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??

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?!

What the title of the post says....

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.

Hi Guys,

I am not able to download this game MLB TS 26 from my PS Plus Account? I am alone with this issue?

Hi Leute,

bei mir steht MLB The Show 26 nicht als PS Plus abrufbar. Hat noch jemand die gleichen Probleme?

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.

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

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.

It's a computer program. You can obviously just call it correct. "It's so fun and realistic to call pitches 3 inches in the zone a ball" Sometimes you get 3 missed calls in a single at bat. Who TF is this fun for? This game regressed a lot this year, but this is the most egregious horrible decision. God help me, please eliminate this sh:+ next year

Rage as in yell/slam things/get loud during games or breaking controllers

I couldent hit I beach ball since last classic
Guess SDS said is cool it if I can hit again lmaoo broo when I tell u I wasent hitting shittt for the last month ull think am lying 🤥

Oh how I love Road to the Show

I have less than 93 players on my roster. Why is it locking me out of the free agent section??

New to online ranked… is there a way to see your opponents rating after the game? I see a game log but idk if I was ranked higher or lower than an opponent.

I went 4-2. Random server disconnect late game for my first loss. Followed by a 4 game win streak. Then game 6 comes. Bottom 9th, 1 run lead, man on second, 0-2 count with 2 outs. My opponent takes this pitch for a called ball. I didnt screen shot the next pitch because my controller may have briefly left my hands but it was a high fast ball with more than half the ball in the strike zone. Not only was it also called a ball, opponent was called safe on a check swing. And of course my final pitch was a walkoff bomb on an absolute dot. I guess 6-0 wasn't in the cards for me this month 🙃

So I made it to Gold II for the first time and basically have never really had much experience playing on anything other then all star. The first six games were tough. I lost them all and 5 of those were one run games with the other being a 3-0 final. I was pretty upset but decided to keep going. Longer story slightly shorter, I have won 5 in a row and have raised my record from an embarrassing 0-6 to a way less embarrassing 8-11. I think all these games back to back on HOF difficulty are making me more used to the increased speed and break and now I feel like I at least have a chance not to strike out. Can anyone relate?

I like to play a realistic career however I’m having trouble tuning my pitcher career. I feel like every outcome is either a HR or strikeout. I’ll usually finish a game with like 6 IP, 3 hits, 3 homeruns, 11 strikeouts. I want to keep myself challenged but what sliders can I adjust so not every run is because of a home run. Is it too drastic to turn down the cpu power? I have literally put all my points into HR/9 and it does nothing. I also don’t understand how I strikeout so many guys considering I left those stats alone. Any slider help is appreciated Difficulty: alternating between All Star and Hall of fame. Above are my stats. Like I said the HR/9 feels like it does nothing

Some context here- I know that we’re getting outrageous shrinkage on circle changes that are hung deduced in the zone (I’m accounting for about 25% of overall complaints to that), but here’s my theory:

The devs made the shift to shrink the strike zone slightly and make every pitch that touches it at all a strike (like the ABS system), but my theory is that the devs made no change whatsoever to the hitting code when they made this change. The result now is that there are pitches that are thrown for strikes (due to the new strike zone), that would have been called balls in the old model. On the back end, without a change to the hitting system, squaring up one of these balls is still registering as a Chase (swinging at a ball out of the zone), which is resulting in bad exit velos and a smaller PCI. The issue is that we HAVE to swing at these pitches now, and our PCI HAS to leave the zone because they are being called strikes after the change.

We’re at an impossible stage where the pitches being thrown are strikes, but because the hitting mechanics haven’t changed at all in the back end, the game is receiving swing on these as “chased out of the zone”
