You Wanna Be Joe Torre? Challenging Calls in MLB the Show 23 (The Struggle is Real)
Ah, the age-old baseball debate: was he safe? Was he out? You stare at the replay, every muscle tensed, willing the pixels to bend in your favor. In real life, managers have the magic (sometimes maddening) power of the challenge. But in MLB the Show 23, things get a little...well, less dramatic.

Buckle Up, Buttercup, Because You're Not the Boss (of Challenges)
That's right, folks. Unlike real baseball, YOU don't get to decide which calls get challenged. The game itself throws you a bone (or maybe a sunflower seed) by initiating replays for close calls. After the slo-mo ballet of the play unfolds, a big, beautiful "Challenge?" might appear on your screen. This, my friends, is your moment to unleash your inner Joe Torre (minus the fancy suit).
The Art of the Replay Review: Channel Your Inner Sherlock Holmes
But hold on there, Roy Hobbs! Don't go throwing a challenge willy-nilly. This is your chance to play detective. Utilize those multiple angles like a hawk eyeing a juicy worm. Scrutinize the foot coming off the bag, the ball kissing the glove, the outfielder defying gravity with a web gem-worthy catch. Remember, replays can be deceiving! A close call might look like a clear out in slow-mo, thanks to the wonders (or curses) of frame rate.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
The Decision: Justice or Jeopardy?
So, you've analyzed the replay from every angle you can imagine. Your gut is churning, your controller feels slightly damp with nervous sweat. Do you hit that "Challenge" button with the righteous fury of a thousand wrongly called outs? Or do you accept the call and hope for better luck next time? This, my friends, is where the true test lies.
Here's a handy dandy pro-tip: Challenging a bad call can be a gamble. You might win and get the call overturned. Or, you might burn a precious challenge and be stuck with the original call. Use your challenges wisely, grasshopper!
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
FAQ: You Ask, We Don't Really Know (But Here's a Guess)
How to ALWAYS win a challenge? There's no magic formula, my friend. Sometimes the baseball gods just aren't on your side.

Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
How to challenge a call if the game doesn't give me the option? As of now, you're out of luck, skipper. The challenge system is entirely in the game's hands.
How to deal with a bad call that doesn't get challenged? Deep breaths, my friend. Deep breaths. Maybe channel your inner Yogi Berra with a head-scratching quote for good measure.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
How to get MLB the Show 23 to add a manual challenge system? This one's a mystery. Maybe hit them up on social media and make your voice heard (politely, of course).
