Okay, so you guys know I’m all about finding little edges in gaming, right? Well, recently I got super into MLB The Show, and naturally, my brain started looking for ways to, shall we say, “optimize” my gameplay. I’m not talking about straight-up hacking or anything like that, just little tweaks and tricks to get a leg up.
First thing I did was dive deep into the game’s settings. I mean, really deep. I went through every single option, tweaking sliders, adjusting camera angles, messing with batting and pitching interfaces. It was tedious, I’m not gonna lie. Took me a couple of hours just to get everything feeling right for me. But trust me, it’s worth it. You gotta find what works for your play style.
Then came the YouTube rabbit hole. I spent a good chunk of an afternoon watching videos of pro MLB The Show players, seeing how they approach the game. I picked up a bunch of tips on things like reading pitches, timing my swings, and even just little things like how they hold the controller. Sounds silly, but it made a difference!
Next, I started experimenting with custom rosters. Now, this is where things got a little more interesting. I found a few community-created rosters online that had significantly boosted player stats. I’m talking guys with 99 everything! I loaded one of these up into Franchise mode and, well, let’s just say my team became pretty unstoppable. It was fun for a while, but it kinda took the challenge out of the game, ya know?
I also messed around with the game’s training modes. Specifically, I focused on hitting. I spent hours and hours in batting practice, just trying to perfect my timing and plate discipline. I’d try to recognize the different pitch types and react accordingly. It’s repetitive, but it definitely helped me improve my hitting in actual games.
And finally, I started paying closer attention to the game’s marketplace. I learned how to snipe cards at low prices and then flip them for a profit. It’s a slow grind, but it’s a good way to earn extra stubs (the in-game currency) that you can use to improve your team.
So, did I find some magical “cheat” code that made me instantly dominate MLB The Show? Nope. It was all about putting in the time, experimenting, and finding what worked for me. And honestly, that’s half the fun of gaming, right?
- Tweaked game settings.
- Watched pro player videos.
- Experimented with custom rosters.
- Focused on hitting training.
- Mastered the game’s marketplace.

Look, I’m not saying any of this is revolutionary. But these little tweaks and strategies definitely helped me improve my game and have more fun with MLB The Show. So if you’re looking to get a little edge, give some of these a try. And let me know in the comments if you have any other tips or tricks to share!
