Alright, so, I’ve been keeping a close eye on “MLB The Show 24” lately, especially since the next roster update’s coming up. Mark your calendars, it’s set for May 17th. I heard that the roster update may come either Friday 4/5 or more likely the following.
First off, I got into the game and checked my profile, making sure the ‘Cross Play’ option was turned on. It’s a must-do if you want to link your accounts across different platforms. The initial setup process has multiple steps: I created an MLB The Show account on a website.
Now, about those player updates. Man, there’s a bunch. Like, Tyler Wells is now stepping up as SP for the Orioles, and Craig Kimbrel? That dude’s their new CP. And for the Red Sox fans out there, Jarren Duran’s your new RF. It’s wild seeing how these changes shake things up. These were big news on the forums, so I made sure to double-check them in the game.
- Orioles Updates:
- Tyler Wells is now SP.
- Craig Kimbrel is now CP.
- Yennier Cano is now RP.
- Red Sox Update:
- Jarren Duran is now RF.
- Dodgers Update:
- Evan Phillips is now RP.
- Phillies Updates:
- Jose Alvarado is now CP.
- Craig Kimbrel is now RP.
- Rangers Update:
- Jose Leclerc is now CP.
- Cubs Updates:
- Adbert Alzolay is now RP.
- Michael Fulmer is now CP.
- Angels Update:
- Jimmy Herget is now RP.
- Rays Update:
- Erasmo Ramirez is now RP.
I also noticed some buzz around new legends being added. I saw some chatter online about Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez possibly making a comeback in the game. And Barry Bonds? There’s a rumor he might be added since he’s gonna be on Topps cards again in 2025. How cool would that be?
I spent a good chunk of my evening yesterday diving deep into these changes. Comparing the old stats with the new ones, seeing how the players’ roles have changed and it’s pretty exciting, to say the least. I made a simple table for Shohei Ohtani’s H/9 rating:
- Player: Shohei Ohtani
- Team: Angels
- Change: H/9
- New Rating: 98
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the upcoming “MLB The Show 24” roster update. Can’t wait to see how these changes play out in the game. Gonna be some interesting matches for sure!
