now awful graphics, but they were considered great at the time. That said, they at least had all-star game players in their individual team jersey for the ASG. That's something that impressed me back then. Today's Show graphics are still great to me as well. I'm more concerned about my PCI placement, because my timing is almost always good. It's frustrating to no end, thatclose to being elite at the plate, but that's another story!

As long as they give us enough silvers and golds. I try to avoid live series if at all possible, I just don't like their generic nature (I know many people are the opposite)

They just better fix the stats and also the fatigue issues (CPU uses your pitcher, you get the fatigue hit...but they can pitch the same guy every game)

Sometimes, to combat the pitcher fatigue issue, I just plop in another starter, boop, & look! 100 stam!

I don't know why players everywhere from IG to FB, etc. expect & almost demand better graphics! Do users expect when a batter farts in the catchers face, to see the actual vapors from the gas? Do you want to see every color in a seagulls poo? Do you want to see broadcasters scurry out of the way from a foul ball, headed to their booth? Do you want to smell the pee-pee of the 4 train rumbling into Yankee Stadium station?
Many say it looks like a PS3 game. We can't even get competition or competing games in any sport, yet some expect miracles from the PS5 at this point.
I say, just don't buy or wait until the PS6 for changes and improvements.

You guys should experience opening packs in EA NHL!
Even when you acquire collectibles, let's say from 'Wildcard' mode for trade-ins, you have to open the pack(s) for them!!
We have a 'skip animation' feature, but you still have to then press L3 or square to send them to your collection after. We also have to go to our inbox to collect some items!
I don't know what would be a solution or happy medium to pack opening, so there may not be much more SDS can do, so don't be a douche, embrace the pack opening 'whoosh!'

This Ohtani 2XBH moment can go watch season 4 of Arrow on repeat nonstop for 5 months.

The only one that took multiple tries for me!
Facing soft-tossing lefty Jose Quintana batting lefty, is an exercise in frustration!
I did smash a no-doubter to finish it, though. It was glorious!

I wound up with 26 NOL packs. Is that a coincidence, since they're for '26?

I bought today with the 10% discount, so this is one of the few things I will spend less money on this year.

After tax, it's still $97.98, lol. We saved $2.02, or so 🤪

You didn't pay tax in 2025?

I did!

I will.
I hope we return to wearable caps again for pre-orders.

How about that whole hidden team in Triple Play Baseball?

@Dolenz_PSN
Not sure it’s a great marketing to repeat the same cover athlete from the word Show ever released to be fair…

That's 8 years ago. Nobody even thinks about 2018 anymore.

The year before Covid-19. 2018 was better than we thought!

Thanks, Dolenz! Appreciate you.

I still have the cap from '18!

The irony is he's not even an earth-shattering player irl.
The community glazes him embarrassingly, though 🤪

Good time for a Royals Beltran with today's news?

Maybe in '26.
