I'm a sports video game collector, so I generally buy all sports games that release on all major consoles. Thanks for the info though. I do have separate gamer tags on each console, but they are both linked to the same TheShow.com ID that I am using here.

If I buy both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X MVP Editions, can I double dip on the rewards/stubs/packs for the same MLB The Show account? Like what I want to know is do I get the 10 MLB The Show packs, 10K stubs, etc. twice? Also the MVP Edition gives you 2x the daily login bonus, so if I have the game on both consoles, would I in effect get quadruple (4x)daily login bonus?

No. Because you can only be logged into one account at a time.

Last year, I used the same DD team on both Xbox and PlayStation. This game is supposed to support cross-console progression, and I already have my PS5 and Xbox accounts linked to my TheShow profile. I guess there is no point in getting the MVP edition on both consoles.

@ikasnu_psn said in When did MLB The Show First come out with Steelbooks?:

Iirc 15 was the first year.

Thank you, I can't find any Steel Book Edition from before The Show 15. I guess I do have them all.

@ikasnu_psn said in SDS not gonna lie, you guys flopped:

The anime cover is imo a perfect representation for Ohtani being the coverboy. It literally screams Japan, if anything the anime cover should have been the standard.

I'm by no means into the Anime scene whatsoever, but I too agree this cover fits Ohtani's theme.

I thought they weren't doing a Collectors version this year? Do you mean the MVP Edition, or the Collector's Edition (that usually came with a hat)?

@tangojuliet24 said in Physical MVP Edition - No hat?:

Did they ever give a reason? Is there another version (collector’s edition) coming out at a later date?

SDS FAQ page...First question in the MVP Edition section!

It's still sad. I have each hat displayed with the Steelbook on my shelf. It was a nice collection. I love The Show 22's Steelbook look this year, but without the hat to go along with it, I am leaning towards playing it with Game Pass.

I have been collecting this game with the Steelbook Edition for a few years now. I have every version of the Steelbook since MLB The Show 15, but I can't seem to find the earlier versions of this game with the Steelbook. Is MLB The Show 15 the first year they came out with a Steelbook? I couldn't find any information on this online.

I'm just sad about there not being a Physical Collectror's edition that comes with a physical hat. I was collecting these.

I'm disappointed in there being no hat as well. It was the reason I looked forward to buying the physical MVP edition. With no hat, I might as well just play this game on Xbox Game Pass for no additional cost to me.

RBI Baseball at this point seems like a better option.

There was a guy who posted a week ago that RBI was better. We laughed him off these forums.

I can safely say he got the last laugh.

Na not really.

Well one game you can actually play 24/7 and the other you can't almost nightly and weekends.

What all offline modes you can play 24/7 nice try

There are no "offline" modes in the Show 21. Even RTTS and MTO require a connection to the server to get credit for progress. And even so, if half of your game is unplayable, it means

Couch h2h exhibition and franchise are offline what are you talking about no offline modes?

Stop being a trolling shill

Game Pass isn't free...it's a subscription service that I have paid real money for. Same with Netflix, I pay them monthly. I have just as much right to complain about or praise a game I paid for on Game Pass as any other consumer does.

Resident Evil Village is out soon, and I know that I'm going to be out the door when that comes along.

@brandonm13x_psn said in 10 reasons why this game makes me miserable:

in every aspect im sick of this game 3 weeks in. im tired of getting my hopes up to be let down every day. they had a whole extra month and the only excuse people give you on this website is covid. They aint making a movie, they're making a video game which all involves computers not being in person affects how a game can be made. So stop feeding the BS saying covid's the reason they can't help support and they can't work as quick and efficient because it's straight up not the case. they're caught like a deer in headlights and have 0 clue what to do or what's wrong. 3 weeks deep we still have issues. just sad man just so sad

It's been like this with all businesses and corporations. Using the global health issue as a built in excuse to cover up their own deficiencies and ineptitude. I don't let it fly anywhere I go now. If your business hasn't pulled their /bleep/ together by now, it's their own fault. Whenever I get the "global health issue" excuse told to me on the phone or at a place of business I always reply "Other businesses have had more than ample time to adapt to the new way of doing business, why hasn't your business?" If you are still willing and able to accept my money, then you are still responsible to providing me the product or service. If you aren't able to do that, then don't take my money either.

@whiskeyone_psn said in Cheating in this game:

This is just Xbox right? Same reason I turned off Cross-Play in COD when I still played that cartoon BS, because all the cheaters are on Xbox. Lame AF!

Actually the video is him using it on PS. Haha I guess Xbox gets blamed for everything

Xbox does get blamed for everything. PlayStation users think all Xbox players just play Madden, COD and Fortnite and drink the mountain dew and eat zesty cheese Doritos. I have both consoles, and have always played on both, but I honestly find PS users tend to be the most pent up shills.

@shortybrain_psn said in Worst Game Experience Ever!:

I've spent more money on this game than I'd like to admit, and I can't even play! This is the worst product I've ever invested in. Sever Errors every morning and night. Just Insane. I want my money back!

So glad that I only invested time into this game and no money (Game Pass user). I've played this series of game for over a decade, but I had a feeling this year's version wasn't going to pan out well. I was going to buy this game physically if it actually was a good experience, but now I'll just use the money I would have spent on this game on Resident Evil Village instead.

This game will effectively be out of my mind once RE8 releases. I'm a huge baseball fan, and have played The Show game for over a decade, but I just can't find the will to play this game anymore. I'm lucky that this year I got the game on Game Pass and didn't put any of my own money into the game.

I find it comical how everyone comes in here yelling saying “don’t make it political” and those yelling are the ones bringing up politicians. I just want SDS to stand for values they put on the table. They’re pro BLM and aren’t shy about it. They’re pro LGTBQ+ and aren’t shy about it (again, you can add ally flags to custom stadiums), but they still put out extra cards of abusers just because they’re good at baseball. It’s that simple. I’m not trying to cancel anything. I’m just trying to seek consistency here. Were they apolitical, I wouldn’t have started this thread. But quite simply, stand up for all or stand up for none. Ask the dev team to give us a card exchange and lock the topic @Collin_SDS_PSN because the loud ones have consumed this thread and pulled it well beyond the boundaries of the discussion.

The problem with consistency is that these issues are complicated. Once you weigh into the waters of moral and political issues it becomes messy... One big reason guys like Michael Jordan and TW stayed out of it.

You mention BLM for example, I'm sure SDS, you, most people believe in the slogan, the idea.. but the reality and background of the founders, who just happen to be padding their pockets with sucker corpo cash is much different... https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/the-agenda-of-black-lives-matter-is-far-different-from-the-slogan/

Right now the popular thing to do, both for individuals and business seemingly is to signal to everyone how morally just you are... Some of us have been around long enough to recognize it's all an act, and people are getting their strings pulled dancing around like puppets.

Stop with the cancel culture BS, He hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law so just relax already. It’s just a card in a game If you’re that concerned don’t use the card.

It's not "cancel culture", it's "consequence culture". Major difference. People are being held accountable for their actions like any sane society.
