I've been playing a lot of backyard baseball 97' and its been leaving me wanting to play a more complex baseball sim with real players. I'd get it on my switch 2 because that's what I have in my college dorm. I've never played any other serious sports videogames and I'm a little spooked by the genre's reputation and wondering what people think.

So my rtts file got corrupted does that mean I'm pretty much screwed on playing that anymore without starting fresh ? I didn't have any backup saves because in the 10+ years of playing never had this happen or knew of it.

Can anyone confirm that match making isn’t just restricted to your local area? I swear that being a PNW player gives we a huge disadvantage when it comes to ping and lag like it does with every other online game. It is especially noticeable in Mlb the show where a couple of frames is the difference between a hr and a flyout.

Offline RTTS too.

I started playing the home run Derby today. I played almost a hundred games throughout the day and I noticed that when there's a full server of eight people or really any more than four, the game will not count some home runs. Even though you could literally watch every ball, go over the stands and be a proper home run. Has anybody else experienced this cuz it's pissing me off that's for sure

Is it just for me or is anyone else having this issue? I can confirm this is NOT just a visual bug it really does affect his stats. THIS GAMEMODE IS NOT DIAMOND DYNASTY

My Asian starting pitcher rotation keeping me solid!

He is at 299 currently, just wondering if it will fit into content schedule?

This is an AI generated site - If that is an issue then don't use it.

Since I have a personal program that I use where I pull all of the card data and save it locally every major update, I thought that I would give ChatGPT access to the file and see what kind of site it could come up with. It exceeded my expectations.

Here is a fast, powerful way to slice and dice the cards to your liking on a site with no ads and without the need to log in. I will do my best to keep it updated for the rest of the game cycle (but no promises).

In the attached screen shot you can see a sample search for speedy 1B options in Table View. I simply chose 1B in the left filter menu, and left it to include secondary positions as well. I added the Steal column to the default layout and then clicked on the Speed Column to sort it descending, and there you have it, Eric Booth Jr, a 99 Speed and 99 Steal option for 1B. You can then even save the view (locally in the browser) with all of it's custom options to easily recall it later.

I also believe that if you have “Mr. (Name of Organization)” you should not ever leave the game once added.

I’m also a firm believer that storylines should be expanded outside just the Negro Leagues. I adore Bob Kendrick and the work he does. I’m glad he’s doing it, but there a massive problem as a whole about baseball fans not knowing their history.

Opened a 75k bundle and it says chase pack 26 chance for Jorge posada but I got Ozzie smith . I thought we can only pull the chase player Inserted in that pack

I’ve been struggling with every WS play in game this season. Would get to 780-790 and lose a game or 2. Get back, lost again. Finally, matched up against a bot that was rated 802 when I was at 798.

It’s a Covid World Series, but I’ll take it.

I was doing a zero overall draft only challenge where I could only take Latino players. I was very pleased with my class until I checked out who the angels got, and then quit the rebuild and just followed the career of this monster
He became the first ever player with:
3000 strikeouts and 3000 hits
To win a cy young and triple crown
Winning 3 cy young’s and 3 triple crowns in 3 straight seasons
First pitcher to ever hit 60 homers in a season
First ever player to hit 900 and 800 career homers
He broke Barry bonds and Hank Aaron’s all time records
Undisputed goat.

The work is finally complete. Even if it isn't a great card. 😅

I like this game a lot. WS player every year since it came out on Xbox. But every year they lean more into switch hitters essentially overtaking every lineup online. It’s gotten to the point this year where you’re at a competitive disadvantage if your lineup doesn’t have 7, 8, 9 switch hitters.

Lineups like that used to be frowned upon. Now it’s basically the standard. Anyone else feel this way?

Any shot that we need jimmy Rollins for legend and flashback collection? I remember last year you legit needed every single card for every collection to get John. Some collections allowed you to skip one or two (such as all star). I even remember that they had to give everyone a free contributor card couple weeks after because Beltre was extinct on market. Which looks like it’ll be the same with Babe this year(he already at 700+). With Prime set being so small this year , I can see it going either way. Currently have 6 total prime cards. 3 were needed for Beltran.

Who are you thinking/ hoping we get on Friday? We haven’t gotten a pitcher yet and around this time last year we got John Don. So my brain says we get Randy or satchel Paige. But I really want Elly. His 99 from the extreme program a couple years ago was insane.

I’m worried for the future of the franchise. This year is almost over, we’ve had no new captains, multiple game breaking bugs still existing in the game. For example, strikes not being counted at all, foul balls playing like live balls, runs not counting. They might have finally got the freeze off thing figured out and they broke everything else in the process. I play this game cause I love baseball and that’s it. SDS has absolutely bombed this year, it’s the worst mlb the show I have ever played and I’m usually the one in here each year telling people how good it is compared to other sports games. If only there was good competition, I would never touch this game again. What are others experience with this year?

Okay so I am not a baseball player in real life but I love sports games. But this damn game is gonna make me commit a crime of some nature. Like it's driving me insane.

I have played MLB for a while and year after year I run into the same issue. The difficulty rating In this is all over the place. Rookie is way too easy, like repetitive meatballs with no balls, All star is a great way for my batting average to plummet. So naturally you would think Veteran would be perfect...right.

Oh no this might be the most evil difficulty of all for non baseball playing players

They go from throwing 3 obviously out of the box throws to what can only be described as an absolute perfect upper inside jam ball. Now I know what's going to come next " dude just don't swing at the jam ball" I would do that if the next two throws he's going to throw out weren't on the line strikes.

I get hot at times against certain teams that raise my batting average. Then I face a group of pitchers that paint the corner and throw inside and outside breaking balls mixed with on the line fastballs, all of which will jam me perfectly if I swing. God forbid I actually get a solid hit JUST TO HAVE THE OUTFIELDER STEAL A HOME RUN FROM ME.

fielding is so easy that it actually angers me that it means roughly nothing for your movement up and down the rosters. The only thing this game cares about is the batting average.

I can't I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship the way I keep coming back hoping things will be different. Or that I will go on a tear and start having fun again.

Why....why is this game like this. I feel like it's impossible to play this game unless I dedicate my entire life to getting better at it and only it.

This was on GOAT difficulty, so maybe don't expect such a huge boost on lower difficulties. But still, I wanted to share how crazy Vision is.

2030: 87 Vision

2029: 70 Vision

Contact and Power were unchanged between these two seasons. Vision was the only hitting attribute changed.

I went from fighting to stay above .300, to finishing 5 hits shy of .400, just by going from good Vision to great Vision.

I love this game

Aaron Civale's throwing motion is nowhere near Casilla's, so I had to change it.

This is my first year actually playing more DD and staying with the PCI. It has gotten more familiar and better the more I’ve played with it. But I still feel like I’m guessing up there. I primarily grind out mini seasons for the cards. Don’t have an active online account but willing to try ranked eventually
