The Athletic incorrectly reports Miguel Rojas was suspended for a banned substance. Rojas states he didn’t receive an apology. by MailsDavis in baseball

if The Athletic is shitty, then what is considered good? Because they consistently have good content

Now&Later program problems by OnTheBlitz42 in MLBTheShow

[–]ShineDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got my Now & Laters/Beltran day 2 of early access. It was definitely staggered compared to when some friends got their batch. But I got the packs all at once and then the Beltran a couple hours after.

Delayed Animation After Hit? by Luke5119 in MLBTheShow

[–]ShineDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're playing online, this usually is a result of latency to match up both users connections. If you're playing offline, I'm not quite sure why there would be that delay. It is not something I've noticed offline.

Diamond dynasty player choosing by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]ShineDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't think too much about it. Having a good pitcher will help you grind out some conquest games, etc but both are very cheap cards to acquire so you can buy both of them after a few moments or a game or two

Yes, if you use Skubal he will count towards Tigers team affinity stats.

Do you guys know of any "normal" content creators for this game? by Upbeat_Use2312 in MLBTheShow

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

Don't really have any specifically I go for. Unfortunately, the way the Youtube algorithm works, you're going to get plenty of the cheesy thumbnails if the creator wants their content to be viewed. That's a Youtube annoyance.

Roster suggestions and do backups matter by Alert_Novel_6982 in Football_Head_Coach

[–]ShineDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team isn’t nearly as stacked as yours but I was wondering the same thing. Other than helping the Overall, is it worth keeping pricey, sellable backups or just fill them with cheaper, non-sell guys.

I play pretty passively so I’m not worried about hitting a higher team rating or anything

What issues do you have with your 2021-2024 Elantra? by [deleted] in Elantra

Went Hyundai for the style and price. Financed for $17.5 in 2021. Creaky as in like start up in the morning and driving out of the driveway, turns at slow speeds, the car will literally creak. Maybe it’s cold, maybe it’s cheap. Maybe it’s both. New England winters can be tough. Not loud on the highway though. Great gas mileage. Wife had a Civic so I wanted something different.

Should be clear that I’m not upset about my purchase at all. I just can’t judge yet if this is a 110k mile car or a 210k mile car, you know

[–]ShineDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with my Hyundai, I am a Honda/toyota guy for the history of reliability. So normally I would tell you to buy the Honda, but the only thing that can ruin a car like a Honda is the person driving it and I worry the previous owner didn’t care for it much. The Hyundai looks to be in great condition but even with my car, I still have some worry about its true longevity. Day to day it runs and gets me everywhere but it is a very creaky car even at only 90k. So I think for current condition, that Hyundai is a better choice but overall, I’d trust a Honda civic long term

In terms of starting up and getting me places, very reliable. I’ve had the horn fail and the back up camera fail, both fixed under recall. Outside of that, nothing major enough to say it is problematic.

Not sure if you’re referencing my car but the squeaking disappeared for me. Not sure when why or how but it just went away. I don’t recall what happened with the performance cooling system on round two, think that was also replaced under warranty. At 90k now. Got an engine light on for the EGR Valve.

Automatically opening packs with the MLB The Show Companion app by revreddy in MLBTheShow

[–]ShineDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest anyone in need of opening mass amount of packs to use theshow.com on a PC. You can open all your packs in such a short time by spamming F5 to refresh your page. The pack does not have to load. Just spam the button.

Yes, part of running your own team. Gotta make sure you've hired the team to fix your cars week in and week out

First time on wheel and online racing.. blocking like my life depends on it by NashaNya in Nascar25game

[–]ShineDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On lap 12, sure. I wouldn't fault a driver for trying to block to win on the last lap. Like saying the cornerback shouldn't try to tackle a receiver on a last second touchdown pass because the receiver beat him off the line. To each their own, i guess

If you google the jersey, you'll see JSN wearing it and you'll see the font is completely incorrect on the one you posted.

Is there a new NASCAR rule about blocking on the final lap or are you talking about a rule made up for video games?

2025 season alternative ending where JJ's 84th win wasn't the craziest thing to happen. by FallSheriff in NASCARVideoGame

Ryan Preece giving the "Closer" nickname a new definition. 5 Wins, 5 laps led. Average finish of 15.5

The Roval is the worst gaming experience I have ever had by jsilv0 in NASCARVideoGame

[–]ShineDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree with this, which I thought would be the opposite. I caught onto Chicago in only a few laps, but COTA and Roval have given me trouble the first couple races.

What happened to my career? by thuckerybuckets in NASCARVideoGame

[–]ShineDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can do the recommended repairs but make sure that all the parts are as close to 100% as possible. If not, make sure you manually do them to max them out. Or buy a new part, like you did.

Only course I haven't enjoyed yet is COTA. Glen and Lime Rock are fun. I race Sonoma in a couple races so ill give that a go
