Stranded on the Bench: How to Unsquad a Lost Ballplayer in MLB The Show 23
Ah, the woes of a Diamond Dynasty manager. You've built your dream team, drafted legends past and present, and conquered all that lay before you. But then, disaster strikes! You realize that poor Albert Pujols has become a permanent fixture on your bench, trapped in baseball purgatory. Fear not, fellow manager, for help is at hand! Today, we'll tackle the perplexing issue of unsquading a player in MLB The Show 23.
The Perils of a Crowded Clubhouse (and Why You Might Want to Unsquad)
Let's face it, managers are hoarders by nature. We see a shiny new card, and suddenly Mike Trout needs a permanent vacation in the Bahamas (sorry, Mike, it's nothing personal). But what happens when your bench resembles a retirement community and selling becomes an option? Here's where the unsquad dilemma creeps in:
- Accidental Lineup Lockout: You accidentally locked Shohei Ohtani in your Weekend Warrior squad, rendering him useless for Ranked Seasons. Need that two-way domination elsewhere, stat!
- The Great Platoon Platoon: You've gone overboard with platoon advantages, and now your team resembles a confusing Shakespearean play. Time to streamline and make some tough decisions.
- The "I Should've Read the Fine Print" Syndrome: You impulsively completed a collection for a closer you'll never use. Free yourself from the clutches of card-completionism!
These are just a few reasons why unsquading a player might be necessary. Now, let's get down to business!
Unsquading 101: A Simple Three-Step Guide (Because We Know You Crave Efficiency)
Here's the good news: unsquading a player in MLB The Show 23 is about as difficult as stealing candy from a baby (metaphorically speaking, of course). Here's how it's done:
- Head to the "Manage Squad" Section: This is your command center, your war room, your baseball Batcave (okay, maybe not the Batcave).
- Locate the Lost Soul: Navigate the beautiful (or slightly overwhelming) sea of faces until you find your benchwarmer.
- Hit the Bench Button (Gently): Look for the glorious "Sub" option beneath your player. Click it with the grace of a seasoned manager (or the button-mashing fury of a frustrated one, no judgment here).
Voila! Your player is free from the shackles of your bench and ready to be sold, traded, or released into the wild (figuratively, of course, unless you're playing with house rules).
Bonus Tip: If you're like me and constantly forget where you stashed your players, utilize the handy filters in the "Manage Squad" section. They'll be your best friend in the fight against lineup amnesia.
Now, go forth and conquer, managers! May your benches be streamlined, your lineups optimized, and your freed players find new homes (or become valuable trade bait). Just remember, with great power (of unsquading) comes great responsibility (of building an awesome team).
