How to Totally Freeze MLB The Show 23 (But Seriously, Don't!)
Ah, the dreaded freeze off. You're locked in an epic pitchers' duel, the tension is thicker than stadium nachos, and BAM! The game freezes harder than a snowman in July. Frustration sets in faster than a Joey Gallo strikeout. But fear not, fellow gamer, because today we'll explore the NOT-AT-ALL-RECOMMENDED methods to induce a freeze off in MLB The Show 23. Remember, this is for entertainment purposes only. We don't condone cheating, and getting banned would stink worse than a week-old baseball mitt.
The Uncanny Valley of Unplugging
-
Method 1: The Rage Quit - This classic involves throwing a mini tantrum worthy of an MLB manager. Imagine slamming your controller down with the theatrics of a Shakespearean actor (though please, for the love of electronics, don't actually do that). This might cause your console to...well, console itself by shutting down. But hey, at least you "won" the freeze off, right? Right? Narrator voice They were wrong.
-
Method 2: The Accidental Disconnect - Feeling a little clumsy? This method involves strategically "tripping" over your ethernet cable mid-game. Maybe practice your "whoops, butterfingers!" routine beforehand for maximum authenticity. There's a chance you'll achieve that glorious disconnection, but be prepared to explain the mysterious cable malfunction to your housemates.
Glitch, Please!

Method 3: The Unidentified Dancing Routine - Ever considered a career as a mime? Put those skills to use by rapidly mashing every button on your controller in a nonsensical sequence. It'll look like you're conducting an invisible orchestra gone horribly wrong. Who knows, maybe this digital cacophony will confuse the game into oblivion. Warning: This method is highly unlikely to work and may leave you with carpal tunnel.
-
Method 4: The Power of Lag - Feeling tech-savvy? Here's a not-so-bright idea: Crank up every bandwidth-hogging device in your house. Download entire seasons of reality TV, stream every cat video on the internet, and maybe even start a cryptocurrency mine in the background. If your internet resembles a dial-up connection from the 90s, you might just achieve lag-induced nirvana (read: freeze off). But beware, this might anger everyone else using the internet in your vicinity.
Remember, folks, these methods are strictly for comedic purposes. A good, clean game is always the way to go! Who knows, maybe you'll even hit a walk-off homer and celebrate like a champion...without the need for any freezy shenanigans.
