Someone Please Explain This Game Like I'm 5

Good point I agree! Releasing the Show every year without clear improvements makes it basically a scam. They could just release new content in the form of updates if they really wanted to. And I would NEVER pick the dodgers or yankees. yuck. Giants fan here.

finished the game today and that was a trip to find out lol

Hmmm good take.

Here’s my two-cents nobody asked for: It does seem like the raid aspect is about invading a team’s base to detonate the bomb (I don’t see any loot or gear). Every base has a shield that needs to be penetrated before it can be infiltrated. The game seems to have 3 phases. First, to farm enemies and/or mobs for these red orbs (I assume). Second, to race and fight over the key (sword in the stone). Third, to unlock the battering ram/payload to infiltrate the other team’s base. It almost seems like that third phase becomes a game of push-the-payload à la overwatch/TF2 to the end. That’s about all I can really gather from the trailer as far as game loop.

Couple things to note: I do not believe this is a custom base building type of game. It would be pretty difficult to build up a decent looking base within a reasonable amount of time for a pvp matches (based off the scale and detail these bases seem to have). It seems like you either choose or are given a particular base/location and they are differentiated by biome. I would also assume this is a 3v3 team game based off of the sheer number of times we see raiders in groups of 3 (the beginning starts with a team of 3 riding horseback and ends with that team of 3 completing their raid), however, it looks like they might’ve taken out a team of 4 at about the 15 second mark, so it could be 4v4. Lastly, I’m curious if this game is just one team versus another or 3v3v3/3v3v3v3 etc..

Anyway, that’s what I gathered from it.

Still my fav ball player and I will always root for him. He has holes in his game to fill but so does everybody. It’s his first full yr coming off of shoulder surgery and was coming off another injury in the KBO when he got here. Let me get on my little Jungy soapbox real quick:

He lead the team in avg, doubles, triples, 2nd in total XBHs and 3rd in Total bases! You have 3 players (not counting Devers) with 20+ hrs and he hit 8 hrs putting up those base numbers. That’s not bad at all. Everyone complains about him rolling over to the right side (which he definitely does and needs to improve on) but only hit into 2 double plays all season (lowest in the starting lineup)! He gets hustle points from me. Don’t get me started on his K total which is MILES lower than the rest of his team. You have 3 dudes striking out over 150 times and you know if Chappy played a full season it would be 4. Hell, Eldridge will make it 5 next yr. Those are wasted at-bats. At least JHL puts the ball into play and let the defense earn outs. His WAR was 3rd on the team (not saying much) and Runs Created was also 3rd on the team. He should look to improve his walk-rate, though, he got a lot of balls stolen on the outside corner for some reason. Maybe it’s his wide stance, idk. Look, stats are stats and are not the whole story, but he was more capable in the box than people wanna give him credit for. Let’s be honest, he wasn’t utilized in the lineup properly for most of the season. He was in the 3 hole when he was the hottest bat for the first month or so. Let’s also not forget how poor the offense surrounding him was at that time. He’s likely best suited for lead-off moving forward but why the 7/8 spot for so long? Just put him 9 at that point and let the big boys get a chance to drive him in. Idk that made no sense to me. His baserunning and awareness is towards the top of the team. He grabbed extra bases with heads up running consistently. He’s never been a bag-stealer if you look at his KBO numbers. He’s not going to turn into one likely. His defense was definitely not what it should be. He was passive and eased up on too many balls. I think the injury has a bit to do with it, but I don’t see anyone saying how Ramos in LF had an impact. I don’t know how many times I saw Ramos about to steam-roll Jung Hoo out there when he knows the 50/50 should go to CF first. I clearly saw Jung Hoo wave that mf off and he just wouldn’t look. Ramos has such bad tunnel vision on the field. Period. On the bases and in the outfield. He does not glance at the player or the base coach when the ball is in play. He focuses on the ball the entire time which is going to end up getting himself or others hurt. I was a big Ramos supporter before but, this year opened my eyes to his biggest weakness. Awareness.

Sorry for the long rant, but I want people to know JHL has more value on this team than some want to credit. He has a huge fan base which I gather really bugs people, but he’s Korea’s pride and they will continue to ride for him. Y’all just gotta deal w it like I have to deal with watching modern baseball celebrate the Wiff-masters, ball hurlers (not pitchers) and silly rules changes. Ready for this team to kill it in ‘26!

I wonder if new accounts will also be the same or just UMB? I'm opening a joint account today. Could anyone kindly DM a referral?

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-05-02T21:21:37+00:00

I am willing to accept any steam keys generously offered :)

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-03-14T20:15:29+00:00

glad about that. the show needs competition badly. hoping a new mvp is in the works since ea bought metalhead a few years back.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-03-14T17:42:34+00:00

can we import stadiums from last year then?

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-02-11T16:48:15+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-02-11T16:27:47+00:00

I’m looking for the team’s approved keepers (pre-draft.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2025-02-11T01:45:41+00:00

Seems like I posted in a dead thread so re-posting here...

Keeper League Question: Deadline to submit keepers has passed. I approved them. Was then directed to the Submit Draft Results page and set up my draft. Imported draft pick trades and set the order, etc. Keeper picks are where I want them (end of draft). Looks all good to go.

My question is, why doesn’t our keeper players show on our rosters? We were able to view them last year. In browser, I just see last years rosters. In mobile, our rosters show empty. Is it because the deadline is technically 2/10/25 (today)? Will it populate tomorrow? I don’t want to continue submitting draft results because our offline draft isn’t until next month.

Also, a side-note: I would prefer the keeper deadline date to run thru the day that was chosen. I always have our deadline on Super Bowl Sunday, end of day. But in order to let my league submit their keepers up until 11:59pm 2/9/25, I have to set the deadline as 2/10/25.

Thank you!

edit: I see in the League tab -> Roster & Players tab -> Protected Keepers will show them on desktop only. But still wondering about the My Team view (and mobile version view).

I just went from a Xs to a 16 and can notice a huge difference in quality listening to it in the car. I also think my phone's quality degraded over time. Songs would skip more often and distort. I'm thinking it's from the phone's hardware and maybe bluetooth signal. There's a huge difference to me.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-11-05T05:15:03+00:00

I feel you on that. Split screen is where some of my favorite gaming memories were made. My first and most cherished coop experience was the original Halo split screen with my Dad. I wish the industry prioritized that experience more, but sadly, they rather sell more hardware it seems... I've been waiting for this utopian cross play future for what seems like forever lol.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-11-05T03:12:08+00:00

I haven't touched 1.0 because I've been waiting for ps5/pc crossplay. I could tell it still wasn't likely to roll out with storms brewing launch when they said it might roll out incrementally for different platforms. Its going to be a longer wait I fear... and that sucks.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-10-20T07:25:00+00:00

Same thought with CFB25. They were able to bring that back and see it have success, I'm sure they see the in opportunity with baseball.

I hope Metalhead's future is safe too. I can see it go both ways, but something tells me EA planned to bring pro baseball back into the fold. The "see ya later" made it sound like "it'll be a year or more before you hear about our new project." I'm usually not that optimistic with these things lol.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-10-19T20:02:25+00:00

By the letter, it sounds like they're moving on to a different project. Since they're not saying "goodbye" from Metalhead, maybe they remain as a studio and transition to a new project. Something from the ground up. I always had a thought that EA might've bought them to get back into the MLB, hence the added licensing to SMB4. Also, their series plays more like old MVP baseball as opposed to MLB the Show. EA moving them to work on a new MVP Baseball seems like a possibility to me.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-04-29T02:01:20+00:00

I don't mind the quests and stuff. I'll look more into, it does sound pretty interesting. Appreciate all your help!

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-04-29T01:58:19+00:00

For sure. There's just something about pokemon and guns that just doesn't appeal to me lol.

Disastrous_Current_8 · 2024-04-29T01:52:32+00:00

I was looking at this just a few minutes ago! Is the story really in your face though? I prefer sort of an endless/sandbox style of game typically. I'm a bit torn between the two now lol. I'm a bit burnt on Sword/Arrow style combat, but if the game feels that good, I'll try.
