Based on the lack of captains this year, it looks like they are phasing them out. I really enjoyed the idea, but they haven't even attempted adding new Captains, let alone any specialty captains like previous years. This is a major disappointment honestly. I thought they would fine tune the captain cards, not completely abandon them.

I opened it on the website and broke the system...

So I didn't get a chance to play til Sunday night and I was in Bronze level 2. 400 was my rating. I played one game as assumed I'd have time Monday for more. I won that game and logged off and went to work.

Next day, WC is still going but I'd been dropped to the bronze 1 category. I didn't realize if til I looked at the rewards after my second game.

Did I miss something? Are we supposed to drop or did the rewards change Monday?

Backfoot Sliders is such a beautiful name. More people should name their kids that

Hear me out. If you have some of these cards P5, I was wondering if anyone else bought in to the notion of an Angels Team right now with the Wally Joyner and Jared Weaver Captains. I get that they only give 6 points with 15 cards, but you could easily add players like

Mike Trout Supercharged
Yoan Moncada
Jo Adell
Vladimir Guerrero
Chone Figgins
Jose Soriano (Supercharged)

And remember, you only need 15, so the entire team doesn't have to be Angels in order to boost those players...

Anyone else try this yet?

Played a Ranked Season game last night to try and climb the ranks, but after the game ended, I received the message The Show is servers are offline?? (Or something like that). I noticed that nothing counted for the game and everything from the record to the PXP was missing.. Has this happened to anyone else?

He does consistently throw over 100 miles per hour. So outlier makes sense because it makes his pitches more authentic.

Here is my Guess

David April
Billy Foolish
Michael Harris the 1st
Steve Jokes
Daniel Giggles

Or something like that

I haven't heard the first part yet about closing margins..... @onix_savage22_psn interesting

i know i will be called every name in the book, but my question is why would someone use bots in this game?

That is all I'm hearing these days, but in this game, stubs do not transfer, they cannot be sold, and to exploit the marketplace doesn't seem to make a lot of sense unless you could sell the entire account.

And I do get it, you could transfer stubs buy upselling a really cheap items or cards, but that seems like something SDS could actually monitor as cheating/exploiting...

Are we talking about actual bots? or just people trying to work the market with macros while they are away to get an advantage?
Are we talking actual bots, or people using scripts to play Ranked Seasons to get stats done?

I'm not saying this isn't an issue, but I am trying to get to the motivation for their actual use if it is anything other than what I mentioned above....

Now, let the roast begin

Dominic Canzone should have had a supercharged card.. Unless I missed it

In the past, Events is what I enjoyed most. Mostly based on the lack of time I have to play multiple Ranked Season games in a row. I honestly did not mind the win counter that was part of events to get to a specific reward either, but for some reason, they moved away from it.

Last year after they took that out, they quickly discovered that Events were absolutely pointless and really didn't serve any point other than maybe moving the multiplayer program along. They needed it to have relevance, but they didn't want to use the "win counter" again. So this is what they came up with.

Honestly, I don't mind it. I like the fact that events have meaning again, and their are actual goals to strive for. My only negative about it is the very quick turn around. 5 days is a very short time and if you are out of town for a weekend, it makes it more challenging to find time to hop on and complete the objectives.

I have a feeling though that these cards that people are missed through event programs will resurface later down the road, just not sure how.

The issue with Meter and most of the pitching options is you have to be really accurate. I used to use Analog pitching last year and it worked really well.. Even if it wasn't perfect, the program would be somewhat forgiving. This year, I feel that it has changed so much that unless it is almost perfect, the chances of it missing and going right down the middle are pretty high. This is so much so that I switched back to pinpoint..

Who knows if this is true or if we are just using really weak pitchers to start, but it does seem different

Is there anyway to alter or change the order that you see the information? I noticed that how I am hitting online and against the CPU with the card is the absolute last tab and I have to click all the way down to the bottom every time. This seems silly, especially when the tab right under attributes is where I can find the card... I would like to bring up the play stats to a closer level and wondering if they gave up the ability to modify the order... asking for a friend

They still don't count to your stats but do count towards pxp.

It is that time of year where legends are being revealed, so I have to ask... Do you think that MLB the Show has the top 10 legends of all time from your team in the game?

For example, I am a Mariners fan, so I would argue that our top 10 list would be

Ken Griffey Jr
Edgar Martinez
Jay Buhner
Randy Johnson
Ichiro
Felix Hernandez
Bret Boone
Alvin Davis
Jamie Moyer
Kyle Seager
Arod?

Out of your top 10 list, how many players are in the game..? This is all subjective, but still interesting to discuss. We lost Bret Boone and Buhner, but regained Seager.. and I have a feeling Ichiro will be back next year...

In the game 5/10
Used to be 3/10
Never 2/10

Please make other online modes playable this year...

Events had zero point
BR had zero point for most people
Which left only one mode left.. all roads led to RS... and I honestly don't enjoy playing 9 inning games exclusively because it is a time sink..

I have a feeling though with the quickening of the games that it my be a repeat of last year

It is not that we lost them last year, but the fact that we have lost so many greats, that I would rather have some of them back instead.

Ted Williams was gone for awhile before his return, but others like

Rogers Hornsby
Jimmie Foxx
Ty Cobb
Dave Winfield
Walter Johnson
Christy Mathewson
Fred McGriff
Mike Schmidt
Ernie Banks
Matt Williams
Fergie Jenkins
Mariano Rivera
Reggie Jackson

Some of these guys are what people think about when they think of baseball, so it sucks to have them removed.. And I do get it, they all cost money for their rights and some are more expensive than others, but my original point was that there are so many great people we have had and lost, that I would love to see return.

Some of these

I love seeing the new lists, but I always wonder which legends will not return. I feel every year we lose more good players than we gain. I hope that isn't the case this year.

Not really a fan.. But the worst one was by far, out of position players
