Sony doesn’t officially consider MLB The Show 24 and its annual contemporaries part of its live service strategy, but it absolutely is. San Diego Studio has been supporting its baseball sim with season-long content updates for several years now, and it looks like the latest game will be getting its best post-launch efforts yet.
The developer announced Season 1 on the PS Blog today, and it includes three new Storylines in the excellent Negro Leagues mode, featuring Larry Doby, Leon Day, and José Méndez. As always, you can expect documentary-like detail on each player, as well as archive footage, gameplay challenges, and Diamond Dynasty rewards.
There’ll also be a ton of new card drops in the latter mode, as well as brand new Programs, Conquest maps, and much more. The best thing about MLB The Show 24 is, while you’ll make the most progress playing Diamond Dynasty, it actually doesn’t matter which mode you’re enjoying as you’ll be earning XP and unlocking rewards.

The Negro League Storylines have been excellent so far. I love hearing Bob Kendrick talk about the players a very engaging speaker. Could listen to him talk about baseball forever his enthusiasm and love of the sport really shines through. The graphics may not be pushing the boundaries but the gameplay is always top notch.
There seem to be more bugs this year than others. The road to the show is driving me crazy, as a two way player it does not accurately display which position you will be for the next game. So it tells me I am starting pitcher and I boost my pitching stats only to play left field. I am finding that it is incorrect on at least 2 of the 5 games between pitching. Sometimes I am starting pitcher multiple days in a row. The commentator constantly says it is the wrong inning and similar small inaccuracies. I've had outfielders teleport from across the field at the last second to make the catch. Just bugs everywhere.
Also the female RttS storyline is pretty lame. There are like 4 total MLB network segments and way too many of the corny text message segments with the other female baseball player.
