Before this week I felt like I was hitting everything and was sitting at 700+ rating. Over the last two days I can’t hit shit and dropped from 700+ to 270. Also any time I’m leading and have like 10+ Ks through 6 suddenly my opponent knows how to hit and everything flies or is a bloop.

Is the game just dog shit lately or am I just dogshit/in a terrible slump. Just feel the game has been off lately and I guess being on the PS5 doesn’t help either.

I’m a newer player on 26 and I don’t understand the mechanics of Zone PCI hitting. The game makes no effort to explain how any of this works. Do I not move the PCI until I’m ready to swing? or do I constantly move the PCI aiming for the ball, before a swing?

If don’t move the PCI until I’m ready to swing the PCI doesn’t move. If I yank the PCI towards the ball last second, my PCI will show it never moved during the swing. If I consistently move the PCI before the pitch aiming for the ball my swing still misses with the PCI off target.

Can someone answer how this works without trolling, thanks.

Have the devs patched the trade system at all since the game came out? Like did they bring back instant trades, interest meter, or multiple trades a day?

If not, then looks like I’m still gonna rock with ‘25 for franchise mode.

I’m not saying there’s not things wouldn’t wish for improvements on but, compared to mlb’s franchise mode, Madden’s franchise is completely phoned in

1st trade I even tried, did it for shits didn't think it would actually go through, now I'm worried I just screwed up idk how an older, lower rated player on an expiring deal could get a return of a younger, locked down, 95 overall 3rd baseman but idk maybe I'm an idiot?

have you ever been playing on a hard difficulty and it’s too easy for you so u go back and check your sliders and difficulty u set it on? its happened to me many times, playing on legend and goat vs cpu. GOAT vs casual cpu is easy for me

I wanted to figure out how you guys determine what mods to put on certain cards. I see that show zone has like recommendations for mods and wondered how good those recommendations actually are. Is it just personal preference on what you guys look for in a card or something else?

Man, one month since I bought The Show 25. It was a loosing streak until I understand how to play. This was the best play I've made until now.

Grinded for Jram, Ted Williams, have a really good team that I’m happy with and P5s, but once all the new all star/draft cards start being better it’s a little frustrating.

I finally made it to 6-700 rank this year, but slowly see myself wanting to play rtts or franchise.

Just curious what your guys game plan is for the second half of the season

Probably not a very unique thing, but I like to use full lineups of the Topps Now cards and the less popular promo cards.

I have about 5-10 Topps cards with a P5 under 100 and two of them in the 30-50 range. All from playing offline (so the grind is pretty slow) and I don't use created stadiums.

This year I haven't flipped at all, so I can't affort the super expensive cards anyway, but I've had more fun doing this than I did last year when I flipped my way to a million stubs. It feels a bit more realistic too because the Topps cards usually have major weaknesses in one area or another.

I was winning anyways so whatever but still wtf

Okay hi everyone idk if i have or haven’t posted in here but i had a question and i wanted to run it by yall so Last night (im a twins fan btw) i did a Rockies realistic rebuild and ik you saw the title so i have actually a few questions. One regarding realistic rebuilds how do yall keep the payrolls at a respectable and realistic level because for the most part, i had The rockies at around 140 Million on average with my highest being 191 and i didnt sign any free agents and as low as 88 Million and i had my few and only winning seasons at 90 and 143 Million dollars? So thats my first question and second one is how do yall go about drafting? Because in my Rockies franchise i had done scouting by position for the first time and within 1 1/2 drafts i had 11 Top 100 prospects and 5 of them were starting pitchers that i had built an all new rookie sensation rotation for Colorado. I wanna get yalls thoughts and tell me how have yalls franchises gone realistic or not also My highest win total in 11 years… 83.. AND MY ENTIRE TEAM WAS BASICALLY DRAFTED AND DEVELOPED BY ME

What's your best female draft pick in Career mode?

Any better than this?

CF that I discovered International, drafted in 2nd round.

Down sides is 23 and opted out Dr exam.

Ended up being Healthy 😅

Betsy was a bonus in 3rd round

Let me finish this game before sds disconnected me again

Curious what everyone’s thoughts are, do you think we’ll need the Easter Egg Mookie Betts for the upcoming voucher?

Since they surprised us with needing the Easter Egg and St Patty’s Collection. I’m leaning toward picking him up now before his price jumps, but I’m not completely convinced. Interested to hear what everyone else is doing.

I’m 114,000 pxp from Byron Buxton and it feels like it’s taking forever. What is the best way to grind this pxp?

Does he space out? Go to lala land while on defense?

Two way RTTS game ended in a tie somehow and no the game didn't count. It wants me to replay the whole thing......... SDS isn't getting another cent from me until they address the rampant bugs.

Has anyone else had trouble loading into ranked over the past couple days? I make it as far as the lineup screen but don’t load into the game, and then the app crashes. I want to ask if freeze-offs are back, but the app closes after about 5 minutes each time, and I’m fairly certain it’s something on my end, but i have no clue what to do about it. Game logs come up completely empty when I load back in too, just a loss for me and my pitcher. Anyone else?

Like, how do I physically find the events in the game? It says I need HRs in events. What are they talking about?

Pitching in RTTS, drafted to the Dodgers and for some reason the outfielders can’t field for sh*t! Weak contact floating to Teoscar and he stops and lets the ball drop right in front of him to give up a single?! Smh I don’t remember it being this bad in ‘25.

I had not seen this posted yet
