• Matt Bowman was changed to a SP but only has 31 stamina? He wasn't on there opening day roster but he was called up after.

YANKEES:

NONE.

RAYS:

Drew Rasmussen (RHP) was changed to SP but only has 50 stamina?

BLUE JAYS:

OF George Springer only has RF but should have CF in his positions he was the starting CF on opening day!

OF Travis Jankowski - Needs his card updated to the WHITE SOX it still is the RANGERS one.

Shane Smith (RHP) was changed to a SP but only has 30 stamina?

GUARDIANS:

OF Steven Kwan only has LF for his positions? He has played RF in his career!

CF/3B Ryan Kreidler (R) only has SS/3B for his positions? He has played CF and played this on opening day!

ROYALS:

SS Bobby Witt Jr. was only given SS for his positions?

SP Kris Bubic only has 32 stamina?

TWINS:

LRP Randy Dobnak (RHP) should be a RP and at least a FREE AGENT card in Diamond Dynasty because Randy Dobnak was on the TWINS opening day roster just was sent down afterwards he did appear in 1 game for them then.

RHP Darren McCaughan also should be added to the 40 man roster so he shows up in Diamond Dynasty to.

ASTROS:

P Ryan Gusto should have been a RP as he was the long reliever on Opening Day. Since injuries he now is a starter so not that big of a deal now.

ANGELS:

NONE.

MARINERS

NONE.

METS:

SP Clay Holmes only has only 55 stamina? I get he is an ex closer, but he pitched in 2025 spring training prepared to be a starter at minimum he should have is 65 stamina.

PHILLIES:

Pitcher Taijuan Walker (RHP) - He should be a SP and he has been pretty good in his starts with a 0.00 ERA.

NATIONALS:

NONE.

CUBS:

Colin Rea (RHP) should have been a RO on opening day but I guess because of STEELE injury Colin Rea now in the rotation so it should be fine I guess.

I wanted to also say thank you for listening and using some of the things I suggested the last few years.

This goes to show you that they do listen to constructive criticism, this attacking or posting things without any proof or source is not going to get things evaluated.

People might not have liked my post, rants or videos last year in this very league forum among other places, but by me doing so and building friendly relationships with devs over the years I feel I'm somewhat responsible we now have a lot of those issues fixed.

https://forums.theshow.com/topic/73577/mlb-the-show-2025-wish-list-based-on-custom-league-needs

Now did we get any new features? No but everything I had issues with in the past especially last year are working!! Still would like to see WIND as an option for custom leagues.

It's going to be a process but the foundation has been made.

In all the other leagues from 20-23 there were glitch faces on sny non scan player in our league but not offline I got this fixed along with displays for pitchers not showing stats. All this was fixed on 24.

Now we had a boat load of other displays issues the 0 stat glitch all year last year and uniforms not working until June. I was able to work behind the scenes along with 2025 WISH LIST and all of it was fixed that been a thorn in our custom leagues since 2020. This is PROGRESS folks and thank you SDS team who listened.

Next step now that the issues have need addressed is to work on getting some missing features added as we go forward into 2026 and on.

Thanks, HB

You know players don't get secondary positions added until they play at least 5 games at that position?

I am no rookie at this and we are talking about veteran players that for what ever reason had there positons removed that they always had prvious games. Myself and my team do the research and use MLB.COM and Minors to verify who played where. Springer makes no sense among the others listed.

It's the same thing when it comes to no wind in online games, no stepping out, no injuries. It's by design. Now I am not 100% a out balks online but I couldve sworn I herd them say in one of htose DD streams that balks were disabled online. I could be wrong and it's just a bug which I suggest you and your guys go fill out bug reports. Yes it's tedious but they do look at those and post video proof and images of the issue provide as much detail about the issue and perhaps it will get looked into if it's not by design. But being sarcastic or pissed off and coming into the forums ranting doesnt help getting it fixed if they will do that. The more information you provide the better.

I will see if I track down the stream where I herd them talk about online and balks. If I can find it I will post the video and time stamp.

I noticed this pre-launched and have did several bug reports bur 8 patches later and this is still broken not displaying the pitchers PITCH TYPES at the end of the game.
It's showing last pitcher used pitch types and even on the opposite team.

We used to be able to go under PITCHER ANALYSIS go under each team use D-PAD and cycle thru teams pitchers used and it would always display the correct data like

PITCH TYPE
PITCHES THROWN
STRIKE %

Again now it will show the last pitcher used PITCH TYPE on left but your starters PITCH THROWN # and STRIKE %.

When u cycle thru pitchers BOTH teams it will still only show last pitcher used.

Players 2025 positions still need updated.

Morning,

I have asked several times and im going to try this again.

Whoever made the decision to only give 1 position to players this year for live series cards didn't consider how this effects CUSTOM LEAGUES.

We have constantly players out of position because of this. We use real life teams lineup fior each game as we follow the real life 2025 MLB Schedule in my custom league. We have done this since 2020.

All im asking is please take it under consideration and add these positions to the players I have listed. I spent the time myself and gathered the info and proof 2 months ago and still not 1 player was updated since.

I have supported this game since 2011 and im almost to the end where im mo longer going to because in the beginning u guys were super nice responded and fixed things when asked now I just get ignored.

There was a time I gave a height and weight corrections list and the lead designer at the time thanked me and appreciated the "attention to detail" his words not mine.

My intentions is only to make the game enjoyable for us die hard online guys who ONLY play in custom leagues and buy this game ever year.

We constantly are having to accept you guys removing "key features" that's killing the immersion of baseball.

Since 2018 there was no more online franchise what we got in 2020 is nothing like we had from 2008-2017.

In 2022 you guys decide to remove WIND in all online games 2 months after release here we are in 2025 abd still has not been turned back on. This is unrealistic as wind and weather is a huge part of baseball and any outside ballpark.

Ok so in 2023 the next year you remove injuries from all online games. Same as above unrealistic your the only sports game that does this not allowing all weather and injuries online!

In 2024 you decide to remove step outs at the plate in all online games which again is ridiculously unrealistic! It's a part of baseball they do ut plenty of times in real life.

Now in 2025 you decide to cut pause timer to 1:30 that resulted in constantly forfeit games on our custom leagues because yes we pause to make substitutions in 7th and on and we pause to check pitcher analysis.

You remove the effect of using bullpen slow toss, schedule to put in relief pitchers etc online making all pitcher automatically ready again unrealistic just give us options the people who wanna skip thru presentation be in a hurry or not play with wind give them options to play rushed but for people like myself and im sure many others give us options to turn on or off these things how we personally wanna play and have these things on or off especially WIND and play people who also like to use the things on.

Baseball is not to be played without half these things removed or hurry up games.

Thanks,

H.B.
