SDS must be happy that they can shelve 99 Yandy and Caminero from us for now...cowards.

So while eating lunch today I decided to see if I could find my post about this topic last year and I did. These, once again, are Legends who do not have 99 OVR cards (yet)

• The First Screenshot is where we stand now on Oct 19, 2026 (109 Players)
• The Second Screenshot is where we stood on Oct 31st of 2025 (53 Players)

109 legend players on the list in 2026 compared to 53 in 2025. I remember that I thought that 53 was a lot of players last year.

I then got curious to see which players appear on both lists, which obviously means, at least to me, that SDS does not value these players as much since they were left to linger two years in a row.

I'm new to the online MLB world. I've played a couple matches. I usually play through even when getting beat 10-1 but when I get an early lead other players seem to quit right away.

Is the etiquette to bail early so others get more matches? Are there penalties for quitting? (I think there should be before the 5th)

Consistency is killing me and it’s the main reason why I stay around 600-700. I’ll hit bombs and score 10 runs a game, but then I won’t hit anything for a few games and I’ll be lucky to get 2 runs. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I'm asking in advance. You have more than enough time.

As John Donaldson, I want to try him out in left field and when things get sticky throw him in as a pitcher. Is that possible to do in game on DD ranked games ?

Not really excited about it with Weekend classic right around the corner. I don’t wanna be stuck playing on legend as I’m not that great at hitting. Played 2 games so far and had way too many strike outs. Luckily my opponents were all that great either even and I managed to atleast win one game.

How many of you out there play weekend classics on +900 rating? What can I expect to see online as I prepare my brain mentally lol

the way he drop down

I will make a comment posting the video, I had to put it in a frame by frame. I was rewatching it, and now I just think I got on base here through a bad call. I also guess if the AI team doesn't challenge, they won't show a cutscene or they had no option to challenge.

Why do I play my best when I am hungover or sick? Lol it makes no sense. My only 6-0 WC run was the day after I got back from my best friends 4 day bachelor party. I felt like straight ass but had my best ever run in ranked. Yesterday was my brother in law’s birthday, drinks were had to put it lightly. I am extremely hungover and was like let me jump into a ranked game. P5 Jon Don on legend. I almost quit out, but ended up lighting him up and winning by 7. I have put up double digit runs on legend only a small handful of times. Today was one of them.

There has to be some reason for this. Anyone else play their best when you probably should be at your worst?

I don’t wanna know how bad that game was for him.

Like I come set 99.9% of the time. Even when no one is on base. This is generally what happens in Baseball IRL.

And when it doesn’t, if you catch a hitter on a bad day and quick pitch without someone on base, the benches might clear. That’s how serious coming set is.

Because even when no one is on base, it’s close to cheating.

Then, it LITERALLY is cheating when runners are on base.

I’ve played 11of 12 iterations of MLB the Show since PS4 and just don’t understand.

Like it’s actually an illegal action in game, why are players able to continue to do it?

This is absolutely unacceptable. I got kicked due to being in my menu for too long. All of my pause timer was used for considering managerial decisions, and not to waste time or give myself a break. This needs to change in some way shape or form. What a disgrace to the active thinking player base that actually plays the game strategically.
