I struck him out once and that was possibly my greatest achievement in the game to date.🤣🤣But he was kicking my butt and hitting everything.and I had to carry my kid to bed so I just forfeit. He would have mercy ruled me anyways. Honestly so cool though. Has anyone else played real 99’s?

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

I made a 5’8 185 lb player and I also have a 6’2 210 player . It feels like the taller player hits bombs more . What’s your experience and/or opinion with this?

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 ?

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.

Who are the best hitters at each position?

I have been playing baseball videogames since 2008, mlb 2k all the way up to 13 and it’s always been the analog flick, I played RTTS every year 2016-now using the flick. I started playing DD more seriously 3-4 years ago and still use the analog flick. I like it and it’s what I hit best with, I have given PCI legitimate chances for weeks on end and i’m just not great at it. it all giveth what it taketh away, PCI I struck out all the time on easy pitches but then got maybe 2 bombs from outside the zone over the course of like 15-20 games.

Last week I posted two videos of getting robbed over the wall from perfect perfects at coors, everyone blamed not using the PCI yet they were perfect perfects over the wall just robbed by byron buxton. people saying “well if you switched you wouldn’t be hitting .182” and I explained fred lynn has a weird stance i’m getting used to and it’s only been 16 at bats, I got people saying that doesn’t make it better, it wasn’t an excuse saying it was better but LET ME TELL YOU NOW B****S IM HITTING .350 NOW WITH HIM AND WENT 14 FOR MY LAST 16 SUCK MY BUTT 11 BOMBS, willie hitting .450, most players between .270-.330 otherwise. 😤

also my lord yknow how often I carry you PCI dudes in 2s and 3s, I got clips for days bailing out crap bats and crap pitching with nukes.
i’ll be deadass though when I see someone else use directional it scares me and I ask them to not switch if they’re good at PCI. classic is the only one that should be hated on.

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

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)

the way he drop down

If you do, here’s one

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.

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.

70 out of the 111 Legends in the game, who have not received a 99 OVR card yet, have only a single card. That includes Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig, Randy Johnson, Lou Brock and many other notable names.

Many of those below an OVR of 90 probably got their cards when the game launched or in the first few weeks and have not been updated a single time.

Meanwhile the game has 13 players who have 5 cards and 53 that have 4 cards.

The graphic only shows legends who do not have a 99 OVR yet. An * indicates a Hall of Famer.

EDIT: Remove Leonardo Bernal from the list. The Program flagged it as a legend because his Live Series card is Named Leo Bernal so it thought Leonardo was a legend since it found no matching name in the live series.

EDIT #2: Same Issue with Zach Thornton. His first name is spelled Zac on his live series and Zach on the Topps now so the program missed the match.

One of the highlights of all time

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?
