MLB The Show 24 has many game modes but few are as popular as the Negro Leagues one. This game mode is capable of immersing players like no other in the MLB The Show franchise. At the same time, it lets players relive the rich history of one of the most important leagues in the history of sports.

The game mode was introduced last year, and this year a new season will be introduced called Storylines: Negro Leagues Season 2".

Storylines: Negro Leagues Season 2

In MLB The Show 23, the Negro Leagues mode allowed players to step into the shoes of some of the greatest players in the Negro Leagues history. Players could also earn many rewards, including unlocking special characters and cards for Diamond Dynasty.

Season 2 of the Negro Leagues follows the same model, with the only difference being it has new protagonists, 10 to be more precise. These protagonists are already known, and they are:

Hank Aaron
Josh Gibson
Buck Leonard
Toni Stone
José Méndez
Herbert Dixon
Bill Foster
Larry Doby
Leon Day
Andy Cooper

Three protagonists have recently arrived at the game, Bill Foster, Rap Dixon, and Andy Cooper were added to the Storylines: Negro Leagues Season 2 mode on Monday 3 June.

These were the last players to be added to the game mode, and to celebrate that, MLB The Show 24 Supercharged their cards in Diamond Dynasty.

Players can relive the story of these heroes of the game in Negro Leagues Season 2, narrated by the great Bob Kendrick. Users can also unlock characters and special Diamond Dynasty cards once they finish the player's stories, similar to what happened last year.

Negro Leagues Season 2 Feature Premiere Disappoints

Players were very excited for the Negro Leagues Season 2 feature premiere, hoping for some new and exciting features to be revealed.

However, the featured premiere only confirmed what everyone was already expecting, the game mode will be pretty much the same with just new protagonists.

This isn't necessarily bad, as the mode is built around telling the stories of the Negro Leagues legends and it will do exactly so in season 2. But the MLB The Show community was expecting a little bit more.

The feature premiere went into detail on the MLB The Show 24 Negro Leagues Edition, mainly focusing on its unique perks such as the New Era Hat. But when it came to introducing new features to the game mode none were presented.

The biggest addition is that the game mode difficulty was lowered and that you can skip a moment if you get stuck in it, which was highly disappointing.

Yes, having new stadiums and jerseys is great but isn't really game-changing, nor can it be considered a new game feature.
