How to Improve Your Ball Player’s Ratings

Guides

In Mlb: The Show 23, you have the option to create a new ball player. Once you have created a player, you will need to know how to improve their ratings. A ball player's ratings are what determines how well they play on the field. 

Your player’s rating will increase dramatically by progressing through the Roadshow and performing well as a player. Good performances on the field will boost your player’s rating up to 50.

Training on rest days at the “Bullpen or Batting Cage”, will increase your player’s rating, depending on what skill or attribute you would like to increase. Your player’s rating can also be increased by selecting the “My Ballplayer” tab and then selecting “Playstyle”. Find the “Equipment” submenu and change your players gear.

Select the type of equipment that will suit your ball player's style of play. If you enjoy sprinting off the mark, then you must equip your players with cleats. Equipping your player’s with the proper equipment will improve their performances and ratings.

Finally, you can improve your player’s ratings by progressing through a skill set programme. Go to the “Playstyle” subheading and scroll down to the “Skill Set” option. You will find tasks and rewards under that section.

As you progress through matches under the “Roadshow” section, you will manage to complete “Road to the Show Missions” and accumulate “Skill Set Points”. These points will allow you to unlock new equipment and perks along the road. 

Once you have completed an entire skill set programme, you will unlock an upgraded version of your skill set programme and will increase your ball player’s ratings.

How to Improve Your Timing In MLB Show 23

Guides

In MLB Show 23 it is important to execute the timing of your bat swing so that you can hit a home run. The first step to improve the timing of your swing is to have pitch recognition. The key to recognising different pitches is to look at the bill of the pitcher's cap.

By looking at the bill of the pitcher’s cap, your eyes have less of a distance to focus on than if you were trying to recognize a pitch by looking at the pitcher’s belt. Your eyes will be focused close to the release point of the ball and will be able to decipher different pitches.   

The next step to improving your timing will be to use different camera angles in the game. To change the camera angles in MLB 23, go into “settings'' and select “Camera Options”. Under the “Hitting View” option, you must select “Strike Zone”.

The “Strike Zone” camera angle is a super close up view of the pitcher and puts you in the strike zone. This camera angle is for more advanced players and it can be harder to hit the ball out the park.

For beginners to intermediate players it’s best to change the “Hitting View” to the “Zoom” option. This camera angle is further away and gives you more time to react to the pitcher’s throw.
