PlayStation 4’s MLB The Show 17 has received a new update, with the 1.07 patch bringing a handful of improvements to both the online and offline aspects of the game. While the game performed very well right out of the gate and didn’t have many issues, there are still some nagging problems that needed addressing nonetheless.
MLB The Show 1.07 Patch Notes:
Online specific Gameplay Improvements and Stabilizations:
– Preventing users from becoming soft locked in specific situations.
– Created players will no longer all display the same head type in newly created Online Franchises.
Offline and Online Gameplay Improvements:
– Adjustments to lineup and manager hook logic to prevent teams from replacing the backup catcher, causing him to be unavailable in late inning situations.
– Opacity was lowered for the Buckshot, Classic, and Outline Plate Coverage Indicator.
– The Swing Analysis display will now always use the “Buckshot” PCI art.
– The Buckshot PCI art is the most accurate at displaying the sweet spot for solid contact, while also displaying how your contact gets worse towards the outer area of the PCI.
Various UI and OSD improvements including:
– Fixed specific situations where the Universal Profile Name Plates or Icons would unlock incorrectly or not unlock at all.
Miscellaneous:
– Starter hook tuning when 6th inning or earlier.
– Manager hook slider is now more sensitive.
– Various other minor bug fixes and adjustments made throughout the game.
MLB The Show 17 is available exclusively for PlayStation 4, launching in March to critical acclaim. The game’s presentation and visuals were noted as being stellar, as well as the the deep gameplay. The game has been receiving regular updates since its launch earlier this year, which have largely had to do with the game’s servers. The problems have been by no means game breaking, but the developers have still apologized for them and even gave fans free studs to spend in-game to make up for it.
