Developers of MLB The Show 22 launched Update 2, which fixed some of the most annoying bugs. This patch is now available on all supported platforms.
Let’s talk about the more pressing issues that were addressed in Update 2. The problem where the pitcher would not back up home plate under some circumstances has been resolved. The issue where the first baseman wouldn’t be able to branch a throw to home has been fixed as well.
The developers also made some improvements to the game. For instance, some increases have been done to the efficiency of the relay throws after a catch. In addition, the latest update introduced the Nike City Connect uniform for the Washington Nationals.
While MLB The Show 22 is still on Early Access for those who have pre-ordered, it is nice that the devs have fixed many of the game’s issues before its eventual release on April 5.
