This is the first major update for The Show in two weeks. The week before, the development team put out a small patch designed to provide server stability for the first Weekend Classic event.

Many of the fixes listed above are general bug fixes, which include adding proper scheduled times for three teams in Franchise Mode, as well as several notable ones for Diamond Dynasty. One included a bug for leaving a moment, which would result in the loading of a Team Affinity screen with all Orioles logos, which would then freeze.

Another is a “static” card glitch that would, literally, make the card art in Diamond Dynasty look like static.

Also, Sony added most of the new City Connect jerseys that were unveiled over the last couple of days across Major League Baseball. As of writing, the Rangers & Pirates’ jerseys remained unaccounted for.

However, no gameplay-related changes were announced in this patch. Meaning, PCI shrinakge, which we noted in our review, still exists in the game, and was not stated to be modified.

This will go live on April 15 at 7 AM ET for all consoles.
