Every season, there’s nothing we look forward to more than finally getting a new version of MLB The Show into our fans’ hands. We spend our offseason striving to make the best baseball game possible, aided by an amazing community that buoys us with their support and terrific feedback.

The Show 16 is the culmination of all of that, a labor of love for all of us, and while we’re proud of everything we put in the package this year, our initial online experience has been inconsistent.

We apologize that the excitement of launch and the start of the season has been soured by these issues. Our team is taking every step necessary and working around the clock to stabilize our online servers as soon as possible.

In acknowledgment of the frustration these issues have caused, if you’ve played The Show 16 while connected to PlayStation Network before 1 pm PDT, Friday, April 8, we’re adding 5,000 stubs and 10 standard packs to your account. Stubs will show up automatically by Tuesday, April 12; no redemption required. Packs can be accessed in the “Open Packs” section by Tuesday, April 12 (via “Main Menu > My Locker > Inventory > Open Packs”).

To those of you who’ve reached out to us during this week, and to the many more who we haven’t heard from but who may have been affected, we extend our endless thanks and appreciation for your patience and ongoing support.

Even if i not play online and in DD mode, it's a pretty nice move from SCEA.

Are they only giving out the packs and stubs to people who play online? If so, is conquest considered online play or only head to head/DD?

Either way, its a great gesture from the dev team, thanks in advanced for any clarification.

Anyone who logged in before 1 PM PDT today. Basically, you just had to start up The Show while connected online - you probably didn't even have to create a DD team.

I started up the game this morning around 730 EST for just a few minutes but didn't play any games. Hope this means I'll have some packs/stubs show up between now and Tuesday. I haven't been one of the lucky ones to get theirs yet.

Wow! Very pleased with this 10-pack. The card I got in the box was a Carlos Correa (was shocked because I was expecting a silver...didn't know you could get a gold in the box). Then first pack I pulled Max Scherzer!

Thanks! I was wondering about that as well. All I have played is Conquest.

I haven't gotten my packs yet. I did manage to pull Clayton Kershaw from my MVP edition bonus packs though! Honestly I hate pitching with him though, especially with runners on base...I hate his delivery.

Only card above a bronze I received was a gold Adrian Gonzalez, on the last pack. But some solid Bronze guys tho. Definitely enjoyed getting the packs

Edit: Ah, I see Ramone posted in the official SCEA forums.

It's great that we get some cards. Cool. Wish they'd spent that money on some more servers, but what can you do?

I'm actually glad I bought the 99.99 digital deluxe edition. Normally I would never spend that much on a game, but not only is the game amazing. SCEA San Diego is amazing, they communicate with the community, and acknowledge issues with the game, and bust their *** to fix it. We should all be thanking these guys for the work they've put in on this beautiful game.
