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.

A gold ritual and gold shin guard were my only golds. A few silver players.

Still hoping to get my gold loyalty reward player.

Excellent move by the team. I still get a fail message whenever someone sends me an invite, but I'm hoping that they'll get things together soon. I got through a game earlier without it crashing, so hopefully that's progress. Those packs will definitely come in handy for me.

Haven't opened anything yet,but their response to this matter is why The Show is the best sports franchise and will continue to be for years to come

I hope other games look at this and see what real developers do when they inconvenience their customers. This is why Mlb the show is the best sports franchise out there.

I got gold Heyward, diamond Machado, silver Zobrist, bronze Joc Pederson. Not too shabby.

If you play RTTS, it's still good to get player cards because you can sell those cards for stubs and buy training points to upgrade your guy. If you play franchise, you can do the same thing and buy sponsorships to increase your budget.

I think this is great, although I am only a DD player until OSFM comes out. In general I don't get into the card games but I did get an Upton, Carlos Gonzalez and Matt Kemp. Still want to see a classic player come across not named Mike Morse

Got a Diamond Bat, Max Scherzer, and Jordan Zimmerman. Best luck I have had with standard packs in two years.
 
# 72 ritterbutzke @ 04/09/16 07:48 AM
Didn't even get a silver in those packs..

Zobrist rakes for me. And a switch hitter to boot.

Love this game. Love what The Show Devs did to ease hurt feelings. They went above and beyond. After working like crazy to get the game out, I feel for them right now having to work like crazy again to get the online experience right. I played yesterday afternoon on DD and servers worked great. No lag. Hope the trend continues.

Rookie Anthony Rizzo

While I didn't make out as good as those who got diamonds, I was lucky enough to get some gold equipment and a silver player. Still a welcome treat for a developer who respects their clients.

All of the players I pulled topped out at bronze, except for a gold Evan Longoria, which was the card in the pack that contained the packs.
 
# 77 NewNapkin @ 04/09/16 10:39 AM
Silver Jose Iglesias (Topper)
Silver Yadier Molina
Silver Tony Watson
Silver Leonys Martin
Silver Billy Hamilton

Then I used my 5k stubs to open 5 more packs:
Silver Santiago Casilla

Fantastic move by the devs to be so generous, but my pack luck is horrid.

ty scea, you guys never sense to surprise, top class organization.
 
# 79 Belkbuzze @ 04/09/16 11:36 AM
Classy move SDS.

Got nothing out of it though.
 
# 80 Mercury112491 @ 04/09/16 11:37 AM
Only gold I got was some shin guards but I got silver:

Xander Bogsrts
Bret Cecil
Albert Pujols
Prince Fielder
Yadier Molina

Team is fairly decent now. Got my overall to 81. Pitching staff is still pretty crap but I do ok with them.

Wish I had a DH spot with all the first basemen I've got now haha.
