On its way to MLB The Show 22, Sony has published patch notes for update 1.03. The popular baseball game was only released on April 2, 2022, and is the seventeenth entry in the series. Due to this new update, various aspects of the game have been fixed, including adding a new Nike City Connect Houston Astros uniform.

The most recent MLB game features Takashi Okazaki of Shohei Ohtani as its cover star. His love of manga greatly influenced the game, with developers adding art throughout the game in the style of the Japanese comics. Check out the full patch notes for update 1.03 on MLB The Show 22 below!

MLB The Show Update 1.03 Patch Notes

GENERAL GAMEPLAY

  • Fixed a bug that would prevent the Ump at Home from making a call in certain situations
  • Fixed an issue that would occasionally prevent pause timers from counting down when controllers had disconnected
  • Fixed a rare issue that would cause the game to freeze when balls were hit into foul territory
  • Batters pressing R2 to view the pitch history will no longer impact the gesture portion of Pinpoint Pitching for the defensive player. If R2 is pressed at the same time or after the pitch motion starts, R2 will no longer interrupt the defensive user. If the batter presses R2 before the pitch motion has started, it will not start.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause a freeze on or around 3B in certain situations
  • Users will now be notified when their pitcher is getting tired when 25% of energy is remaining.
  • Continued balance for Pitcher Energy in 3 inning modes: We’ve reduced pitcher energy by 15% but more importantly, we have also reduced energy lost per pitch. This will result in being able to use relievers longer and more effectively.
  • DEV NOTE: You might think this is backtracking from the update we put out on 4/12 where we increased RP and SP energy, but this rebalance, specifically the reduction in energy lost per pitch, will ultimately result in pitchers being able to throw more pitches.

CO-OP

  • DEV NOTE: You might think this is backtracking from the update we put out on 4/12 where we increased RP and SP energy, but this rebalance, specifically the reduction in energy lost per pitch, will ultimately result in pitchers being able to throw more pitches.
