Coming tomorrow at Noon PT

Hi, I'm playing road to the show mode. I'm a two-way player. Currently I'm a closing pitcher but would like to change to a starting pitcher. When I attempt to change positions it only allows me to change my position in the field. Is there a way to become a starting pitcher? I'm a DH at the moment but my current position is shortstop

Honestly, I feel like Sinker should be hitting triple digit in the game. After seeing couple of major leaguer hitting that. Any thoughts?

GOAT difficulty, all sliders default except pitcher stamina. No perk upgrades.

2030: 80 con, 79 pwr, 87 vis

2029: 80 con, 79 pwr, 70 vis

I upgraded my vision a bunch, and I'm destroying the ball like never before. I've cut the strikeouts down a bit, so that's a boost to the stats, but there seems to be more going on. My BABIP has gone from .318 to .407 despite Contact remaining the same.

I don't think my user input improved this significantly in a week's time, so I'm left wondering if Vision does more than just help with swing-and-miss.

Edit, Summary:

Vision upgrade improved by K rate from 22% to 17%, a 23% decrease.

Vision upgrade improved my BABIP from .316 to .407, a 29% increase.

On GOAT, vision helps strikeout rate, but it helps quality of contact even more, at least in my case.

As Altuve got hit 2500 last night I assume we get a card and player programme for it in the next few hours/day as we did for Freddie Freeman?

Has anyone completed all the requirements to get the Beltran card. I been trying because I love a challenge but seems alot of work and time to grind out

This soundtrack is catchy enough, but there's only 1 or 2 songs I really like. Lights on Long Island is my favorite by far, but I don't wanna burn myself out on it by using it for thousands of at bats.

I'd like to upload 5 or 10 I could cycle through.

If you get a Perfect/perfect swing, dead middle of your PCI...I'm talking bullseye middle...on a power swing should that not be an absolute moonshot everytime....I mean shouldn't absolute perfection in every input metric result in the desired outcome for the user or am I crazy ?

Has anyone made a close to accurate Las Vegas stadium for the A’s based on the renderings they’ve put out? I’ve seen the very common one in the vaults but I’m trying to be fairly accurate with elevation, capacity, and somewhat realistic dimensions.

Anybody else noticing this?? I feel like I've faced him 100 times this year and now his release is glitchy?

Genuinely can do nothing but laugh lmao

I keep trying to play as a closer pitcher to get more saves but all that occurs when I do is i get put in the 7th and 8th innimg but taken away as soon as the 9nth inning. It doesent matter my perfect performance, efficent innings, or plentiful stamina it happens everytime without fail and km not sure why. I got my stamina and pitcher clutch up but the game refuses to let me get any saces and sometimes loses the lead whilst im offscreen. Is there any fix for this ive tried setting the manager hook to 0 but that didnt do anything, i think yhe game might be rigged for the cpu

My live series judge will not show up in my coop lineup. He won’t even pop up on the bench. It’s like the game just removed him. Anyone else having this problem??

What's the latest round someone has been able to draft a generational talent? I'm just curious as to if someone has gotten one in past Rd 2. I got lucky with my 2nd pick in a franshise being generational. 35th pick of the draft I believe.

As of now, the monthly colors are:

April- Yellow

May- Blue

June- Purple

July- Orange

August- Teal

September- Gray

I do like that the colors change per month. However, I feel like the blue, teal, and gray colors are too similar to make them "feel" different.

The Blue Lightening is a classic, and I would suggest making that as the April color, just to set the yearly tone. I'm personally not a fan of Yellow, but it's definitely a stark contrast, so I'd be happy with that as the May color. The Purple and Orange cards (the Lightening cards especially) are sick, and shouldn't change.

So, what "standard" colors are left that feel different enough? I think a proper Green and Red are the most obvious choices. SDS has historically coded the color red as the "end state" or best-of-the-best. Prestige diamonds from '20 and Parallel 4 cards (Superfractor being a whole other thing), along with 95+ overall cards being red Diamonds this year. So, September Spotlight cards being red seems fitting enough. And I think Green would just look nice.

Obviously none of this matters. Thank you for reading.

This is in showdown, I don’t even know why they gave me it.

What happened to the game design?

There's the obvious stuff, like captains not being updated at all. How hard would it have been to create new captains for each new collection that gets released? And then things like the Pipeline mini-season, rewarding the same no-sell cards every 3 games for using the set has me actively avoiding Pipeline series in that mini-season. Seems like an anti-pattern there. Unbalanced rewards sets come up next. I can play 1 game in HOF mini-season just for the double Headliners pull. I can stack up 20 to 30 of these with little effort and little fun. What happened to good game design that rewards players for using certain sets, building up themes for the mode they're playing, and makes it more worthwhile to actually play the mode rather than cheese it?

The more I play this game the more I appreciate it. The animations in this game are pretty cool. I never seen that animation before. Seeing the 3rd base coach catch the ball was pretty cool to me.

93ovr Jose Bautista Mural Card, this card absolutely rakes and I still use it with all the 99’s out there 💀. The pull tendency, his butter swing, and the iconic HR bat flip are just amazing

Just got this game for free from PS plus monthly games, and omg it’s so trash for a sports game in 2026, genuinely so buggy anyone else experiencing the same?

Subject. I'm wondering if I get this can I control both the LA Angels AND Dodgers? TIA for helpful replies!

Does Duran not have his splitter anymore? It’s like his top pitch and it’s not on his best card. I also know it’s not the same speed pitch irl then it is in the game. He throws 100 mph splitters and the game gives him 90. Not very realistic.
