MLB The Show 21 has today (September 15) launched update 16 on all platforms, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with today’s patch. Today’s patch seems as though it’s rather small, but it brings with it a host of fixes to help improve the quality of the game. One particular issue of note was the ability to sign Free Agents in the off-season through the player search menu, which has been disabled for the time being. This was causing players to be duplicated, which can obviously have its issues when it comes to gameplay. There’s a lot more to discuss here though, so without further adieu, here’s everything new with MLB The Show 21 update 16!
MLB The Show 21 Update 16 (September 15) Patch Notes
Franchise
- Fixed a crash that could occur when pinch hitting for an out of position player in Manage Full Game
- Removed the option to sign Free Agents in the off-season through the player search menu (this would sometimes result in the player being duplicated)
UI
- Added a confirmation selection box when players select duplicate no-sell cards from Choice Packs
- Fixed a bug where the player card would stay on the screen if the user pressed R2 and the Options button at the same time
- Fixed a bug where player position would sometimes be blank on a batter walk-up presentation
Misc
- Fixed an issue where some Xbox linked accounts would not receive game invites
Unfortunately, beyond that, there isn’t a whole lot to talk about here. The new confirmation selection box is nice and all, but is only useful in a few select cases. Otherwise, some nice bug fixes highlight the remainder of the update. It’s currently unknown if update 17 will bring with it heavier changes, but when/if it does, we’ll be sure to let you know.
MLB The Show 21 is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. For more information regarding today’s update, check out the official website.
