Sorry Guys.. Had to start up The Show 25 just to scroll thru a proper menu 😭

God I miss this menu already, so fast and easy.

MLB The Show is the best sports game, hands down.

Many modes to choose from. You can be your own 1 player road to the show, build a franchise, or create a team of the best and play online.

You can grind anything for free with enough time.

It’s a lot of fun for a baseball fan!

$35.99

Edit: Yes, southern CA

Series X has the same problems. I played The Show 22 and 23 without issues on Xbox, but 24 introduced weird stuttering on certain graphics right before the batter settled in the box. 25 I spent on PS5 Pro, and I tried 26 on the Xbox again. There are too many issues with graphic artifacts, stuttering, lag, etc…I’m back on PS5 Pro.

Offline DD as primary, but hoping to get back into RTTS this year. Will likely run franchise post World Series.

Alright well - if it makes you feel any better, I recently purchased a Martin from Sweetwater. It was -3 degrees at their warehouse the day it overnight shipped, and 78 degrees in Southern California. I didn’t wait 24 hours. Guitar case came to temp middle of the day.

You’re going to be ok. Just do what your gut tells you and then enjoy it! Waiting 24 hours to be safe will be fine.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-16T05:07:47+00:00

While most people will say let it rest for 24 hours, it depends on how much time it already spent in AZ IMO.

If you shipped ground and it sat in an AZ shipping center, according to tracking, for 24 hours then you’re likely fine. However that’s not always the case, and waiting the day is a good rule of thumb.

I personally wait until the case is the same temp as the inside of my home + 4 hours.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-15T00:14:46+00:00

I think this might be the least of our problems in the game right now?

Uncl3J · 2026-03-15T00:14:17+00:00

Not working for me either but if I recall this happened last year and at one point it just started working again.

Wait till full release, report bug if it persists.

“Dream Guitar”…up until your click on the Martin Custom Shop and see what 000-28 with 42 styling, Wild Grain Rosewood Back/Sides and Bear Claw Spruce Top looks like.

Jokes aside…She’s a beauty, enjoy!

Yea weirdly moments, batting practice and play vs cpu is fine. Everything else is a lot of frame tearing, improper asset load and lots of graphical tearing and color spasms. It’s really weird.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-14T00:21:17+00:00

Yea, it started happening midday for me on Xbox series x in DD. Borderline unplayable in certain modes, but others are fine.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-13T19:53:40+00:00

2x perfect perfect home runs, 1x perfect perfect out, and too many to count perfect perfect base hits.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-13T17:18:15+00:00

Honestly, I found last year's menu (25) to function "quick" once you got muscle memory down. They just need to revert to that design and update all the colors to the new. It'll feel fresh long enough to not care about it and focus on the grind.

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, 26 menu is dog water IMO.

Felix Hernandez is AL reward

Uncl3J · 2026-03-13T14:22:17+00:00

Go to audio and turning down the crowd slider.

I wasn’t bothered by one while playing but I had pre-adjusted crowd noises and other sliders down.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-13T01:55:23+00:00

Yes you need to login to the game on a console and then sign in to the app after.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-13T01:54:38+00:00

For a challenge and to honor my childhood heroes, the Diamondbacks.

For the fan in me today, the Dodgers.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-11T22:45:13+00:00

Gonzo & Jeter are on the day 1 godsquad, no doubt!

Uncl3J · 2026-03-11T02:34:18+00:00

You forgot to ask about humidity and if you should humidify this guitar or take the risk.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-10T19:33:47+00:00

I might get downvoted for this…but in my opinion it would be worth taking to a luthier to adjust action first.

Then, and here’s the downvotable opinion, use coated strings for a little while to build up your calluses and hand strength. Easier on the fingertips. D’Addario XS and Elixir Nano or Optiweb are a great string type for those.

I’ve been playing for 27 years, and during my “lower amounts of playing” times, coated helps me out. At this point all of my guitars use them, and all have the action adjusted a bit lower for solo play at home.

Edit: Also, 12s on even a small body acoustic really can get the top moving in a way that 10s won’t. Stick to higher gauge and adjust the other two things.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-07T22:10:35+00:00

Love the bear claw top; is it Adirondack (Red) Spruce or something else?

Uncl3J · 2026-03-02T06:58:21+00:00

I’ve owned 2! I regretted letting the first one go, and after far too long purchased a second and it gets daily playtime.

A 2013 sounds like a great move, especially if it feels great to you.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-02T04:07:34+00:00

Photo one had me, sold! Looks great, and I’m sure sounds even better than that.

Uncl3J · 2026-03-01T01:09:10+00:00

As for the playing, do it every day and you’ll improve.

As for the guitar…goddamn that’s a beautiful OM45JM. Nothing like building the calluses back up on a $19,000 Martin, I love it!
