Yeah, possibly about 70 packs between Twitch Drops, Now and Later, and Digital Deluxe edition. Never seen anything like it. I am curious how this will turn out.

Remember, there won't be sets and seasons. This means a card like Babe Ruth will absolutely crush every pitcher and have a huge PCI from March until August. Lefty on lefty will be manageable.

No, they will not make two different game engines, because cross play is mandatory. Secondly, yes, graphics can be improved on current gen, but only on certain things that your chatgpt spit out. Things like upgrades in animations cannot be made.

The hitting engine cannot be different than what will be on Switch. The Switch's ability to create ball physics is around 15-20% of what current gen can do.

@GixxerRyder750_PSN It is unlikely they will create two different game engines, and have current gen consoles play on either one, based on if they are playing against Switch or not. Pretty much unheard of.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL Hey man, I would love for this to be the case, and I thought for sure it was so. However, it is confirmed that Switch has crossplay with PS5 and Xbox Series X. This means the hitting engine physics is fundamentally limited by only whatever the Switch is capable of. Graphical improvements are also hampered by this fact.

You can find confirmation of Switch crossplay with current gen in the FAQ for MLB The Show 25 on this website. I am just as frustrated as anyone else, I have owned a PS5 since 2020 and this is the most BS console generation in my lifetime.

Actually, I think it is due to an economic decision to support weak Nintendo hardware. Or, possibly there was a deal made with MLB that The Show had to be developed for Nintendo to keep MLB rights. Either way, having Nintendo hardware being part of crossplay means that World War 3 will likely happen before there would be a huge graphical or game engine overhaul. I'm actually not joking, either. The Switch 2 will likely be about the power of the PS4, so yeah, no change when that is available.

In the FAQ of The Show 25, it clearly states that there will be crossplay between the Switch and PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This means there will be no new engine created for the game. There will be no innovative changes to the hitting engine. The whole game will be bound to the hardware limitations of the Switch, which is a bit better than the PlayStation 3.

The 6 hours of being excited for current gen only were fun. But with this information about crossplay compatibility with Switch means there will be minimal changes to the game.

I am very sad, and will likely not be purchasing the game for the first time since I started playing in MLB 16.

Actually, buying stubs launch night is a time that makes sense, because you can buy packs and actually sell cards for a profit. You can gamble and see if you get a big pull and it will pay off big time. However, if $100 means a lot to you, buying stubs is never worth it.

I highly recommend the oled c1 or c2 a lot of people dont know they actually have faster response times than any monitor. Im in world series and play on the 55 inch so I can def vouch for it. It will take a while to get used to but worth it

Sick, I'm pretty set on getting it! You wanna buy it for me? Lol jk

@HustlinOwl_MLBTS said in Any WS players out there game on a TV?:

My 65 C1 >>> monitor

Yeah I am really leaning towards getting the 55 inch C2! No more sitting with my face crouched over a screen lol

Awesome response Mr wonderful, I like to hear people's varied experiences. Sounds like you enjoy your tv. I hope you got a good portion of your money back on that $550 purchase!

Ha that's cool. Yeah it's interesting to hear people's experiences, because I initially did so much better with a monitor, but now that TV's response times are just as good, I'm not so sure.

So I am a WS player, I am just prefacing this post because I like to play where the pitch speeds are fastest. I want to be capable of competing on legend.

Anyway, I started playing on my 55 inch TV and am laying off balls much easier. The ball just looks so huge and easy to read compared to everything feeling so small playing on a monitor. Even though my TV is 60hz and 13 ms input lag, I'm not doing so bad.

I was wondering if anybody bought the 120hz capable LG C2 or C1 TV and plays just as well on it over playing on a monitor? It is a big investment, so I guess I am just looking for someone out there that actually made the rare switch from monitor back to tv, because I haven't heard a story about it! Thanks!

I want to buy the game, but I don't want to learn how to play it.

Yep, I was 15-0 in the TA mini season when I got the glitch. Compensation with TA vouchers is the only way, and they would probably have to give them to everyone, so I'd take 3. Better than nothing.

I move it the search bar all the way to the left, I want to play someone in my rating range as narrow as possible.

I like 1080p 24 inch monitors, I find it to be the most ideal size to be disciplined in the strike zone. I recommend 120 hz monitors.

Acer xf243y

Or

LG GL600F

Both are well under $200

...the AI likes to dictates outcomes and the truly competitive gamer despises such things.

Ha. I was wonder if something like that is secretly going on. And it's not just in The Show. I've noticed it in other sports games too! I almost always pull off the win in a super tight one.

It started making me question if I'm really that good in crunch time or if the AI is programmed to let me win if it gets that close?

You likely focus more near the end of games and play better. Plus, the better player usually wins in this game. USUALLY, lol

I'd say perfects are about 80% instead of 85% successful compared to the last two years, so a bit worse.

There are 99 reasons it should happen, but only 1 reason is needed for it not to happen. I just would like an official word is all : )
