They only added just one model of Asics cleats and removed many others like Jordan, Addidas, New Balance which are popularly used among MLB players. It doesn't make sense.

The contact swing is still cheating for hitting home runs.
I've hit a lot of home runs on my contact swing and even today I hit a 456-feet home run with a contact swing.
When this happens, I can't help but doubt the necessity of the power swing.
The power swing causes a wasted swing and is more disadvantageous than the contact swing when it comes to home runs which is nonsense.

Guys, wouldn't it be awesome if The Show had a feature like the shoes editing in NBA 2K?
We could design our own cleats with different shapes, colors, and brands.
Think about all the new cleat designs you could create, or even choose from models that aren't currently in the game. It would add a whole new level of customization!
I just left this feedback for the show 24 as well.
Hopefully, SDS takes it into account!

@NiteLordz said in Created players nominated for ROY with several MLB service years:

I just created Miguel Sano, with 7 years of service time. Added him to a roster, and he shows as a Rookie. I am curious if there is a way to have him not be a rookie as well.

That's exactly what I want.
It seems like they use logic to only check the number of played games that meet the rookie eligibility.
It would be good to change the logic to double check not only the games played but also the service time.

Hey guys,
I'm just saying that the contact swing has a greater advantage in hitting a home run than the power swing.
I'm not saying that you should never hit a home run with the contact swing.

Can you online DD guys stop it already...Si%T happens in real baseball, yes you can get homeruns with contact swings, its less of a chance but you can. Same with getting a perfect perfect line out, in real baseball Vladdy or Judge could hit a 110mph exit velo right at someone and its an out, maybe you guys are getting confused with launch angles?

Yes you can surely get home runs with contact swings.
I'm not saying you shouldn't hit a home run with your contact swing. I'm just raising the issue because I get more home runs on my contact swing than power swing. I hope you read this part straight.

I watch a lot of real MLB games and I"ve seen numerous times where guys look like they're just trying to touch the ball instead of swinging for the fences and it goes over the fence. That happens a lot more often than you might think.

I was watching a White Sox game the other day I saw Tim Anderson hit a home run and it looked like he was just barely swinging the bat. He just took a casual swing at the ball and there it went. So most of these people who are always complaining and whining are unaware of the game of baseball.

There's literally nobody here that actually plays the game on a professional level. It's just a bunch of people who are comparing every action to what they think happened in the video game at some time in the past. It's tiring to read

Maybe I've watched more baseball games than you and maybe I've been playing The Show for much longer than you. I'm not saying you should never hit a home run with a contact swing. But it's hitting more home runs than the power swing.
In an actual baseball game, how many more do you think the number of home runs you get when you barely swing is likely to come out than you swing with your intentions?
First of all, I recommend that you read the article with attention first before sarcastic about other people's opinions or maybe you're just an ignorant guy.

It's really cool that new legends are added every year and the Negro League Mode is added this year. But how many users among The Show users can remember the Negro Leagues and enjoy this new mode?

I think the existing legends need to be improved first. Some legends have good reproduction, but many of them have appearances and motions that are completely different from reality and it's been like that for several years.
Active players need to be updated every time because their appearance changes as time passes, but once legends are properly worked on it, they will remain even as the series changes. So it's much more cost-effective than working on active players.

Still, I am very grateful that SDS is open to listening to these topics. I've been playing The Show for over 10 years and have given feedback almost every year since I had a channel to give feedback on the game and they mostly responded seriously.
We can experience the great legacy of Major League Baseball in this game, and now we need to enjoy it even better.

How do you guys figure out when a pitcher's gonna throw a high fastball?
Back in the day, if a pitcher shook his head while exchanging signs with the catcher, it usually meant a high fastball.
But in the show 24, I'm not so sure.
Maybe there's a new pattern emerging, like PitchCom's influence or something.
I put fastball slider at maximum for more realistic experience.
How do you catch onto these hints?
