So, I’ve been grinding away at MLB The Show 23 lately, like a lot of you, I’m sure. I have to admit, I was really struggling for a while there. Hitting felt impossible, and my win-loss record was, well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. I started to wonder if everyone else was secretly using some kind of cheat or hack, you know?
I spent hours combing through forums and watching videos, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I even started to question if some of these guys I was playing online were legit. Were they really that good, or was something fishy going on? I only suspected that a few opponents might be cheating, but I wasn’t sure, so I did some research on this topic. It turns out that, while there aren’t any traditional “cheat codes” for MLB The Show 23, there’s this one glitch that some players have been exploiting.
This glitch, from what I understand, is all about getting diamond cards in Diamond Dynasty. People talk about it like it’s some kind of secret weapon. Apparently, after you finish a Showdown, you get this “success” message, and somehow, that’s where the glitch comes in. The details are a bit fuzzy, but the idea is that you can use it to get a bunch of good cards without really earning them. I’m not tech-savvy enough to understand how it works, but it sounded pretty broken.
My Own Struggle and Solution
Anyway, back to my own struggles. I decided to take a step back and really think about my approach. I realized I was swinging at everything, trying to hit home runs every time. Classic rookie mistake, right?
Here’s what I did:
- Lowered the Difficulty: Yeah, I swallowed my pride and dropped the difficulty down to Rookie. It felt a bit embarrassing at first, but you know what? It helped. A lot. I started making solid contact, and my confidence started to come back.
- Became a Patient Hitter: I started taking the first pitch or two, just watching the ball and getting a feel for the pitcher’s timing. This made a huge difference. I started getting into better counts, and the hits started to come.
- Focused on Collecting Cards: As you play through Programs and Challenges, you start to rack up cards. I realized I could collect these cards in Diamond Dynasty to earn Stubs. I started collecting players, equipment, uniforms – you name it. It’s a slow grind, but it’s a legit way to build up your team without spending real money or resorting to glitches.
Look, I’m not saying I’m suddenly a pro or anything, but these changes have made a world of difference. I’m actually winning games now, and more importantly, I’m having fun again. It’s a good feeling to know that you can improve through practice and strategy, without having to rely on some shady exploit.
So, if you’re struggling in MLB The Show 23, don’t give up! Take it from me, a guy who was ready to throw his controller through the TV. Lower the difficulty, be patient at the plate, and grind those collections. You might surprise yourself with how much you can improve. And hey, if you’re thinking about trying to cheat, just remember, it’s way more satisfying to win fair and square. Trust me.
