From the makers of the game, here's some other things coming to the game in 2024:

Every year, as we strive to deliver the best possible gaming experience for our players, we integrate new features while refining and improving our existing systems. This year, we’ve introduced around 400 new animations and logic improvements, meticulously addressing any remaining areas needing attention, particularly focusing on fielder urgency. Animations are fine-tuned to ensure seamless integration into every conceivable situation, from routine plays, to relays off the wall, to high-pressure moments like rundowns and run saving double plays to end an inning. By prioritizing smarter AI and efficient animations, we strive to elevate the realism and strategic depth of defensive gameplay.

  • New Animations: Roughly 400 new animations and logic improvements meticulously address any remaining areas needing attention focusing on fielder urgency.
  • New Throws: Added a variety of new 1B throws from the ground to all bases, that enable 1B to efficiently make throws from all overstretch scenarios.
  • Pitcher Animations: To combat the new disengagement rule, additional animations will allow pitchers to step off to fake throw and potentially nab the runner trying to take advantage of the third disengagement.
  • Base Sizes: Fans will also notice the new base sizes in ’24, and of course we’ve captured new logic and tag animations to account for the extra coverage needed. 

MLB The Show '24 comes out on March 19.
