We were talking about this year's game, and this year's game has been a major disappointment. Like many parts of the game it's recieved no attention from SDS. they could have released Griffey, Sr/ or Griffey Jr Reds card, a davey concepcion. The Rays are an expansion, I don't keep spreadsheet of cards released in whatever year. I just know what disrespect looks like. Without the 1869 Red Stockings and their barnstorming Baseball would look very different.

I play this game to grind my theme team offline to P5, not to buy stubs or rip packs. But trying to build a competitive mission squad for the oldest franchise in professional baseball has become an exercise in frustration this year due to the blatant major-market and coastal bias at SDS.

Let’s look at the Conquest maps. If your team isn't the Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, or Cardinals, you are essentially an afterthought. The Reds are practically confined to their mandatory stronghold on the USA - Central map. Meanwhile, the developer favorites get continuously recycled into every promo, historic, and event map released.

But the real insult is the Legends and Flashbacks distribution. This one is personal for me—my great-uncle is Harry Craft, a member of the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and the center fielder for the 1940 World Series championship team. When you have family ties to that kind of legacy, it’s infuriating to see how the developers treat the franchise. The Reds have the longest history of any baseball team, with roots going back to 1869. That history, let alone the Big Red Machine era, should guarantee a massive, top-tier roster of historical cards. Instead, if you look at the National League, the Reds have some of the fewest legends available. The ratio of Diamond Dynasty cards to actual years of franchise existence is abysmal. The Cubs and Cardinals get flooded with premium historical cards and juiced prospect ratings, while legitimate Reds talents like Sal Stewart and Chase Burns are chronically overlooked or stuck with lower-tier ratings.

And this blind spot isn't just an NL problem. Look at the American League with the Minnesota Twins. Here is a franchise with a deep, rich history stretching all the way back to 1901 as the original Washington Senators, yet they are routinely treated like a secondary expansion team in content drops while the coastal elites get endless attention.

Baseball is built on its history and fundamental mechanics. It’s well past time the developers started respecting the actual legacy of these historic franchises instead of just pandering to the same three or four major markets year after year.

This would have been a great opportunity to release A Pete Rose card. He broke the Hits record on 9/11 and have a program to earn players with questionable legacies... Joe Jackson, Hal Chase, Eddie Cicotte. Just saying not everything needs to be about the Yankees and the Mets. Have you forgotten that DC has also been deeply affected that day?

pick obscure minor leaguers

If you hit the max, just edit existing players and change their names/appearance

Is there a Joe Oliver card to hit a double off him and go up 2 games to none in the world series, asking for a friend

@IrishFist412_MLBTS yes, Andy van slyke or a kevin Mitchell would be amazing, ditto on will Clark or Pedro guerrero.

Hoping for any of the following Joey Votto, Chris Sabo, Johnny Bench 99 or a Reds Paul O'Niell or Reds Dave Parker... dream cards Tom Browning or Jose Rijo

What's up SDS did someone forget to do thier job today?

Just bring back sounds of the show, where you could upload walk up songs, strike out, home run and celebration music, even crowd chants and upload your own music... it was awesome, also make diamond dynasty so you can disable the DH.... dream change six or nine inning mode on mini seasons

3 games but should I sell my 3 rewards, or is there a point to collecting them

What's the button sequence to take steroids. Power swing plus r2

@MycoSynth-Valde-_MLBTS me too

I was playing a miniseasons game and david Ortiz ran all the way from firstbase to the rightfield fence like 270 feet to make a leaping catch while clemente just watched him..
It was awesome and tragic all at the same time. I'm pretty sure Ortiz has never run that far.

@JasonAEMales_PSN weaver was a phenomonal player, a defensive wizard more deserving to be in the game than Jackson, Jackson took 5K to throw the series. Weaver just knew some guys weren't playing on the level and got banned for not telling Comiskey about it. It's highly doubtful Comiskey would have believed him.

I save after every change and my stadium still isn't 'finished'

I don't want compensation, would like to get an idea on when it will be fixed.

has anyone had the crashing issue in SC with PS5 pro?

I play on legend, with no DH and I agree 7 8 and 9 must hit .800 against me.

My field is Reds Field at monument park, it has a franchise and DD version in the vault. User victoryphoenix
