MLB: The Show 24 just got its update for the opening day of baseball season, and the patch briefly broke the game so bad that entire teams got shuffled into big head mode.
Baseball season has officially begun: It’s opening day for Major League Baseball. MLB The Show 24, which was released on March 15, celebrated the milestone with an update that went live Thursday morning. It’s, uh, not going well. People on social media and in forums are reporting major issues that make the game unplayable — like frequent crashing and freezing. And then there’s the bugs that are just downright silly, like one particularly funny one that’s causing some players to have big heads and little bodies.
One of the most popular ways to play is the card-collecting Diamond Dynasty mode, which puts players in the driver's seat of crafting their dream baseball team from current and past athletes. By collecting cards, much like a traditional trading card game, people collect not only virtual cards but the ability to add that player to their team. For this year's version of the game, many changes have been made to the format based on feedback gained after played around with adding new features which were not quite polished but showed potential.

MLB The Show 24 may not be the best-looking sports game on the market anymore, but San Diego Studio continues to lead the field by pushing the boundaries of the genre overall. This year’s release may feel largely familiar when you’re at the plate, but the expansion of narrative-based experiences in the Storylines section demonstrates how the first-party developer is evolving elsewhere.
