Would absolutely love a 99 Story Milestone 30/30.

Did it yesterday. 30 stolen bases on 30 attempts.

Let's do it!

SDS told one of content creators this

Whether I believe that or not depends on the content creator because it is not like SDS to leak that type of info.

What info?

@Dolenz_PSN said in Moonshot 2.0 Reveals:

I found this interesting

In the years 2021 - 2024 Ozzie received 10 Cards

9 of those 10 have 99 fielding. Only his Rookie version did not have 99 fielding. It had 87

This year we have gotten 2 Ozzie Smith cards with 87 and 85 fielding

Yes. But one is a low Doamond and the other is a "make believe" card that represents hitting bombs.

How many homeruns has Ozzie hit in his career?

@Squid_Adams_PSN said in Exposed!:

Just popping in to be the devil's advocate here. I don't know about how long he's been making these kinds of posts and won't fault him for it... but here's one thing I would suggest for the makers of the game. Instead of expecting players to come to San Diego, why doesn't SDS go meet with the players where they're at, and get updated face scans there? I'm sure people will list some logistical things, but I think the number 1 reason is SDS isn't interested in giving players quality of life things / updates that show they care about the general user experience. Now, on the other hand... if they could use the new face scan to try and sell us another 99 card, I could see them being interested. There's gotta be some monetary gain or they won't bother.

Could also be that until they join the MLBPA they cant have their likeness scanned.

IE: Jacob Misiorowski. He said that he should've been added before the game released. But Jacob wasn't called up until later.

Cant release a likeness when the player hasn't signed a contract.

I don't get it. I can't complete these moments. I'm getting perfect perfect power swings with pci just under bottom half of the ball and they are being caught on the warning track. Been at it for 45 minutes and only have the veteran aparicio moment done and got that on an inside the park home run.. something feels off

Directional. Hold up and Power Swing.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL said in A joke:

That's not a joke.

A Cubs fan, a Cardinals fan, a Red Sox fan, and a Yankees fan are climbing up a mountain, arguing about who has the most loyal fans.

When they get to the summit, the Cubs fan decides he’s going to end the argument once and for all. He yells “This is for the Cubbies!” and throws himself off the side of the mountain.

Not to be outdone, the Cardinals fan says “This is for the Cardinals!” and he throws himself off the mountain too.

The Red Sox fan thinks for a moment, yells “This is for EVERYBODY!” and pushes the Yankees fan off the mountain.

P.S. We need more Yankee cards.

Beat me to it!

How come nobody ever makes a post saying that the game screwed over their opponent?

Is he still the best SS in this game?

2. Will never happen. To many cheese Created Stadiums to use to pad stats.

Or sit on the Choice packs and wait for the. Moonshot 2.0 Program.

There's a high chance that a Choice Pack will be involved in the program.

You can then see if those packs pop up in the ones you have now

And, from what I've heard is that the Wheel Atrribute and the Lineup Freeze bugs are still in the game.

6 months and counting.

Collections?

And yet another thread that turned into name calling and vulgarity laced replies.

Can tell its the weekend.

Any chance this can be rectified? @SDS_JoeK_PSN

@AppleLemon560_MLBTS said in More Legends and Stadiums - more Storylines mode:

I might be alone, but I'd donate so much cash to SDS if they would deepen the legend pool. You'd think that MLB could lend some assistance and encourage a big group of players to let the game show them. This is the only serious MLB game out there. There are so many mid-tier legends that the fan base would love to see in the game, especially players from the last 25 years. Same thing with stadiums - why are we still sitting on the same group of stadiums that we've always had, when there are so many more? Can't MLB help out with getting the rights to a lot of the historical places?

The Storylines mode is so short right now. There's so much baseball history that could be covered. You could have a storyline for every year from 1950 on - based on who won the World Series that year, or interesting events that happened that year. I don't even think you'd need the rights for the players if you just used a generic image (generic tall Hispanic player or something) - the stats and information is public info, and could be used.

This game could cover so much baseball history, and show off so much about it. You'd think MLB would want to promote that as much as possible.

I loved the Jeter Storyline last year.

Wish they would do more like that.

@Dolenz_PSN said in You Never Fail to Disappoint, SDS:

Players: We want a Stadium Creator
Devs: Here's a Stadium Creator

Players: We are tired of the same commentary team get new ones
Devs: Introduces a New commentary team

Players: We don't want my Ballplayer injected in Diamond Dynasty
Devs: Okay, You can no longer use your created player in DD

Players: We are tired of waiting until November to get the cards we actually want to play with
Devs: Here's sets and seasons

Players: We hate sets and seasons go back to power creep
Devs: Power creep is back

Players: we need more game modes
Devs: Here's Diamond Quest and Weekend Classic

Now, I am not going to say that they were wildly successful in their efforts and they may not have addressed yours or my concerns but they have made changes based on player feedback.

What I have learned over the years is no matter which group of players they listen to or whatever changes they may make another subgroup of the player base will be upset about it.

This 1000%

@AttemptedKhan_PSN said in New Chase Pack card - Chipper Jones is Excellent:

@Dolenz_PSN Horrible odds to get him. Opened 8 chase packs and north of 400 packs and nothing.

Could've just bought him for that much.

@SoldierHill71_PSN said in Someone explain plz:

So i been getting disconnected from the servers constantly, the odd part is mlb the show 25 is the only game I get disconnected from. However I used my phone Hotspot and connected my ps5 and played 9 straight games on mini seasons without being disconnected. Then I switched back to my home internet and in the first game of mini seasons bam I get disconnected again. So someone please explain why this is happening. Again. This is the only game I get disconnected from.

Who is your ISP?

@dap1234567890_PSN said in "CODE":

I got double diamonds in my pack...let's see...double purple...LS Mr Smile and a cheater now in Boston. But over 6.5K of stubs in the pack was better than expected.

Who?

@DrPoopShooter_XBL said in SDS has to be joking rn:

I actually don't understand how they can be so out of touch with the community and release some of these cards. Like we JUST GOT a 99 Yankees catcher and they immediately release another when there were so many other options available. The Yankees bench at this point is better than several teams best available players meanwhile some teams don't even have decent pitchers. Mega L

Malice!

In a single word, if a single word can ever explain something complex, that word is malice. SDS is what society gets when any group of people are allowed to form a monopoly. The pressures for such a group to then become imbued with a sense of self-entitlement is strong, very strong. In fact, it is rare for such a group holding a monopoly to resist such pressures, and even a great many corporations who enjoyed monopoly status, that were owned by men who overall possessed above average integrity and morality, succumbed in some manner to the temptation.

SDS isn't led by men who any longer carry with them strong senses toward customer service. Instead, they are led by men who believe they hold the monopoly, and we can either buy their game or not, they couldn't care less. They believe they will sell enough units each year to make the necessary minimum annual profit payment to Sony, distributed through Sony Interactive Entertainment, and by that keep their jobs.

Sony doesn't care whether the customers are happy. Sony only cares to see that they receive their annual profit payment.

SDS making that margin payment then is free to do what it pleases. Allow their employees free rein to develop what they please to keep them happy then becomes vastly more important than developing what the customers say will make them happy. If happiness is mutually gained, then it is a bonus, but the primary goal was to keep the employees happy, not the customers.

You see good old fashioned competition keeps this sort of narcissistic mentality firmly out of the board room, because of self-preservation if nothing else. The knowledge that unhappy customers can go elsewhere (to the competition) keeps these sort of me-first concepts at bey.

You get these cards because they are the cards SDS wants to release. They have the player model already made for the player, so three or four copies of the same player in different cards is less costly than is producing a new card for a player whose model isn't already present in the game. And your employees don't have to work as hard or as long. Your happiness wasn't nearly as important as increased profits and again, if you are unhappy, they don't care, because you have no other MLB licensed baseball video game to choose from!

Think about this the next time someone tells you state ownership of production is a peachy keen cool concept!

Free enterprise only exists where competition is present, where the option to start up a competitive business is freely available and freely happening. Until SDS gets that competition handed to them upside their heads, you won't see any improvements in how they operate, and they think you should be gracious they have implemented as many new things as they do, because truthfully, they didn't feel like they had to, not ever!

Imagine having this much "hate" for a company; yet you still visit their forums.

Am I correctly interpreting what I read in the Game Summary?

Those packs can be a Choice pack (New Threads 2, etc) or one of the Players you could unlock in the other MS paths?

Like I can just play this one and still unlock the Sig Series Johan Santana?
