Thank you. I always appreciate it when you choose to address my question. I 100% agree that Pack Heavy isn't as egregious in a true Power Creep setting. In regards to realism, I would prefer they maintain more consistency when assigning Attributes. I know most others want Fun and Juiced Cards, but I would prefer accurate cards based on a players specific year, peak, prime, career, milestone, etc.
If Bugs Bunny and Darth Vader were out in the outfield with Mickey Mantle, it’d be completely unrealistic. But putting an actual professional baseball player next to Mantle falls under something called "magical realism," that works perfectly in the game’s context. The game is a simulation and also an educational tool, so keeping this balance of realism and creativity is important. For those who want something over-the-top, they might prefer MLB Slugfest. But MLB The Show is about staying grounded while adding just enough magic to keep things fun and engaging.
I have been watching your videos since the middle of Season 1 in 2024 DD terms. I enjoy them and have found many helpful since this was my first year diving into DD. You have mentioned your journalism background lately. I am the editor of a weekly in Iowa. 😅
Do you think they should stick strictly to a theme or two per inning (I’m assuming they are using innings as name for the content drops)? For example only using “Rookie” cards to launch the game and only dropping that category of card until the next inning then doing only “breakout” cards for the 2nd inning. Thanks for the your insight and content.
If they used historical accuracy, then Nolan Ryan would only have 3 pitches. He threw a fastball, change-up and a curve. Also they like to give sinkers to pitchers that never threw them
Hi Kenny, Do you think if MLB 25 is another Dud, do you think sony Lets another company chime in and make a sim baseball Video game? Im Mainly a Franchise Mode player and they obviously could care less about Franchise

Toni Stone hitting a 450 foot bomb is about as realistic as Bugs Bunny playing left field, just saying

I’m always curious what is everyone’s main line up, George Brett is cool. What is everyone’s final lineup ?

Thanks for answering my question! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question KD! Hope you have a wonderful 2025 and I look forward to see what you have cooking for the year!
2:57 it's nowhere near finished at this point. video game companies wouldn't have "crunch" if games were done 3 mos. ahead of release, lol
I wonder when MLB the show will make 2 games one for online and 1 for offline.
never, this would literally make them lose money lol
Who is your godsquad 1B though? Your cam was covering it. Also why Paul O’Neill at DH?
I’m cycling some players at 1B right now. And O’Neill is my favorite player of all time
