The big fix here is the re-addition of the WBC Mini Seasons bundle, which will happen at 3 PM ET on June 16. This came over two weeks after Sony removed the bundle due to a glitch that allowed players to bypass playing the final game once it was completed, and continue to re-enter & play to get more packs.
In response, Sony shortly removed the bundle and replaced it with a one Stub reward.
There are also other big fixes in this update. It also includes another tweak for the Depth of Field functionality on Xbox, plus uniform glitches that occurred in some Moments (i.e., Paul O’Neill Cornerstone) in the game.
One other wrinkle added to the equation is that, per Sony, the development team will roll out special Weekend Classic bonuses for Xbox players. This is due to a server problem that prevented players from that specific platform from logging in.
Here is the reward layout, which will depend on what rank the individual was in as of the last Weekend Classic:
- 0-499: MLB The Show 26 pack (x5)
- 500-699: MLB The Show 26 pack (x20)
- 700-799: No-Sell Weekend Classic pack (96 OVR Figgins or Crow-Armstrong)
- 800+: Weekend Classic pack
This patch will be rolled out on June 16 at 7 AM ET.
