So, You Made a Baseball Frankenstein in MLB The Show 23...Now What?
Ah, the glorious (and sometimes terrifying) world of creating a player in MLB The Show 23. You poured your heart and soul into crafting the ultimate baseball beast: a towering pitcher who throws flaming fastballs or a slap-hitting second baseman with the speed of a cheetah on roller skates. But then, reality strikes. You accidentally made them a left-handed catcher or gave them the hitting stance of a confused flamingo. Don't worry, my friend, we've all been there.
But Fear Not! This guide will be your scalpel as you Frankenstein your creation into a masterpiece (or at least something that doesn't make the announcers snicker).
First Things First: Finding Your Misfit Monster
- "Manage Rosters" is your new best friend. Head over there and find the monstrosity...er, I mean masterpiece...you want to edit.
Pro Tip: If you created an entire team of questionable decisions (we've all had those creative bursts), you can edit the whole roster at once. Just select "Edit Roster" instead of a single player.
Sculpting Your Superstar (or Fixing Your Flop)
-
Once you've found your player, it's time to take a good, hard look. What went wrong? Did you accidentally turn them into a power-hitting catcher? Maybe their pitching mechanics resemble a toddler throwing a tantrum?
-
Here's the Magic Button: Look for "Edit Player." This is where the fun (and sometimes frustration) begins.
Diving Deep: The Edit Player Menu
This menu is your toolbox. You can tweak everything from your player's appearance (because a good swing starts with looking good, right?) to their very baseball soul (their attributes).
Here's a Rundown of the Key Areas:
-
Appearance: Did you accidentally create a player who looks like they belong in a witness protection program? Fix that mug! You can change everything from their hair and facial features to their body type.
-
Attributes: This is where the real work happens. You can bold and italicize how a player performs on the field. Increase their hitting power, tighten up their control, or maybe just make them a slightly faster base runner (gotta steal those extra bases somehow!).
Pro Tip: Don't go overboard with the attributes. You don't want to create a superhuman. Unless, of course, that's your thing. No judgement here.
-
Equipment: Ballpark fashion is important, you know! Here you can change your player's bat, glove, and even their cleats (because who wants blisters?).
-
Stance & Animations: Is your player's batting stance more "flailing windmill" than "graceful power hitter"? Fix it! You can also adjust their pitching mechanics and fielding animations.
Remember: Take your time and tinker! Experiment and see what works best for your player.
Saving Your Masterpiece (or Franken-Failure)
- Once you're happy with your creation (or resigned to their glorious weirdness), don't forget to save your changes! You wouldn't want all that hard work to go to waste.
Now, get out there and dominate the diamond with your...unique...creation!
