Certain issues regarding the first baseman being unable to move in situations have been phased out, including their ability to catch pop-fly balls near the pitcher’s mound. One puzzling fix added is the removal of check swings from beginner difficulty. While it doesn’t do much to improve the overall gaming experience or help beginners adjust before the learning curve steepens, San Diego Studio claims the decision made is to help beginners become accustomed to the game. Check swings on their own are a good indicator of preventing a full swing from going through, avoiding a strike on pitches close to the strike zone.
Co-op mode received minor fixes relating to network errors when one player’s controller becomes disconnected, causing players to see different loading screens upon starting a game. The CPU got a much-needed upgrade when considering higher-ranked players for the team’s 40-man roster. Users remarked how several of their high-end players were left on the sidelines, despite being healthy enough to play. New content featuring the Kansas City Royals was released as part of the Nike City Program,an event that has been available inMLB The Show 22since launch. Custom Leagues also received a minor patch, correcting a problem that would change the in-game difficulty on players despite being set up manually before starting a game.
Along with general gameplay fixes, the Stadium Creator function received the most attention, addressing several concerns. Players reported a soft-lock issue when attempting to enter a stadium after receiving Download Failed message, while the grass in stadiums would sometimes appear as white. San Diego Studio implemented more prop improvements, and certain items should now display properly while in creation mode. Not included in the update is streamer CBrev’sground-rule double glitch inMLB The Show 22that cost him a ranked online game, but Game Update 5 could address it sometime in the future.
