The Issues with this year's game are staggering

The Uniform/Stamina/Logo/Stat glitches is Miniseasons have never been addressed.

All of the menus are very slow, especially in Showdown.

The removal of 67% of the cornerstone program

If you play miniseasons 7 of your 8 opponents are stacked rosters

If you play a 7-game miniseason, you need to run multiple seasons to collect all of the rewards. If you play 28-game miniseasons, most of the achievement XP milestones are removed in this year's game.

There is no repeatable miniseason XP reward for winning the championship.

The one miniseason that let you receive the downgraded championship bundle without playing all teams with the best players in the game had that reward removed because it was easier for SDS to remove it than to actually fix the numerous issues with Miniseasons.

The uniform reward in WBC miniseason should be sellable; having 15 each of each WBC uniform is pointless.

Repeatable conquest maps where you need to play 8 to 10 games for one pack that results in 1000 stubs is pointless, or one where you receive nonsellable rewards is even worse.

The utter lack of releasing cards for franchises that are not the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Cardinals, Cubs, or Dodgers

It feels as if SDS is tone-deaf to all of its customers' issues. It may be too late for SDS to restore customer faith. A huge step would be to give a 1300 XP reward for each miniseason championship(100 points for each win; as the season is 7 games, the playoffs a minimum of 6), 700 XP for the WBC Miniseason championship, as it's only 7 games

Release a Conquest map like last year's draft or the 3 map where you play 5 or 3 games and receive a reward that is actually worth something.

Last year I played the game all the way until the new game was released this year. But the constant reminders for SDS about how little regard they have for their customers is getting really old.

Agreed, I played the WBC mini season once, recieved no reward before I read about the glitch. SDS needs to ban those who used it more than 5 times, I would say two but that might be excessive. I just want my one WBC reward miniseason reward, I usually play the wbc miniseason once a day, then play whatever singleplayer rewards come up during the week. The game should take all of the cheaters seriously and treat them like they deserve... Ban them for the rest of 2026. They are what prevents me from playing multiplayer quite honestly.

for this game it's simple. I love baseball. I don;t really get into the multiplayer modes. I love franchise, stadium creator, miniseasons and many of the programs, conquest was great this year. It's my first year really doing diamond dynasty.

There are far fewer ways to earn XP this year. Last year, we had 3 cornerstone programs per inning, and miniseason had many more ways to earn XP. If you are an offline player, it is nearly impossible to earn the 500,000 XP required to get an inning boss. Playing the WBC miniseasons gets old. Please fix this or give us a week of double xp and pxp....or maybe even triple

As an old dude I just play multiplayer long enough to get a few of the multiplayer rewards, no thought to ever being able to achieve the ranked rewards and such. I play with directional hitting and think it's sad people wait to play players they can beat up on, I'm happy in franchise and offline DD where I can accumulate enough stubs to buy any cards I want. By the way I still intentionally hit chase utley and would throw at yadier molina if he was in the game this year.

I would love to play in a division of other 50+ players, with no power swinging allowed. especially if we could add take out slides, arguing with umpires, and running over defenders who block basepaths, you know real baseball.

Dibble was the middle guy(8th Inning) Charlton and Myers were the cornerstones of that trio, would be awesome if we could get cards for the other two. A Tom Browning perfect game card would be awesome aswell.

buy the game, start modding. import walkup songs (recreate sounds of the show)

@TheGoaler_PSN I want to be able to assign very random walk up songs, and crowd chants, having cheers and jeers was awesome

Why exactly are PC players cheaters? As a long-time Madden modder, I believe modding makes the game better. Simple things like walk-up songs, custom graphics, and simple mods like weather generators, replacing Kaiju with an actual usable feature in stadium creator, maybe even bring in more classic stadiums. Having it on PC with a robust modding community will only help. I am a long-time MLB The Show player... I even played MVP Baseball, and the mods in that game were amazing. PC users deserve a good baseball game.

25 was a great game.

Here are my thoughts

I played less the 25 online(multi-player) games in 25

I completed Every Conquest Map, Completed mini-Season 50 Times, finished every program, and P5ed Every Reds player in the game, even the ones I cussed at Tito everytime they played in a real game, so yeah I enjoyed the game.

I quit doing Diamond Quest after the Summer program was released, Showdown was just irritating to me.

Here is my feedback

Expand Miniseasons, for longer games if the user likes playing 6 or nine inning games. Even consider adding more teams to the GBL

Make user created stadiums available to play in Miniseasons, and not just the cookie cutter stadium, ball parks with 'unique' dimensions

In miniseasons, your own progress should not be used against you. If you work to P5 a player, if that player appears on another team, he should not have that progress. Or simply make it so cards can only appear on one team. Fix the Championship celebration when you win the first round of the playoffs; there is a celebration, but nothing when you win the championship.

More pitching moments.

More diversity of teams in conquest

I don't care what you do in showdown, as I find it irritating; by extension, Diamond Quest is irritating because of the showdown integration.

Bring back sounds of the show and put some resources into Franchise.

Fix Stadium Creator.

Leave Team Affinity Team Based, I can't be the only one who wanted their favorite teams' players but doesn't care about their rivals.

this is the problem last year each cornerstone program had a possible xp gain of 10K XP, The classicmode miniseason had a total of 20K pxp for the win mile stones 5-12-18-23-28 and a repeatable gotal of 5K Xp for each championship. So that is 20K fewer for cornerstone programs and no repeatable XP for the miniseason. For instance I have won the wbc miniseason 50(atleast) times so even for the seven game miniseason if they had a repeatable reward of 500XP that would be a total of 25K XP. And quite honestly I've probobly won it alot more than 50 times. so that is leaving 45K XP on the table. This is what is making offline players completely frustrated. please either triple the xp for the one cornerstone you seem to release per inning program or go back to three per program and restore the fair goals to miniseasons with a repeatable xp reward. Also any conquest that has as a reward that is unsellable cards is not really repeatable, it's not worth the time required to play unless you give a repeatable xp goal or sellable cards like the draft map or the number 3 map last year.

I finished the live series by playing the game, not exploiting a bug, so I think it's extraordinarily lame to penalize those of us who didn't exploit a glitch by just looking the other way and forcing SDS's hand to take away the number one repeatable way to earn packs. It's just another form of cheating. I am an NMS player, but followed the rules, but now I can't just earn 11 regular packs and one ballin in just 90 minutes of game time.

I can't believe they're using a pitcher off the bench. they must be saving their other players for later(no matter what pinch hitter you use)

SDS please fix this get the one intern that you have dedicated to franchise and get/him/her to fix this.

@Doppelganger39_PSN
Yes, 2K and Ea were both PC options, the modding community is still putting out EA updates.

I completed the Reds to 100%, all the other teams to the finest voucher, lately I just play the draft conquest an occasional diamond quest to sell the rewards nd hope someday they'll add more TA rewards.

I've noticed a lag, both devices are wired. ANy suggestions?

@nymets1987_PSN I've gotten andrew chaffin atleast 7 times, I avoid the new threads 2.0 packs.

@yankblan_PSN thanks, thats what I suspected just trying to play from a different place in my house

be persistent, double lead and a good jump, you'll get there. the pitcher throwing a ball helps, try the steal on an advantage count (0-2 1-2)
