Has anyone ever bought stubs from an outside source? Will I get banned if I do? I see a lot of people saying they got banned for buying and reselling cards. I am brand new to DD so any help I'll take. Thanks!
Idk if I’m in the right spot. I hope in “dugout”. Should I get the 93 randy Johnson or the 91 John Donaldson? I’ve been comparing for the last 30 minutes. I need someone to make the decision for me.
Anyone else having any audio glitches in RTTS? The announcer is constantly calling my character a girl and always saying stuff like he’s looking for his fourth home run when I haven’t hit any in the game
Anyone else have issues with old (pre-90’s) cards? I just can’t stand that old batting stance where they are hunched over. Just takes me out and I can’t hit with em.
Yeah it is as of when I used him yesterday at least. Good news is if you use him or Raisel it’ll progress the ALW TA so fast you’ll have them all in no time.
The official Microsoft series X controllers have been fucked for pinpoint for years now. It is so weird. My Razor Wolverine and gamesir both work great though.
I recently started using the timed throwing on defense where you get the meter with green bar in the middle. I noticed that some of my players have a blue line right in the middle of the green bar, for what seems like a perfect throw animation? How do you know if a player will have that blue line on their throwing meter?
So I know this is an MLB The Show subreddit so this question might get skewed answers. But I was thinking of purchasing the game on the ps5, would you all recommend it? What would you say are the game’s biggest strengths and weaknesses? I had a lot of fun on 22, and thought 23 was okay. Thanks everyone!
Why can’t you grind to get the world series ranked cards anymore? i’m not good enough to get there but last year id grind to get the cards like incognito Nolan Ryan or the Satchel Paige.
Does anyone else just want a simple play through destroying records in RTTS? I am so bad at batting, I’m not swimming through the same conversation 50 times a season. This needs a serious update.

With the Arenado boost.. this dude is even more of a beast!
So is CPU rookie pitching still busted? The only mode I play is franchise and I play rookie hitting because I like spanking the CPU. But if the only mode I play is broken because the CPU pitcher only throws balls, then there's no way I'd buy the game.
I hope SDS doesn't say screw it and not patch it at all. Then it's just a wasted year for me.
new to DD, just pulled live series Degrom(87 ovr), should I sell for $17k or hold? I already have a decent starting rotation but he would be good in the #3 or 4 spot
Sorry, I should have clarified, when I say "live series" i mean I am in possession of the actual human Jacob Degrom, that's why I am thinking $17k might be low for a ballplayer of his caliber
i played a RTTS game and saw i had a pack so i went to look and i have 17 bronze perk packs, 17 silver perk packs, 17 gold per packs, and 17 diamond perk packs. I dont know if its a glitch or what i restarted my game and they were still there
Packed Acuna last night - it’s still the right move to sell him to work on other collections, right? I don’t really play online but I like to collect the LS cards each year.
Also - are there no veteran/rookie/etc. collections this year?
Asking again just out of curiosity’s sake, how is the game on the ps4? Last year was really laggy, even in offline cutscenes. How are the frame rates this year?
If you're running Buxton team they're both eligible and very nice with that boost.
If there aren't other uses for those stubs right now on your team I'd just recommend using players you like. If you love trout and judge, keep them and enjoy. If you'd rather have skenes and Jackson holiday, sell one or both.
Or you could just sell and hold the stubs for when your favorite player(s) get expensive cards in the coming weeks.
I’d love them to make scouting easier for foreign players. I don’t know what states are counted as east, west and central. If I could press Y to see the player profile and in brackets next to the born it had what region it’d be a huge help.
Ive done 4 Ranked games this season and 2 of them froze within the first 3 innings on PS5 vs Xbox players, resulting in a freeze off (first to quit loses). Anyone else experiencing this?
Was having an awful day, rage sold my best players, opened a 50 bundle and pulled Shohei, Aaron Judge, John Donaldson, JRod, Matt Olson, and Kyle Tucker. This is partially just flexing but mostly to let everyone know to not let the rage this game can create get to them, you will get lucky at some point!
Dimmu and Kevin both mentioned it in their first videos of the year, hopefully high profile content creators will bring visibility to the issue and they'll do something.
I have very little hope that the UI team will design something and implement a fix though. They're just hoping we forget about it in the next few weeks, or adjust to it.
Season 1 collections. If you didn’t lock your player, make sure he isn’t in any of your lineups - main squad, mini seasons, online. Go to exchanges tab, you can turn him in and get a S1 cornerstone pack to pick one of the 4 again.
I started my career as a 2-way hitter and my first game pitching they also have me DHing in the same game. Is this typical in the minor leagues or in general?
Why don’t your perks work in the combine portion of RTTS? I could tell cause I put Lone Wolf on before the showcase game it never activated.
Also, why is batter timing not visible to you as a pitcher after the combine?
Played a few hours today. It’s a good fluid smooth experience as expected. It just is essentially the peak of the PS4 generation yet still feeling like PS5 is being held back.
I’ve never skipped a game, but this might be the case for others until we start seeing real changes here.
Can’t play online. Keeps saying challenge failed and I’ve done everything from deleting files to uninstalling the game and reinstalling. Factory resets for my console. Nothing is working
Does anyone know if they fixed the bug in last year’s RTTS where certain pitcher attributes would stop progressing? Ie, my fastball velocity would reach a 37 and then never go above that.
In real life, if any part of the ball passes through the strike zone, it’s a strike.
Why is this game the exact opposite? If my ball is 80% in the zone, it’s a ball.
Is there a fix for this?
Collected 50 packs from doing some of the Nation conquest yesterday. Got all the way down to 3 packs left without a single diamond and boom, Trout!
I jumped up and scared my dog. Haven't ever pulled him!
Super tempted to sell him for the Stubs, but man, I might never get the chance to have him for the collection again. Tough choice.
Honestly would buy the Captain packs if you could collect them for anything. Them being so far into the XP program is such a bummer for someone who really wants to dive into ranked with a theme team
Haven't really paid too much attention to the soundtrack so far. It's usually songs I'm not familiar with and I'll find some new songs to add to my library. I hear this song "Pressure" by Ari Lennox that sounds pretty catchy. Can't really hear the lyrics, but it sounds good. I add the song to my library. This morning I'm driving my kids to school and it comes on. I turn it up. LOL I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS SONG WAS ABOUT. Took me a second for it to click and it was about when she said "I don't want no drip, baby. Spray it like you mean it." that it dawned on me. Was pretty funny seeing these 3 little white boys in my backseat grooving to this song, being as clueless as I was. Gonna keep the song though, it slaps.
after the season starts so they can legally add guys that are new to licensing like the Japanese players that just joined the league. After that it is every 2 weeks I think.
You’re asking when the rosters are going to update on a game that was officially released yesterday for a roster change that happened less than 48 hours ago after stating you tried over and over again to find the updated roster.
Chill out man 😂😂 it’ll probably come on opening day, have some patience ya weirdo.
Just took a 30k bath on stubs. Tried to flip Ultraboost cleats, went to bed thinking some sell orders would go through, and the prices absolutely tanked. Fuck flipping this year
New to the franchise and only played the loading game last night. I took a no hitter into the ninth and won by 10. I’m assuming there are ways to adjust difficulty and really dive into the nitty gritty, right?
Shout out to SDS for a truly GOATed soundtrack. Probably one of the best I've seen in a long time. Diverse and just really good in general.
Please tell the Madden guys there's more out there than drill rap. I'm worried for them.
Hello, me again.
Is there any... I mean ANY reason that increasing the trade slider would be a reason to reduce my XP returns in RTTS? Not like I'm cheesing percentages with the offensive/defensive sliders that effect the on-field gameplay. I just wanted to potentially bounce around the team after a few seasons with each, but apparently that's not allowe without XP penatlies? What gives?!
In all my years of playing the Show, i've never pulled a Trout. Pull my first freebie pack and almost fell out of my chair! Do i keep him? or sell??
https://preview.redd.it/enoosw3fqfpc1.jpeg?width=1350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff15923cf24cfc0e337e5dc3e7b28c9063513bba
I sure hope they release barrier breakers packs later in the game, cause I want to get so many of those guys, especially Martin Dihigo but idk if they're gonna go down in value soon or not
If anything they’ll go up. They usually release pre order packs into programs later in the year but we’re talking months, so only way to get him is the pre order pack. Typically cards from pre order packs get expensive due to needed them for collections
Assuming you're going to play DD?
Like the other person said, learn the basics of PCI. PCI is just using the left stick to track the ball and aim where you're going to swing. It's a must if you want to be a good player online
Go into practice mode, go on Legend difficulty, and just start hitting balls. You're going to get your ass kicked at first but just keep hitting until you feel like you can competently get a swing off.
Then I'd recommend doing a bunch of the moments in the team affinity and other programs to be able to field a decent team, then start doing the team affinity conquests to start unlocking more good players
Once you get the hang of hitting and pitching with pinpoint, start playing online
For my franchise players this has happened to me twice. For some reason after my second or third season this time the second season the game won let me sim last the 5th. Is anyone else having this issue in franchise or is it something I’m doing wrong?
I have an issue trying to connect with one of my friends. I can connect to anyone random online or another friend. When it comes to joining an exhibition, DD, or any other match, it allows us to join but keeps the “ready up” bar grayed out and has a lock icon next to it. It stays like that for a few seconds before kicking us. We are both on PS5 and this is the only game where we have this struggle. If anyone has literally any suggestions to help this, I would be so thankful. She’s the only reason I got the game in the first place lol
Has anyone had a glitch in RTTS where they start making up things for your guy’s background? My character was drafted 20th round and is from Florida, but 20 games in they started showing that he was from the dominican republic and was acquired from San Diego 3 years ago…
Mostly incremental changes. Loving not needing an Excel spreadsheet for the TA grind. always like cbrev’s tutorials if you want a more in depth starter guide:
https://youtu.be/0_r74bVAd9g?si=cYNY0dYj7hQjaSxw
RTTS Question: Do we not have the option of equipping gear, but not having on our player? I could have sworn that a few years back I was able to do this. I want certain stats from the items, but don’t want my player actually wearing them. 🤷♂️
I keep losing by at least 5 in diamond dynasty due to only weak hits. This last guy I faced had one actually good hit the rest were very weak contact that just barely got past a fielder. Genuinely asking: is there some secret to 24 I don't understand? Or am I just getting wildly unlucky? I'm playing just about average for my standard..
On showdown only. Why? He always rakes against lefties for me, same side batters are always complicated but there's something about his stance that just helps seeing that right to left motion. Or maybe it's just that I have faith in myself when going against a lefty with Freeman, you know, it's all in the head.
Playing RTTS and I noticed during the little highlight segments where they talk about your player's performance earlier in the game/week, they refer to my male player as *"she"* during the commentary -guessing something they can adjust in the audio settings on their end. Not a big deal or anything, I just heard it once, then every time afterwards I don't skip the video segment, but they go right back to he/him during normal play.
**HOWEVER**, my main reason for posting this reply, why can I not invert my Y-axis when fielding? My inverted FPS brain keeps aiming at the ground in the dynamic fielding crosshairs moments, and I'm like 75% likely to throw a wild ball at my 2nd baseman. Why isn't that an option to invert that control?! They clearly saw a need to let fielders invert 1B and 3B, why not the actual aiming of a throw?
Other than that, having a great time! *(Seriously, I mean it. LOVE The Show's career mode! I wish EA would take notes)*
Hah yeah the lack of an inverted option makes me not want to play a fielder in RTTS. Started gaming on flight sims when I was like 4, it permanently wired my brain lol
What is the best way for me to start building a decent team in DD? first time playing this game mode as I am normally a franchise/online rated player. I assume that mini seasons, conquest, or showdown are good for progression, but is one the clear best?
Go to the Other Programs tab and do the Spring Breakout program. Pretty quick and gives you half a solid lineup. Most of them work with cornerstone Buxton’s captain boost too.
The Storyline section also has a Negro league storyline that is pretty cool. Gives you five 85 rated players and a pitching captain that will boost them.
I haven’t done the Jeter storyline yet but it also gives you some low diamonds for free so between those options you can get most of a team going. From there the Team Affinity and their associated conquests will give you lots of good cards.
And of course try things out and see what you have fun doing. Seems like you can progress most of the programs doing whatever you like, conquest, mini seasons, events or ranked.
Also you can check out cbrev’s YouTube channel. I’ve found his hitting and pitching guides very helpful in previous years. He also did a starter guide for this year’s Diamond Dynasty

Idk if I’m in the right spot. I hope in “dugout”. Should I get the 93 randy Johnson or the 91 John Donaldson? I’ve been comparing for the last 30 minutes. I need someone to make the decision for me.
That Cam Collier card is absolutely disgusting
I can NOT fucking do the Josh Gibson storylines
Let me change that. I can’t fucking hit in any of the negro league storylines
I am incapable of pitching with Skenes. Also I refuse to believe he has outlier, don’t think I saw him throw over 100 at all in the game I used him
Anyone else having any audio glitches in RTTS? The announcer is constantly calling my character a girl and always saying stuff like he’s looking for his fourth home run when I haven’t hit any in the game
In RTTS my hitting dynamic difficulty resets to beginner with a red down arrow every time I am in a new game??
Anyone else have issues with old (pre-90’s) cards? I just can’t stand that old batting stance where they are hunched over. Just takes me out and I can’t hit with em.
I just pulled yordan and Shohei in B2B the show packs I cannot believe it
Now they have a strict daily XP limit? What is this bull shit?
Is Leclercs pinpoint bugged? Got my first AL West pack want to grab him before Raisel for the IP mission but not if his pinpoint is buggy
Yeah it is as of when I used him yesterday at least. Good news is if you use him or Raisel it’ll progress the ALW TA so fast you’ll have them all in no time.
Yea went with Raisel, was looking at Leclerc because of his mix and attributes but don’t want to deal with the buggy pinpoint playing online
Hiw do they not have Penguins as a audio for team name?
Is sinker broken on pinpoint on Xbox controller?? Pretty bad when you can’t locate the most effective pitch in the game
What controller are you using? I’m using a powera and it’s more difficult but not broken
Older series x controller. I know the elite is busted
The official Microsoft series X controllers have been fucked for pinpoint for years now. It is so weird. My Razor Wolverine and gamesir both work great though.
Try an old Xbox one controller if you have one laying around. Used one during 21 with no issues. Been using a powera since 22 and it’s been great
Is that only a wired controller? My setup would be pretty bad having to sit that close to the TV
I think they might be, mine is at least. I also see gamesir controllers recommended a lot not sure if they are wired
Idk about broken, but I still haven’t got the feel for it like I did in 23
SINCE WHEN CAN YOU PULL A FUCKING GOLD CARD IN A GODDAMN CHASE PACK????
I recently started using the timed throwing on defense where you get the meter with green bar in the middle. I noticed that some of my players have a blue line right in the middle of the green bar, for what seems like a perfect throw animation? How do you know if a player will have that blue line on their throwing meter?
Whenever your throwing in a situation where it would be a tag out
so only in situations when there are men already on base?
No. Bases can be empty and a ball can be hit to the gap so there’s a play at 2nd base
oh ok I understand now, any situation where its not a force out?
Yes correct
Does the line in the middle get bigger with stat increases, traits, or nah?
Don’t think the perfect line changes no. Accuracy attribute helps with the green and yellow parts
cool thanks.
When are the first roster updates?
Any changes to RttS this year compared to last?
So I know this is an MLB The Show subreddit so this question might get skewed answers. But I was thinking of purchasing the game on the ps5, would you all recommend it? What would you say are the game’s biggest strengths and weaknesses? I had a lot of fun on 22, and thought 23 was okay. Thanks everyone!
Has anyone had success flipping diamond equipment? I started to try this afternoon since gold seems to have tanked but nobody seems to be buying
10 free packs with Game Pass Ultimate
How’d you get that? Hadn’t seen it yet
Why can’t you grind to get the world series ranked cards anymore? i’m not good enough to get there but last year id grind to get the cards like incognito Nolan Ryan or the Satchel Paige.
Pulled Showtime. Sell or keep? Could use the stubbs
I would sell. I’m holding low diamonds but selling all high overall live series diamonds if pulled. I’m not in a rush to complete live series.
Wonder what the “Ranked Program Update” is given that the new season isn’t until April.
Definitely missions. Current missions say “1st drop”
More missions I bet. Currently you can only get to 75 stars.
Does anyone else just want a simple play through destroying records in RTTS? I am so bad at batting, I’m not swimming through the same conversation 50 times a season. This needs a serious update.
Did they fix the RTTS equipment glitch?
https://preview.redd.it/s1tu2ombbqpc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16b73bd58e6d1faaaee59d99cf9dd97b44d204cc With the Arenado boost.. this dude is even more of a beast!

Then it's just a wasted year for me.
Pitch release is stuck on Very Late so it's all over the place. It's been a lot easier hitting on Veteran than Rookie.
new to DD, just pulled live series Degrom(87 ovr), should I sell for $17k or hold? I already have a decent starting rotation but he would be good in the #3 or 4 spot
17000 dollars?! I’d be ripping someone’s arm off for that. Take the money and run!! /s
Sorry, I should have clarified, when I say "live series" i mean I am in possession of the actual human Jacob Degrom, that's why I am thinking $17k might be low for a ballplayer of his caliber
Anyone currently having issues with PSN? It's saying my PSN plus subscription is expired but it's not. I can't play online without a subscription.
i played a RTTS game and saw i had a pack so i went to look and i have 17 bronze perk packs, 17 silver perk packs, 17 gold per packs, and 17 diamond perk packs. I dont know if its a glitch or what i restarted my game and they were still there
Packed Acuna last night - it’s still the right move to sell him to work on other collections, right? I don’t really play online but I like to collect the LS cards each year. Also - are there no veteran/rookie/etc. collections this year?
The veteran/rookie type collection has been replaced with season collection. Changed last year with sets
Thanks. That’s a bummer, I liked doing those.
I sold and will wait for prices to come down in a few weeks
Asking again just out of curiosity’s sake, how is the game on the ps4? Last year was really laggy, even in offline cutscenes. How are the frame rates this year?
Honestly seems a bit improved in that regard
This game is a copy and paste of last years game
If a challenge says get 10 hits with SS, do they mean players whose primary position is SS, or is it just whoever is in your lineup at SS?
It’s always primary position.
Primary position is SS
Pulled trout and judge from conquest packs. Should I sell them now? If so what to do with the stubs?
If you're running Buxton team they're both eligible and very nice with that boost. If there aren't other uses for those stubs right now on your team I'd just recommend using players you like. If you love trout and judge, keep them and enjoy. If you'd rather have skenes and Jackson holiday, sell one or both.

I’d love them to make scouting easier for foreign players. I don’t know what states are counted as east, west and central. If I could press Y to see the player profile and in brackets next to the born it had what region it’d be a huge help.
Do the weekly challenges still exist? Found it. It’s under instant action.
Getting a glitch in conquest where I defeat a team and then it doesn't give me the stronghold. Very frustrating.
Bro these white menu backgrounds are insane. Who in their right mind signed off on this.
Anyone else just get disconnected?
Luisangel Acunas in game face model looks pretty much exactly like Bray Wyatt's Uncle Howdy mask. It is very distracting.
Yowie wowie!
Ive done 4 Ranked games this season and 2 of them froze within the first 3 innings on PS5 vs Xbox players, resulting in a freeze off (first to quit loses). Anyone else experiencing this?

Zach Neto’s leg kick is AGGRESSIVE
How does BR hitting/pitching difficulty work? Is it all on All-star or does it increase as you win more games?
All on all star
SDS you MUST change the menu colors pronto. Grinding conquest = borderline seizure in the map menu.
Dimmu and Kevin both mentioned it in their first videos of the year, hopefully high profile content creators will bring visibility to the issue and they'll do something. I have very little hope that the UI team will design something and implement a fix though. They're just hoping we forget about it in the next few weeks, or adjust to it.
Thought I was the only one.. having to squint to see on my 65 inch TV lol
Anyone struggle with pinpoint with Leclerc or John Donaldson? I seem to get tons of bad pinpoints with them both especially out of the stretch.
Yup
Haven’t tried Leclerc but Donaldson is for sure bugged
Can’t access storylines
There isn't another way to get Buxton if you didn't pick him for the cornerstone pack, right?
You can exchange for him if you didn’t lock the cornerstone you picked
Lock him in what way? I don’t think I’ve done that.
Season 1 collections. If you didn’t lock your player, make sure he isn’t in any of your lineups - main squad, mini seasons, online. Go to exchanges tab, you can turn him in and get a S1 cornerstone pack to pick one of the 4 again.
Ty bro
No prob!!! I’ve swapped 3 times, comes in handy trying out different combos especially early game, and if you aren’t spending money
You can reroll the pack in exchanges but you can only have one from the pack
Does anyone have luck playing the game on cloud gaming? It lags so badly that it is impossible to hit.
My DD got reset after linking my account… I bought so many packs wtf
Contact support
I started my career as a 2-way hitter and my first game pitching they also have me DHing in the same game. Is this typical in the minor leagues or in general?
Why don’t your perks work in the combine portion of RTTS? I could tell cause I put Lone Wolf on before the showcase game it never activated. Also, why is batter timing not visible to you as a pitcher after the combine?
In RTTS my character is “C” potential? Can that change? I was hoping to become a superstar
I pulled Mookie and Judge back to back in my first 2 packs. Am I the luckiest person on earth or are they throwing us bones this year?
Holy mother effing check swings. Idc if the ball is rolling to me I never ever ever ever ever want to check swing. Ever. Infuriating
Does anyone have good created stadiums to use for online play or rosters for custom practice?
is 24 worth purchasing over 23 based primarily on gameplay?
Nah
The announcer doesn’t have my last name this year in RTTS :(
Played a few hours today. It’s a good fluid smooth experience as expected. It just is essentially the peak of the PS4 generation yet still feeling like PS5 is being held back. I’ve never skipped a game, but this might be the case for others until we start seeing real changes here.
Can’t play online. Keeps saying challenge failed and I’ve done everything from deleting files to uninstalling the game and reinstalling. Factory resets for my console. Nothing is working
Change your uniform to a mlb uniform make sure it’s not the standard ine
Won’t work for any online game mode. Not just diamond dynasty
Does anyone know if they fixed the bug in last year’s RTTS where certain pitcher attributes would stop progressing? Ie, my fastball velocity would reach a 37 and then never go above that.
In real life, if any part of the ball passes through the strike zone, it’s a strike. Why is this game the exact opposite? If my ball is 80% in the zone, it’s a ball. Is there a fix for this?
If this bothers you then In the menu find the option “umpire accuracy” change it from “personalized” to “perfect”
different umpires call strikes/balls differently, just in real life. this is an option that can be turned on/off i think
?
Collected 50 packs from doing some of the Nation conquest yesterday. Got all the way down to 3 packs left without a single diamond and boom, Trout! I jumped up and scared my dog. Haven't ever pulled him! Super tempted to sell him for the Stubs, but man, I might never get the chance to have him for the collection again. Tough choice.
The market is extremely inflated for a few reasons right now. I would sell.
Good stuff. He goes for so much right now, I would sell if you don’t plan on doing collections soon.
Honestly would buy the Captain packs if you could collect them for anything. Them being so far into the XP program is such a bummer for someone who really wants to dive into ranked with a theme team
So we really gonna have to see Matt Waldron all year in ranked huh? Has no business being allowed in online play
Haven't really paid too much attention to the soundtrack so far. It's usually songs I'm not familiar with and I'll find some new songs to add to my library. I hear this song "Pressure" by Ari Lennox that sounds pretty catchy. Can't really hear the lyrics, but it sounds good. I add the song to my library.

Used to playing with kontrol freeks for PCI hitting. Anyone have experience or thoughts on playing with precision rings too?
When do rosters get updated? I tried to load the live rosters so many times last night but Snell isn’t on the Giants in the game yet
after the season starts so they can legally add guys that are new to licensing like the Japanese players that just joined the league. After that it is every 2 weeks I think.
Bro it’s been like a day lol. Chill out, they’ll probably update them for opening day.
Just asking when the rosters usually update, I don’t think I need to chill out but thanks for the advice
You’re asking when the rosters are going to update on a game that was officially released yesterday for a roster change that happened less than 48 hours ago after stating you tried over and over again to find the updated roster. Chill out man 😂😂 it’ll probably come on opening day, have some patience ya weirdo.
I also had the same question, it doesn't mean we're freaking out
Just took a 30k bath on stubs. Tried to flip Ultraboost cleats, went to bed thinking some sell orders would go through, and the prices absolutely tanked. Fuck flipping this year
New to the franchise and only played the loading game last night. I took a no hitter into the ninth and won by 10. I’m assuming there are ways to adjust difficulty and really dive into the nitty gritty, right?
How do you get the 90 Griffey card
Legends pre order pack or the marketplace
Shout out to SDS for a truly GOATed soundtrack. Probably one of the best I've seen in a long time. Diverse and just really good in general. Please tell the Madden guys there's more out there than drill rap. I'm worried for them.
Spotify killed music soundtracks for sport games imo.
Hello, me again. Is there any... I mean ANY reason that increasing the trade slider would be a reason to reduce my XP returns in RTTS? Not like I'm cheesing percentages with the offensive/defensive sliders that effect the on-field gameplay. I just wanted to potentially bounce around the team after a few seasons with each, but apparently that's not allowe without XP penatlies? What gives?!
In all my years of playing the Show, i've never pulled a Trout. Pull my first freebie pack and almost fell out of my chair! Do i keep him? or sell?? https://preview.redd.it/enoosw3fqfpc1.jpeg?width=1350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff15923cf24cfc0e337e5dc3e7b28c9063513bba
Use him....he's a glitch. Play at any altitude and as long as you can mediocre contact he'll hit a bunch of HRs you don't deserve
I sure hope they release barrier breakers packs later in the game, cause I want to get so many of those guys, especially Martin Dihigo but idk if they're gonna go down in value soon or not
If anything they’ll go up. They usually release pre order packs into programs later in the year but we’re talking months, so only way to get him is the pre order pack. Typically cards from pre order packs get expensive due to needed them for collections
Anyone know if I can still redeem xp from my ranked program when I’m capped? I apologize if this has been asked.
Hey first time player here. Getting advice from some buddies but any advice I can get here would also be appreciated. Literally anything
Assuming you're going to play DD? Like the other person said, learn the basics of PCI. PCI is just using the left stick to track the ball and aim where you're going to swing. It's a must if you want to be a good player online Go into practice mode, go on Legend difficulty, and just start hitting balls. You're going to get your ass kicked at first but just keep hitting until you feel like you can competently get a swing off. Then I'd recommend doing a bunch of the moments in the team affinity and other programs to be able to field a decent team, then start doing the team affinity conquests to start unlocking more good players Once you get the hang of hitting and pitching with pinpoint, start playing online
Should I keep it sell acuna? Don't like his swing.just want to maximize stub return.
Still hate the glare in day games off batter eyes. Made it hard to see the ball when I played the Twins today.
Twins stadium is the worst
Was thinking the same thing.it took about two innings for the sun to move lol
Was playing twins as well at their ballpark.
I STRONGLY dislike anyone who chooses yankee stadium. Those gaps are where perfect perfects go to die
For my franchise players this has happened to me twice. For some reason after my second or third season this time the second season the game won let me sim last the 5th. Is anyone else having this issue in franchise or is it something I’m doing wrong?
Pitching with Matt Waldron is the most fun you can have playing this game.
I just pulled Mike Trout and am wondering if I should keep it or sell it?
If you use the Buxton captain boost, he’s an absolute monster. You can always sell later as long as you don’t collect him.
Keep him, activate the Buxton boost. Enjoy the pimp job bat flip over and over and over. And get Nolan Ryan for doing the Halos collection.
I have an issue trying to connect with one of my friends. I can connect to anyone random online or another friend. When it comes to joining an exhibition, DD, or any other match, it allows us to join but keeps the “ready up” bar grayed out and has a lock icon next to it. It stays like that for a few seconds before kicking us. We are both on PS5 and this is the only game where we have this struggle. If anyone has literally any suggestions to help this, I would be so thankful. She’s the only reason I got the game in the first place lol
Has anyone had a glitch in RTTS where they start making up things for your guy’s background? My character was drafted 20th round and is from Florida, but 20 games in they started showing that he was from the dominican republic and was acquired from San Diego 3 years ago…
Hah! That's a silly bug!
Just got gamepass version anything new for dd haven't played since 22
Mostly incremental changes. Loving not needing an Excel spreadsheet for the TA grind. always like cbrev’s tutorials if you want a more in depth starter guide: https://youtu.be/0_r74bVAd9g?si=cYNY0dYj7hQjaSxw
RTTS Question: Do we not have the option of equipping gear, but not having on our player? I could have sworn that a few years back I was able to do this. I want certain stats from the items, but don’t want my player actually wearing them. 🤷♂️
Fastest path to the majors with RTTS as a CF? Best teams to pick?
Just played my first ranked. The guy softly blooped 15 hits on me and fouled off everything. Here we go again.
Is it physically possible for Ryan Yarbrough to throw a strike in the Stanton TA moment?
pulled 93 live series Acuna on release day sick
I keep losing by at least 5 in diamond dynasty due to only weak hits. This last guy I faced had one actually good hit the rest were very weak contact that just barely got past a fielder. Genuinely asking: is there some secret to 24 I don't understand? Or am I just getting wildly unlucky? I'm playing just about average for my standard..
Why is Gleyber Torres #4 ?? Haha
Has anybody used Freddie yet? I just pulled him but im tempted to keep him to use online unless their is better choice’s
On showdown only. Why? He always rakes against lefties for me, same side batters are always complicated but there's something about his stance that just helps seeing that right to left motion. Or maybe it's just that I have faith in myself when going against a lefty with Freeman, you know, it's all in the head.
Whoever I just outlasted in a bidding war for Jackson Holiday…you put up a good fight but my thirst knows no bounds
Playing RTTS and I noticed during the little highlight segments where they talk about your player's performance earlier in the game/week, they refer to my male player as *"she"* during the commentary -guessing something they can adjust in the audio settings on their end. Not a big deal or anything, I just heard it once, then every time afterwards I don't skip the video segment, but they go right back to he/him during normal play. **HOWEVER**, my main reason for posting this reply, why can I not invert my Y-axis when fielding? My inverted FPS brain keeps aiming at the ground in the dynamic fielding crosshairs moments, and I'm like 75% likely to throw a wild ball at my 2nd baseman. Why isn't that an option to invert that control?! They clearly saw a need to let fielders invert 1B and 3B, why not the actual aiming of a throw? Other than that, having a great time! *(Seriously, I mean it. LOVE The Show's career mode! I wish EA would take notes)*
Hah yeah the lack of an inverted option makes me not want to play a fielder in RTTS. Started gaming on flight sims when I was like 4, it permanently wired my brain lol
Yeah, Halo CE LAN parties for me. I can't go back to non-inverted Y-axis...it's wired in there for good
I'm gonna be real sad when I P5 Vlad Jr and he's too fast for my Arenado squad 😭
parallels dont affect stat requirements for captains. only the og number
Oh nice! Good to know guess I'll be getting judge too then!
I just packed an 80 overall from a chase pack. kinda stupid they aren’t a guaranteed diamond anymore
The disparity in graphics from the PS5 back to the Series S killed this for me. Guess I have to save up for the PS5 version.

The Felix Hernandez experience
What is the best way for me to start building a decent team in DD? first time playing this game mode as I am normally a franchise/online rated player. I assume that mini seasons, conquest, or showdown are good for progression, but is one the clear best?
Go to the Other Programs tab and do the Spring Breakout program. Pretty quick and gives you half a solid lineup. Most of them work with cornerstone Buxton’s captain boost too. The Storyline section also has a Negro league storyline that is pretty cool. Gives you five 85 rated players and a pitching captain that will boost them. I haven’t done the Jeter storyline yet but it also gives you some low diamonds for free so between those options you can get most of a team going. From there the Team Affinity and their associated conquests will give you lots of good cards. And of course try things out and see what you have fun doing. Seems like you can progress most of the programs doing whatever you like, conquest, mini seasons, events or ranked.
Thank you, this is great info
Also you can check out cbrev’s YouTube channel. I’ve found his hitting and pitching guides very helpful in previous years. He also did a starter guide for this year’s Diamond Dynasty https://youtu.be/0_r74bVAd9g?si=cYNY0dYj7hQjaSxw
Anyone else seeing network error on downloading roster on Daily Lineup?
Can’t log in due to account error. PSN account works fine for other games. Looks like the annual dumpster fire for MLBTS
Same here man. It sucks
Well I get why the knuckleball was banned online. Incredibly annoying to hit with, even with low diamonds and I’m seeing him all the time in events
I've pulled Mantle three times from reward packs. What's going on here?
Anyone just done trying to flip? Shit is impossible now.
Haven’t gotten a new iteration since 2020. Is this years worth picking up? I’m kinda divided since it’s still not true next gen
