One of the options MLB is considering is a universal DH this year.

If this happens I would love to see Sony add this option for the game. It’s actually something I’ve wanted for years.

That is an option in the game already.

That's how I have my franchise set up. DH is universal.

i could live with this for this year only. I think though a lot of people will agree with me, but simply put - baseball with a universal DH is not baseball. The baseball the American League plays now, while it has its appeal, is not baseball.

Glad The Show has the option though.

Since I was a child ( a long time ago ) baseball has had the DH with the Tribe, so that's all I know. So to say that's not baseball, that's a stretch since it's been there for something like 50 years. I prefer the DH.

I meant for exhibition mode as well. We can’t currently toggle DH on for that mode.

But having basically an automatic out in the 9 hole is? Pitchers hitting is stupid.

If you paid money to sit in the stands to watch a game would you rather see a guy who is paid to swing the bat or pitchers who rarely take BP embarrass themselves the majority of the time. I’ll take the hitter anytime. All of the so-called “strategy” like bunting and double switching the NL offers is not quite as exciting as a David Ortiz or Frank Thomas taking their cuts.
