Developer San Diego Studio has fixed a huge bug in MLB The Show 24 with the game’s latest update. This past week, MLB The Show players discovered an exploit that would allow them to use player items in Co-Op mode that were meant to be reserved for only real-world Major League Baseball players. At the time of this discovery, many fans wondered how long this bug might stick around before it was deleted for good. Now, we know that it barely lasted one full week.

As of this weekend, San Diego Studio pushed out Update #4 for MLB The Show 24 and finally killed this glitch that would allow access to “Real 99” players. This fix was the lone one that was made to Co-Op mode, but other changes were also done to Diamond Dynasty, Franchise, and Road to the Show. As a whole, this is only the third post-launch patch for MLB The Show 24 that has gone live this year and it also happens to be one of the most extensive.

To that end, if you’d like to get a look at everything that was overhauled in this new update for MLB The Show 24, you can view the full patch notes below.
