MLB The Show 21 Game Update 17
PS4: 1.17
PS5: 1.017
Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S: 1.0.0.87
Scheduled to deploy: October 5th at 4:00 AM PT

Gameplay

  • The PCI range and sensitivity has been increased to reach the corners of the zone. This is most noticeable on Hall of Fame and Legend difficulties.
  • Increased the difficulty for Pinpoint Pitching on Competitive Settings and Legend difficulty (in all modes). The gesture, release timing and direction now have a less lenient criteria for ‘Good’ and ‘Perfect’ pitches when using competitive gameplay style settings.

    From the devs: After reviewing the feedback and data since UPDATE 11, we believe Pinpoint is still a little bit too easy right now in a competitive setting. Like before, this change will make the timing window for “Good” and “Perfect” slightly more difficult to achieve.

Challenge of The Week

  • Fixed the stats displayed for Shohei Ohtani and Ramon Laureano in the pre-game screen.

Miscellaneous/UI

  • Players now display the correct MLB Stats in the Player Cards and on Score Bug in Exhibition Live Roster games.
  • Fixed a bug where settings would reset (including Dynamic Difficulty) when players would exit an offline game.
