Okay, so I’ve been messing around with MLB The Show 24, and let me tell you, changing a player’s position is not as straightforward as you might think. At first, I was like, “Yeah, I’ll just move this guy over here, no big deal.” Boy, was I wrong.
First, I jumped into my franchise mode, ready to start shifting players around like I was some kind of baseball puppet master. I picked my team, the good old Dodgers, because, well, who doesn’t love the Dodgers? Then I found the player I wanted to move. Let’s call him “Slugger” because I’m not about to drop real names here, gotta keep some mystery, you know?
Initial Attempts
- Navigated to the roster screen. Simple enough, right?
- Clicked on Slugger’s profile. Still with me? Good.
- Scanned through all the options, but there it was, plain as day: “Change Position.” Thought I hit the jackpot.
But here’s where it got tricky. I clicked on “Change Position,” and it gave me a list of, like, every position on the field. I’m thinking, “Okay, cool, I’ll just put him wherever.” So, I moved Slugger from left field to, let’s say, shortstop, just for kicks. Saved my changes, feeling pretty good about myself.
The Problem
Then I started playing a game. And let me tell you, Slugger at shortstop was… not great. It was like watching a baby deer try to walk for the first time, but that baby deer also had to catch a 100 mph fastball. It wasn’t pretty. His fielding stats were trash, he was making errors left and right, and I was pretty sure I saw the virtual fans booing him. Okay, maybe I imagined that last part, but still, it was bad.
Figuring It Out
So, back to the drawing board I went. I dug around online, read some forums, and realized I had to be a bit more strategic about this. You can’t just throw a guy anywhere and expect him to be a superstar. There’s this whole thing about primary and secondary positions, and player ratings, and I don’t even know what else. It’s complicated.
I learned that you gotta look at a player’s attributes. Like, if a guy’s got a cannon for an arm but is slower than molasses, he’s probably not gonna be your star shortstop. Makes sense, right? So, I started experimenting. I moved Slugger to first base instead, where his lack of speed wouldn’t kill me, and his hitting could still shine. And guess what? It worked! He wasn’t making crazy plays, but he was holding his own, and that’s all I needed.
Success!
Finally, I managed to change a player’s position without completely ruining my team. It took some trial and error, a bit of research, and a whole lot of patience, but I did it. So, if you’re gonna try to change positions in MLB The Show 24, just remember: it’s not as easy as it looks. You gotta think about it, plan it out, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll end up with a lineup that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out.
