MLB The Show 22 update includes gameplay adjustments
Game Update 6 is now available for MLB The Show 22 on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
According to the patch notes, hitters will have slightly less foul ball coverage, players can now only use R2 to view pitch types once per pitch for three seconds, and wind has been turned off for all Online Rated Games. In addition, runners will now advance one base when the ball is clearly not going to be caught by the outfielder, instead of going back, when the ball is hit in the air and the runner stops to see if it is landing or getting caught.
This update also improves stability in online co-op and two-way player logic in Franchise. Read the full patch notes below:
General Gameplay
- Hitters will have slightly less foul ball coverage, resulting in more swing and misses.
- Fixed a freeze that could occur on foul tips that bounced near the catcher.

- Wind has been turned off in Online Rated games.
- Fixed an issue that would cause the “Can’t Pitch” icon to become stuck on screen.
