Okay, so, let’s talk about getting those minor league rosters into MLB The Show 24. It’s not as straightforward as you might think, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty smooth sailing. I spent a good chunk of my weekend diving into this, and I’m here to share the nitty-gritty details of my adventure.
First off, I booted up the game and went straight to the roster vault. The plan was simple: find some good, up-to-date rosters that someone else had already put together. There are a bunch of dedicated folks out there who spend hours crafting these rosters, and they’re a lifesaver.
- Downloaded a couple of highly-rated ones to start with. I figured these would be the most reliable.
- Browsed through each roster set. This part takes a bit of time. You’re looking at players, checking their stats, making sure they match up with what you know about the real-life minor leagues.
- Identified the prospects I was most interested in. There are always those few players you’re super excited about, and I wanted to make sure they were accurately represented.
After messing around with a few different rosters, I started noticing some patterns. Certain teams had way more accurate rosters than others. Like, whoever did the White Sox, Nationals, and Brewers rosters seemed like they didn’t even try. But there were some gems in there too.
Then, I stumbled upon the MLB The Show’s Twitter account, @MLBFullMinors. These guys are the real MVPs. They mentioned they were waiting for some names to be approved before they could update everything. But there is another issue because it’s just an in-game name.
Once I had a good base roster, I started making my own tweaks. I moved Tyler Wells to SP for the Orioles, made Craig Kimbrel their CP, and shifted Yennier Cano to RP. For the Red Sox, Jarren Duran took over in right field. Then I moved Oneil Cruz to center field for the Pirates and Dane Myers to left field for the Marlins. It’s all about those little adjustments to make the game feel more realistic.
Oh, and I also noticed that Craig Kimbrel was listed as an RP for the Free Agents, so I fixed that and moved Seranthony Domnguez to CP for the Orioles. Details, details.
Now, the game’s developers announced the final roster update for the 2024 MLB Postseason. They said it includes 90+ player adjustments, but I’m taking that with a grain of salt. We’ll see how accurate those are.
Season and Team Affinity
I also noticed they are promoting Season 3 in Diamond Dynasty mode, arriving August 29th. Plus, they’re hyping up the 2024 Finest Series in Team Affinity Season 4, which sounds pretty cool. I always enjoy checking out the top players from each team.
But the main takeaway from my weekend project is this: with a little patience and some help from the community, you can get those minor league rosters looking pretty sharp in MLB The Show 24. It’s all about finding the right sources, making those small adjustments, and keeping an eye on updates from the community. It is worth to mention that you can chose from 6 special team including NL and AL all star teams and use that team in gameplay.
So, if you’re a baseball fanatic like me, don’t be afraid to dive in and start tinkering. It’s a fun little project, and it makes the game that much more enjoyable. Happy gaming!
