MLB The Show 21 update fixes a few issues

A new update is now available for MLB The Show 21 that fixes bugs in Online Head to Head, Franchise, and Retro Mode.

Bugs that caused the game to freeze when disconnecting the controller during a homerun sequence, the pause menu getting stuck on the screen, Pitch Count and Pitch Speed overlapping, and more. Additionally, the extra innings base runner rule has been removed from the postseason in Franchise and the ASG uniforms have been updated. Check out the full patch notes below:

• Fixed a bug that would cause the game to freeze when a player would disconnect their controller during a homerun sequence
• Fixed a bug that would cause players to freeze if the offensive player would enter a quick menu and the defensive player would pause at a very specific time

Franchise/MTO

• The depth chart now shows the correct players rotation in later years
• Fixed a bug that would cause a previous players mugshot to show in an empty position in the depth chart
