Analysis August Lightning for sure right?
And he's a switch hitter.
It's got to be a lock.

Just picked up the game a few weeks ago. Before I drop 40K with awful odds, who can I get from this flash pack?

If you place in weekend classic do you get your reward right away? I’m 99% sure I placed 6th but haven’t seen a reward

And if so, how are you progressing?
When the Buxton one launched, people seemed keen, although that collection was harder to complete which gave people more incentive to get it done.
Interested to see if people are interested or engaged in really long grinds like Buxton/De Vries and if they are, how they approach it.

Recently started playing on HOF in the Gauntlet mini season. HOF is a struggle. Started 6-2 and now 6-7. Guess I just need to keep practicing.

does anyone feel like their pci is way too lose and sensitive after the update today?

I went 6-0 and completed my final win for WC in Silver 2. Upon completion of the game I received my top of the leadership reward of a Vault Pack (to which I pulled Easter Mookie), but did NOT however receive my 2x Weekend Classic Packs.
This is my first time going 6-0 and I'm happy and all, but I still do want my earned packs. Is there anyone I can reach out to-to have this handled?
r/MLBTheShow • u/liveteamlux • 6h ago
Tedious quit outs during p4 and painstaking parallel watching was needed to complete this … but it simply had to be done for my GOAT.
r/MLBTheShow • u/No_Clue7528 • 19h ago
I’m so confused… does the leaderboard change constantly?? I won enough games to feel comfortable in 2nd on the board. Just checked it again and I don’t recognize a single name on the entire board and now I’m barely in the top 5 and could easily be out of top 10.. wtf is this new or a glitch??
r/MLBTheShow • u/Nickstank • 1d ago
Really hard to argue against PCA as the August Lightning, but he was already the Lightning player in June and has four other 90+ overall cards. Does SDS have the stones to drop a *6th* high diamond PCA in less than 6 months?!

This is actually absurd. When you get put into your weekend classic leaderboard group of 100. It should be those same 100 people the whole time. We shouldn’t be getting switched to a different leaderboard everytime we win a game. Was first on my leaderboard by 40 points this morning. Checked an hour later now I’m on a different leaderboard in 2nd place down by 30. Okay whatever guess I have to play some more games for Rollins. Win 2 more games which should in theory put me in first place again but nope, new leaderboard. This time I’m in 3rd place. So I am at a positive 180 rating change and have had to conquer 2 different leaderboards, now a third.
And I don’t want to come across like I’m bitching, I understand Rollins is gonna be a rare card so it takes a lot of grinding and winning games. That I’m completely fine with I actually have enjoyed the competition of trying to win a bunch of games this weekend classic. However, we should know who we’re going up against and not be guessing as to how much we need to be in 1st place.

What the title of the post says....
r/MLBTheShow • u/DuffleCrack • 1d ago
I’ve trialed MLBTS 26 and didn’t vibe with it and its UI over ‘24, but since we’re getting it free through PS+ tomorrow, we can at least get the game for free for those who haven’t bought it. I may force myself to do 1-3 years in franchise to see if I can stay into it… otherwise I can always just go back to ‘24.

Can anyone explain how every time I play one of the daily exhibition tournaments (26/PS5), my opponents can pitch perfectly painted pitches?
Every strike lands with a hair width of the ball on the line. No matter high, low, inside, perfect pitches every…single…pitch, every game.
r/MLBTheShow • u/GOtexas1 • 7h ago
Referencing another pitch-warping glitch, this time with Dustin May. Same kind of thing we saw with Michael King a while back, the ball visually warps mid-flight and the game forces a contact swing that shouldn't be happening based on what's actually being thrown.
Attached a screenshot showing a perfect PCI on the swing, but the exit velo still came out way low. That gap between a perfect read and a weak result is exactly what you'd expect if the pitch data being sent to the swing engine doesn't match what's visually rendered. This isn't a timing issue on my end, it's the pitch itself breaking the animation.
Disappointing how little testing SDS seems to put into this stuff before it ships, especially when so much of the reward structure is tied to competitive modes. If people are grinding comp modes for rewards, the pitch engine needs to actually be reliable. Bugs like this directly affect outcomes, not just visuals.
Mods — hoping this one stays up. I know there's been a lot of removals lately, but posts like this aren't meant to just complain for the sake of it. Most of us posting this stuff genuinely want the game to be in a better state and are trying to flag real issues so they get fixed.

So, I've been playing DD with The Show for the last 2 years. Last year I kept up with things til around mid-August, and really never touched the game again. This year, I've stayed on top of stuff but the content and my excitement is waning a bit.
And I was curious, if it would be fun to go back and revisit 25. I would have tons of programs to unlock and fun cards to play with, right? I assume the game kept providing content at least up through the World Series, if not longer.
Has anyone else done this? Is it still possible to get all the cards? Is the trading market still open?
Thanks for any help and or suggstions,

Hi I’m trying to complete the new threads collection to get the 99 Adley.. I might be wrong , but I thought someone told me there’s a way to complete a collection set with 2 cards less? How can I do that if it’s possible. Don’t have the stubs to buy the 2 remaining cards I need
r/MLBTheShow • u/Vrabels • 1d ago
I've had mixed results with it.
I find it helps me to remain more patient and focus on an individual zone.
I'm just wondering what everybody's feelings are about it. I'm not great at the game, The highest I have made it is 700.
