1. Create an all Strikes mode- If anyone remembers the 2K games, there was an option to turn on all strikes where you couldn't physically throw a ball. Give the people this option in some online game modes if they want to. A lot of people are strapped for time and don't want to sit there taking 45 of the 100 pitches they see. Make people throw it in the zone and let people swing at everything.

2. Don't make the difficulty go to legend until someone reaches 1000+ rating, GOAT 1100+.
   I think a lot of people are huge fans of playing on HOF. The game is challenging but it's not a slug fest like AS, but not a 3-2 game on 5 hits like legend. The issue now is that HOF is only 700-900, so you only have limited games on HOF. I have no interest playing on legend, so I try to play only a few games of ranked a week so I don't get to 900 with 2 weeks left in the season and have to sit there striking out on legend for 2 weeks before I go back to HOF.

3. Make Weekend Classic count towards overall record- After you play your 6 games, it becomes casual mode basically. There's no incentive to winning other than a pack because it doesn't affect rating or record, so you get a bunch of people who once they get down 1-0, they just quit.

4. Fix the randomness- This goes without saying, but the game is way too random. When two guys who are close to a similar skill play, it comes down to who the game gives a a HR to on late timing hit or who the game lets hit a very early HR.

The content this year has been so so bad. Every drop gets worse and worse. The only usable players on anything above All-star are locked in chase packs. I've been using pretty much the same lineup since week 2. What a nightmare.

Anyone else getting the most random exit velos online the last few weeks? I just played a game where me and my opponent were a combined 6-26 on good timing swings. We both each had a perfect perfect foul ball to make things even better. It's an absolute disaster the last few weeks. Balls are being squared up and going nowhere while some swings are going out on "very early" swings on balls down and away.

You think a 40 contact Cal Raleigh is good?

You need every card in the game to get Rolen, Cal Raleigh is unusable with a 40 contact and the rest of the cards are awful. I've had the same dudes in my lineup for 6 weeks because all the new cards are unattainable or trash.

So I had an ACER XF270H and the screen just cracked. I'm looking to get a new monitor and which is the best for MLB the Show? It's pretty much the only game I play. Anyone have any suggestions?

@DanH35_XBL

Still? Even though it's 800 now to make WS?

@JTOD5_PSN

Got 60 regular packs and 20 Ballin packs from Weekend Classic. 0 diamonds.

They're never responding my man.

I'm not going to be home for a few days and was wondering what they reset my ranking to. I finished at 850ish. I know in the past they reset all World Series players to 700, but since 800 is now WS, I'm guessing they aren't doing that. Anyone see how they chose to do it this year? Really hoping to not have to play on All-Star and play 22-21 games with 25 hits for each team.

So rating changes but overall record stays the same?

I think the time has come boys: I'm Washed. The last few years I've been a WS player ( I play a lot so not that impressive) every season. I usually hit .360-.370 per season and hit well on HOF and ok on Legend. So far this year I'm horrendous. I hit more "very early" foul balls then follow it with a very late on the next pitch than anyone in history. I just moved to a new apartment so I'm holding out hope that it's the WiFi causing me to be trash, but that may just be a cope. In all seriousness, does anyone know if playing on 5 gHZ vs automatic makes a difference? I kept crashing when I had it set to automatic, set it to 5 gHZ, now I'm terrible. Could just be a cope though like I said.

@yankblan_PSN

Go ride your horses.

The only thing good about sets and seasons was that once you collected a ton of cards, you got one of the bosses, so it made the cards worth getting even if they were trash. SDS needs to bring that back because there's no point in doing some of these programs because the cards don't go towards anything. I don't want to collect a ton of pipeline cards for a card that is pretty much equal to all the cards I just collected. Bring back the reward for collecting 250 cards or whatever it was and bring back rewards for events.

@Jacky-Chan1_XBL

He's solid. Power isn't what I'd thought it'd be.

Anyone know if you can turn on names when fielding so I know who is who? Not sure why they got rid of the players names on defense.

I just moved in August and this is the first time I've played The Show in the new house. The last few weeks I've been randomly getting signed out of PS Network for about 2 seconds. Once I go to test connection everything is fine again. The issue is that I just tried playing my first ranked game and right on cue, it logged me out in the 2nd inning. I'm connected via WiFi that works well. It's not choppy so I don't know if that's the issue or what. I'm on the top floor so I can't run a hardwire through the entire house. Anyone have any suggestions before I lose my mind?

The number of groundballs in this game right now is outrageous. It's to the point where you should only throw sinkers at the bottom of the zone because the game won't let you hit it in the air. I just played someone who had the 100 HRs icon logo already and was hitting .400 with everyone on the team and held him to one run because I threw 99% sinkers at the bottom of the zone and got 1,000 ground balls.

I want to buy Seager LS card, but was wondering after tonight when it's available for everyone, will the prices go up or down? Am I better off waiting until later in the week?
