Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show 23 lately, and let me tell you, trophy hunting in this game is a whole different ballgame (pun intended!). I wanted to share my experience and some tips I picked up along the way, for anyone else trying to snag that platinum.
Getting Started: The Easy Ones
First things first, I started knocking out the easy trophies. You know, the ones you practically get just by playing the game. I played through a few exhibition games, tried out different modes like Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty, and just generally messed around.

Stuff like hitting a home run, striking out a batter, turning a double play – these trophies popped pretty naturally. I didn’t even have to think about them, I just focused on playing and enjoying the game.
Grinding it Out: Mode-Specific Trophies
Then came the grind. Some trophies are tied to specific game modes, and this is where I really had to put in the work. For example, the Road to the Show trophies? Man, those took some time. I created a player, worked my way up through the minors, and focused on meeting the specific requirements for each trophy. It was a bit repetitive, but hey, that’s part of the trophy hunting life, right?
- For Diamond Dynasty, I spent hours building my team, playing online matches, and completing collections.
- Some of those online trophies were tough! I faced some seriously skilled players.
- I got beat pretty bad a few times, but eventually, I managed to pull off the wins I needed.
The Tricky Ones: Skill and a Bit of Luck
Now, there were a few trophies that really tested my skills (and my patience!). I remember spending ages trying to hit a home run with a specific player, or steal a base in a crucial situation. These trophies often required a combination of skill, timing, and a little bit of luck.
I watched some YouTube videos, read some guides online, and even asked for help in some forums. Sometimes, you just need a little extra guidance to figure out the best approach.
I kept practicing, and it felt so rewarding to finally see those trophies pop.
The Final Stretch: Platinum Achieved!
After weeks of playing, grinding, and occasionally yelling at my TV, I finally got that last trophy. The platinum popped, and it was such a satisfying feeling. All that hard work paid off!
So, that’s my MLB The Show 23 trophy journey. It was a challenge, but a fun one. If you’re going for the platinum, just remember to be patient, persistent, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Good luck, and happy trophy hunting!
