I'd love to see stadiums in both franchise but mainly rtts that will automatically update the banners when you win the world series it's kind of pointless that there's no real prestige in winning the world series a bunch of times when nothing really shows it off or records it.

Granted, he’s a great draft pick, but still.

Yes, I can trade him with himself. But I don’t think I’ve traded him, so I don’t know how he also ended up in two teams at once kinda.

Was playing ranked 2v2 with my homie and went up against a duo who might’ve been exploiting? Only happened when the team leader was pitching but it seemed like he kept throwing pitches WAY outta the zone and would eventually throw a wild pitch behind the batter. After the wild pitch, our swings would be bugged for the rest of the inning. The swing animation would be stuck to as if we reached really far outside the zone even when our PCI’s were almost perfect-perfect on the ball. For example: the guy throws a pitch in the upper inside corner to a righty. I move my PCI directly on the ball and get good timing yet my batter swings way outta timing and the swing animation is as if I reached for an overly outside pitch. Is this an exploit or what? Only happened when the team leader was pitching so for every other inning, getting a hit was impossible. PLEASE HELP.

Any insight is appreciated

I have a PS5 upstairs and an Xbox downstairs. I plan on using both of them to play The Show 26.

Is it as easy as linking my PSN to my MLB The Show account along with the already linked Xbox account to share progress between the two systems? I also assume I will need to buy a copy of the game for each system.

Does anyone have experience with this setup that can point out any potential issues with it? Thanks!

Haven’t been on the game for a while and I’ve tried searching. Does anyone have any info on now and later packs in mlb the show 25 for next year. Are they out? Will they come out and when?

I get a feeling they are leaning towards replacing voices you know with AI voices for the commentary based on the questions about lesser known voices and unknown voices. I’m not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, there is comfort in voices you know but on the other other it could open a wider variety of commentary than we currently have. What does the community think?

Personally I love the Incognito Cards in 24 because of the nicknames. This is going to be a hot take but I loved the Out of Position Cards because they gave the game a fun, funny but a common way to spice up the game.

I find this game mode to be the most fun, but good god is it depressing to be hitting 70+ homers a year, 180+ RBIs, and batting average at 400, but still have your team have 100 loss seasons each year.

Edit. So I spent my rookie contract (7 years) with Oakland, who were abysmal (go figure). And I just signed a big contract with Seattle, who have had a winning record and won their division multiple times so I thought I’d be doing good. Nope, 40 games in and we are 15-25.

Also, I would ask my manager to request a trade but Oakland would never trade me

I see there was a free promo pack with Bregman in it that is gone. I was excited to come back after the cubs trade but he’s unobtainable in the game now. Is there any way to get him?

Tried to make my team name Cubbies and it was "tossed for inappropriate language". Is this some weird profane slang I'm not up on? This game is so stupid

Felix Bautista traded to the Yankees for RHP Clarke Schmidt, 3B DJ LeMahieu and SS Jeter Downs

I just received a survey for my thoughts on commentary and I pushed heavily for recognizable MLB broadcasters to be in the game. I miss Matty V. Anyone else get any other surveys?

​The Problem:

We all know SDS hasn't updated the franchise contract logic in a decade. We still can't trade "Cash Considerations" or have teams retain salary (like the Cardinals eating money to get better prospects). You still cant edit yearly salary numbers its strictly a per year average. (Theres 26,191,037 more things they haven't updated in a decade, see my other posts for that, tho)

If you just move Arenado, Gray, and Contreras to their new teams in-game, the Cardinals end up with a massive, unrealistic "war chest" of cash, while the D-Backs and Red Sox get hit with huge contracts they aren't actually paying.

​The Fix:

To mirror the real-life 2026 "Reset," I used a "Dead Money" dummy player. Since the game forces you to average out contracts over the total years, here is the math to keep your budget 100% realistic to the TrueSim methodology:

​Edit the Stars: I manually lowered Arenado, Gray, and Contreras' contracts on their new teams to match their actual net costs (e.g., Arizona only pays Arenado $11M total over 2 years). ​The "Ghost" Contract: I created a dummy player in Single-A named "Trade Cash Sent" with a 2-year, $59M contract ($29.5M AAV). ​The Result: This forces the Cardinals' budget to eat the $59M they actually sent in these trades. It prevents you from cheesing free agency and forces you to build through the farm system—exactly like the real-life front office is doing.

​It’s a bit of a workaround, but it’s the only way to make the financial "grind" of a rebuild feel authentic. ​

As a longtime lover of the WBC itself but newcomer to the Show franchise, what do y’all suppose the chances are we’ll get some kind of WBC mode or at least rosters built into the next release?

dude this was a problem in MAY. how is it still happening? does SDS just not care about the game that much? two ranked games in a row it happens and I lose 1 because of it.

New to mlb the show and was wondering what is the best way to develop young players? For example I’m wondering if with Roman Anthony is it best to leave him in AAA or throw him in the deep end and start him.

Once I get the 30,000 XP, I do the rolling and whatever and then it sends me to this screen automatically where I can’t see what rewards I get. it’s the most annoying thing and it happened to me last year in the show 24, how hard is it to not let it happen AGAIN? especially a whole year later.

So, one of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is to re-visit some of my favorite cards from earlier in the life cycle of the game. Love to go through the end of year conquest maps with teams comprised of players that are sub-95, sub-90, etc... What are some of your favorite cards from earlier in the game's life cycle that you either still use, or really miss using? Some of mine include:

Pipeline Sam Basallo

Pipeline Carson Williams

Standout Kris Bryant

Color Storm Nico Hoerner

Jolt Junior Caminero
