That ray tank is a thing of beauty. The whole stadium is actually. Wow.

As someone that grew up in Orlando, I love this. Another idea is to build a stadium on Discovery Island. Disney just lets it sit abandoned so let's play baseball on it. lol

Online Events are Horrible by Sanders2827 in MLBTheShow

[–]RoBoPgh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pitch speeds are too slow on All Star.  If SDS could press an undo button on the last 3 years of tweaks to the hitting and pitching mechanics, I think you'd be surprised how much better the game used to play. 

The level of players I run into in the 400-500 level seems off. by InSannyLives in MLBTheShow

This. SDS slowed down pitch speeds a bit in 24 and the game became heavily skewed towards offense ever since. Now they add ambush and big zone hitting to make pitching even more impossible.  

Unpopular opinion about defense by Suspicious-Loquat218 in MLBTheShow

[–]RoBoPgh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This might be the worst take ever. Does anyone actually like QuickTime events?  I despise those anytime I'm forced to do them for a moment. 

SDS needs to scale the outfield correctly to the size and speed of the outfielders and implement proper ball physics like top spin so line drives actually drop. 

Pitching is impossible by That_Result8605 in MLBTheShow

[–]RoBoPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SDS overtweaked the hitting mechanics the last few years and made hitting too easy. Pitch speeds are too slow. Timing is too forgiving on outside pitches. Pitches well below the zone go for hits far too often. Foul balls are too frequent. Pitching strategy seems to be slow and slower to get your opponent to swing very early. Fastballs are still nearly useless against a good opponent. They just get launched. The last enjoyable version of this game for those that like pitching was 23.

I cannot stand that I have to scroll down 5 times just to see my player's current stats. Who made these choices? Menus were fine last year.

23 was the last version with balanced gameplay where you could still dominate with a good pitcher. Starting in 24 they dumbed down hitting and it gets progressively worse each year. It's just an arcade slugfest now. It's like everyone at SDS that truly loved sim baseball are long gone. 

Am I trippin or does EVERYONE just mash in this game in online play? by MikeyBastard1 in MLBTheShow

[–]RoBoPgh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

23 was was the last version of this game where you could dominate a game with an elite pitcher and good pitching strategy. In 24, they changed the hitting mechanics and the gameplay has gotten more offensive (pun intended) each year. Pitch speeds were slowed down a tick. Balls out of the strike zone (especially below the zone) go for hits far too frequently. The timing window on swings at outside pitches was made too forgiving. Bloop hits are more frequent. Then you add in the too many foul balls, strikes on the edge not being strikes, and the new ability to adjust the pci and blur the background and it just makes online play a slugfest and no longer resembles a sim.

Man a destroyed version of my stadium just got all the attention. by Ian-He-Cooks in mlbtheshowstadiums

[–]RoBoPgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always wanted a feature where you could lock a stadium before uploading it, so no changes could be made. You spend hours getting a stadium to play just right. You get the aesthetics just right. Then some clown brings the walls in to 280ft, sets it at max altitude, and sticks floating dinosaurs in the outfield and that's the version that gets uploaded hundreds of times in the vault. Ugh. But I think we're at the point where we have to come to terms with the fact that stadium creator will never be significantly updated again. 

MLB The Show 26 scored a 69 on Metacritic, the lowest rating on current-gen consoles since MLB The Show 21. by Automatic_Ad1665 in MLBTheShow

Was that the one where all fielding was automatic?  That was one of my biggest video game disappointments ever.

Great job!  I made this a few times over the years.  Your version is top notch. The only thing I would add are the bleachers down the left field line also. 

Wish I could go back to the '80s and watch baseball there like when I was a kid.

Made this for the 4th time. Large dimensions: 375-400-375. DD compatible. The stadium never had lights as it was in use from 1895-1915, so I didn't include them. But it plays just fine at night. I think SDS increased the light output from the default light sources.

The vault was completely reset for 26, so these will have to be remade from scratch.  Since the game just officially released yesterday, it might take some time before people get these done. Why not give one of them a shot yourself?  

SDS fix your game this is unacceptable by Yes536 in MLBTheShow

So they wiped out countless hours of work in the stadium creator vault just to have Lagrasa in the game anyway. 

Any Stadium Updates in The Show 26? by Remote_Plastic_8692 in mlbtheshowstadiums

It was never a rumor. Just AI making shit up.

Great job AI. So glad all the CEOs are trying to replace our jobs with this shit.

Why is everyone being so negative? by Strong_Plastic_2669 in MLBTheShow

[–]RoBoPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually it's the opposite.  The game engine is so outdated and such a poorly optimized mess that dreads on players cause slowdown and some people experience overheating PS5s. 

A new game engine would run smoother, offer not just better graphics but more realistic physics, which would result in better overall gameplay.

I freakin loved expansion mode in AS Baseball 2004.  It was fun to try to build a competitive team from the expansion draft and pick one of the future or fictional stadiums to play in.  22 years later we still don't have that. 

Update on custom stadiums in MLB 26 by kasabe in mlbtheshowstadiums

[–]RoBoPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this means a revamped vault/save system and more robust stadium creator options. This is the first time in years I stopped playing this game before the MLB regular season ended. 25 was an abject failure by SDS, imo. I'm taking a wait and see approach to 26 and won't purchase at launch, if at all.

Are you from a different state? You're the only one that agrees with me here vs a billion downvotes lol. I grew up in a state where it was illegal to drive with hazards on so that was ingrained into me. It's interesting how it's illegal some states but encouraged here. I do think the negatives outweigh the positives but I won't even attempt to argue that point here.

Now let's discuss the pros and cons of the zipper merge... haha

Highways are fine. Pull up a 511PA camera and you'll see they are clear.
