On July 29, Sony San Diego released the list of patch notes that will come with update 1.17 in MLB The Show 24, which will go live on July 30. The update will address several visual bugs, including one that Diamond Dynasty players likely came across during a recent Showdown that went live in the game.
MLB The Show 24 Update 1.17 notes
Here’s a look at the patch notes for the MLB The Show 24 July 30 update:
GENERAL:
- Jersey numbers will now display properly on the front of created jerseys when using “Font 2”.
- Switch pitchers will now have the proper break when pitching left-handed.
- Fixed a bug where the circle change would be rewarded with a perfect result without the correct pinpoint input.
ROAD TO THE SHOW
- Fixed an issue where some users lost the ability to select which team they wanted to be drafted to.
STADIUM CREATOR:
- Fixed an issue preventing the user from viewing the Search By Tags menu.
DEVELOPER NOTES
- There are no gameplay or live content balance changes in this update.
Two notable changes were made, albeit none specifically targeted the gameplay engine.
One was a talked-about glitch that popped up in late July, in which switch pitchers did not have the correct break when throwing from the left side. Noted by MLB The Show 24 players on social media, sinkers broke like sliders, opposite of how an arm-side run pitch should run.
This issue popped up when the Mariners’ 2024 first-round pick, Jurrangelo Cijntje, was added to the game. Cijntje is the first switch-pitcher in MLB The Show since Pat Venditte.
The other was a glitch that resulted in the circle change having a perfect result, even if the speed and motion of the pinpoint motion were not perfect.
As we noted in early July when the previous update went live, a gameplay change has not been made since mid-June.
