MLB The Show 22 Update 1.03: Pitcher changes go live ahead of release date
With a few lingering bugs still plaguing users since Early Access concluded, MLB The Show 22 Update 1.03 is expected to bring some much-needed fixes.
Aside from the initial MLB The Show 22 Update 1.02 arriving at launch, things have been relatively quiet with no major hotfixes being rushed out just yet.
However, ahead of the next big patch they've announced some tuning changes for pitchers in Diamond Dynasty.
For any players who have been enjoying game modes like Conquest and Mini Seasons that make use of 3 inning games, you've likely noticed pitcher energy seems to reduce dramatically.
This means players are having to turn to their bullpen much earlier than they should, and Sony San Diego has acknowledged and addressed the issue.
In a tweet on April 11, 2022 ahead of some nightly server maintenance, they said they are "increasing RP & SP energy in 3 inning modes. Energy will regen slightly faster as well. You will need to play 1 game before the increase takes effect."
This change seems to have been activated along with their standard server update, so players should already see a difference when playing in Diamond Dynasty.
As for the full update, the tweet stated a "larger update with more fixes is in the works," but stopped short of confirming a release date for what will be MLB The Show Update 1.03.
Release timing will likely vary depending on how quickly they can get a full Patch Notes worth of fixes ready, but this mention likely means we're only a week or two at most away from the next major update.
