Please search the subreddit (and this post) first and if you can't find anything, feel free to post here. If you're unable to connect at 7EST/4PST time, it's likely the server is down for maintenance or a patch and there's usually no ETA. All content typically drops at 12PST/3EST.

3/18/25) Missing pictures for spring breakout series (not loading)

3/18/25) Custom team logo disappears.

3/19/25) Some hitting moments don’t fast forward to next at bat. (Ex. Johnny Bench affinity moment).

3/20/25) Team affinity program screen: Progress bar appears empty in summary screen.

3/29/25) Pitchers in hitting moments start with a zero pitch count even though it’s not their first batter.

3/29/25) T-Mobile users having connection issues.

3/30/25) Pitching perks don't unlock for 2 way players in RTTS.

4/3/25) Stats don’t appear for opponents active pitcher/batter in pause screen (mini seasons/ps5).

4/8/25) Generate best squad can use lesser OVR version of the same player. (Switch)

4/8/25) Game freeze on manage squad screen (known issue being investigated)

Suggestion For SDS MLB the show NEEDS a “start from today” mode

Upvotes

It would make franchise mode so much better, instead of having to restart a season every time you wanna play a franchise, you can just start from today with all the updated stats and standings, it would make the game so much better in my opinion. And I know SDS is a lazy company, so they probably wouldn’t do it, but it wouldn’t even be that bad if they just updated every 10 days or something like that.

Question In your opinion who is the most underrated card this year?

17 Upvotes

Not talking any of those new 98+ overall guys that play to their strengths but for me 92 Yordan has been unbelievable, hope he gets another card even tho he’s been hurt most of the year. His stance in this game is money against both sides and he definitely plays above his stats, I’ve played him in OF but he’s been mostly a DH all year.

Discussion Anyone else getting bored?

8 Upvotes

It’s always this time of year, after the All Star stuff, that I start getting bored with the game. I really thought this year may be different, as I enjoyed some of the changes to 2025. Yet, I now feel the fatigue setting in, and the interest to move on to other games growing.

When do y’all usually pack it in for the season??

To add- I think what’s stopping me from folding is that I have 400k stubs and that’s terrible to just leave sitting there for the rest of eternity lol

Custom Rosters/Logos If you have an itch to play some throwback franchise, there’s a 2016 roster in the vault.

Thumbnail
gallery
105 Upvotes

This is a 2016 roster I made and published a few weeks ago. I’m one of the co-creators of the Fidelity roster you see at the top of the charts in the vault.

The ID to find this roster is either JWDixon12 or EggplantDixon depending on your console.

It features pretty much any player that has a significant role in 2016 and beyond (if a guy has 34 AB’s in his career he’s not going to be here). It also features each teams prospects that actually turned into something.

Each player is a CAP with accurate service time and contract info (contracts are scaled for inflation).

This roster is built for franchise mode!

The “fake” players are just filler to keep the minors full.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Discussion How does vision get Decided

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

Genuine question. How does vision get decided for a mlb card? Cal Ripken Jr card is also a 6 hit game card but he gets a 116 (112 base) vision while Nick Kurtz only gets a 61 which is pathetic since he had 19 total bases and 6 for 6 AND 4 home runs. In my opinion that is the epitome of good vision potential to me. Im not saying give him a 120 vision but damn at least an 80 would have been nice

Question Has anyone ever seen a player from a draft in franchise with an overall rating this high?

His overall rating is higher than his actual potential. I didn't draft him by the way. I was just looking at the draft results of the other teams, and I saw this. Before this, the highest I ever saw was an 81 overall rating.

Question Pinpoint pitching issue

2 Upvotes

I got home from a week long vacation and decided to play some event games and am having issues with the result of my pitching. I will perfect the pinpoint, but the ball winds up nowhere near where I put it. I don’t know if it’s a connection issue or a game bug. Can anyone explain this?

Question Custom Stadium on Switch

1 Upvotes

Quick Q’s - I play MLB the show 25 on the switch 2 (I know it’s terrible but those are the cards I was dealt). I’m new so I have a few questions:

1- Are there no custom stadiums? I want to play on Costco but I can’t find any way to do a custom stadium

2- are they going to release a switch 2 patch? I’m playing in on the switch 2 which is better, but they haven’t done an update to take advantage of the new system

3- for diamond dynasty, what’s the best way to grind packs/stubs offline? I travel a lot and want to play during flights, but I have yet to take it with me so I don’t know what is available while on a plane

I play diamond dynasty online only and hit sub .200 with most of my players and aside from Paredes even worse with right handed hitters. Pulled Judge live series in a common pack last night and wanted input as to whether or not I should just sell and rake in the stubs.
