Dingers and Disco Dazzles: A Guide to Equipping Epic Celebrations in MLB The Show 23
So you just launched a mammoth dong clean over the outfield wall? Crowd's going wild, your teammates are losing their minds... but your ballplayer just stands there like a confused mime? Fear not, fellow slugger, because today we're here to crank the celebration dial up to eleven in MLB The Show 23.
Step 1: Knowing Your Celebration HQ (It Ain't the Locker Room)
Forget the pre-game pep talks, my friend. Celebrations are unlocked in the "My Player" tab, under the mysterious "Loadout" section. Think of it like your personal hype-man warehouse, where you store all the moves guaranteed to make your opponent cry into their virtual nachos.
Pro Tip: You gotta earn these celebrations! Grind out some games, complete challenges, or – if you're feeling fancy – splash some Stubs in the marketplace.
Step 2: Picking Your Power Pose (Because Bat Flips Are So Last Season)
Now comes the fun part: choosing your celebratory masterpiece. We're talking bat spikes, helmet throws, fist pumps that would make Ric Flair jealous – the options are endless (well, almost endless). Here's a breakdown of some key celebration categories:
- The Classics: The tried-and-true bat flip, the fist pump, the slow trot – these are your baseball staples, perfect for the low-key home run hitter (or someone who just wants to get back to the dugout for some celebratory bubblegum).
- The Showmen: Feeling a little extra flamboyant? This category boasts celebrations that would make Manny Ramirez blush. Think bat twirls, crotch chops, and enough swagger to put Miggy Altuve to shame.
Warning: Excessive use of these celebrations online may result in hate messages and a bruised ego. Use with caution.
- The Team Players: High fives with teammates, celebratory hugs – these moves are all about sharing the love with your boys. Perfect for the guy who prioritizes team spirit over personal glory (or someone who's afraid of getting a cramp from all that solo celebrating).
Step 3: Unleashing Your Inner Hype Machine
Once you've found your perfect celebration, equip that bad boy and get ready to dominate. Remember, a well-timed bat spike can be just as demoralizing as a perfectly placed fastball. So get out there, launch some dingers, and celebrate like you just won the World Series (even if it's just against the CPU on rookie difficulty).
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling indecisive, you can always set a random celebration option. Who knows, maybe you'll discover your inner salsa dancer after a clutch home run.
Now go forth, young padawan, and show the world (or at least your online opponent) how to celebrate a home run like a true champion. Just remember, with great celebrations comes great responsibility. Use your power wisely, and may the baseball gods bless you with an endless supply of dingers.
