It requires some careful planning and a specific build, but it's worth it to get to play with the current rosters as quickly as possible. Players can potentially get this call within their first few months of playing ball in MLB The Show 23. RELATED: All New Features Confirmed for MLB The Show 23 But the standard experience is to spend a few years mired in the minor leagues before finally getting the call-up to the big leagues. All to say, I will no longer buy 2K and continue playing(buying) MLB the Show until otherwise stated.Getting to play major league baseball is a huge part of playing MLB The Show 23 it's literally in the name of the game. Granted, I hear your argument but 2K can definitely learn a lot from the Show to making a better product for its audience. I know, you're gonna say it's a video game but I believe the devs take that into account. From a contractual standpoint as well, teams benefit from holding young stars back. For that reason, your RTTS player is almost forced to put in a few years there. Every year 2K comes out you have to start your myPlayer career all over again.īut to speak to what you're saying exactly, baseball is very different from the NBA in that young prospects are allowed to develop in the minors. The fact that I've been playing with different builds from previous year's games says a lot about how good the game is from that aspect. There are some minor bugs in RTTS(MLB the Show Career Mode) but its so far ahead of 2K it's hilarious. TL:DR MLB The Show’s system of progression and archetypes would be a great thing for 2K Weakness: Blocks, Dunks, Rebounding, Post Scoring Medium Strengths: Passing, Steals, Ball handling, SpeedĪverage: Lateral Quickness, Layups, Vertical, Strength Major Strengths: 3 pt, Mid range, Stamina, Acceleration Weakness: 3 pt, Mid range, Rebounding, Passing Medium Strengths: Steals, Blocks, Ball Handling, AccelerationĪverage: Speed, Lateral Quickness, Post Scoring, Stamina Major Strengths: Layups, dunking, Vertical, strength Note: Probably not the best configurations, but it’s something to work with. I think this system could be applied to badges to, with Major strength badges taking significantly less work you get than weakness badges.

But if you go 0/3, you could lose attributes. Let’s say you go 3/3 from three, this would mean you’d get +1 to your three point shooting attributes. Your performances in games effects your leveling up. This means that once you advance a bit, you’re major strengths will be in the 90s, while your weaknesses will be in the high 60s/low 70s. The type of attribute trait effects how easy it is to level up that trait. Major is around a 65, Medium a 55, Average a 50, and Weaknesses in the 30s. Each category has a set attribute number. Medium Strengths, Average, and Weaknesses. Each build consists of four types of attribute traits: Major Strengths.

MLB The Shows character building starts the same as 2K’s, pick height, weight, position, etc., but the actual archetypes are interesting.

So how do we implement this into 2K? Easy. For example: even though Giannis is a good passer, rebounder, and defender, he is most definitely a slasher. All NBA superstars usually have one thing they’re super good at. People usually usually just say “Remove archetypes completely”, but that’s not realistic. The biggest complaint with the archetype system is that you can’t have a true superstar player because of the level caps for attributes on each build. The archetype system has long been debated on this sub, so I’m surprised that this hasn’t been brought up yet. Edit: Title should say archetype AND progression
