Summary
MLB The Showhas always found new ways to celebrate America’s pastime, and inMLB The Show 23, developer San Diego Studio’s newest innovation was the Storylines game mode. This single-player mode lets players relive iconic moments in baseball history, each of them focusing on differentlegends from the Negro Leagues. From John Donaldson to the immortal Jackie Robinson, this game mode—produced in tandem with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum—was a standout inThe Show 23. Fortunately for those who enjoyed its exploration of baseball history, Storylines is returning inMLB The Show 24.
With the baseball season just a few weeks away, SDS has been ramping up its promotion of the upcomingMLB The Show 24. As has become tradition, the developer scheduled a series of feature premieres leading up to release, andMLB The Show 24’s Storylines took center stage in the first presentation. SDS showed how it’s expanding on season one of Storylines, giving players even more trailblazing athletes to learn about. The developer has since revealed that the Negro Leagues won’t be the only focus of Storylines as well, as one iconic New York shortstop is getting his own time in the spotlight inMLB The Show 24.
Storylines: The Negro Leagues Season 2 Brings More Historic Players Into The Fold
As part of their multiyear partnership,MLB The Showand the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum have teamed up once againto continue sharing pivotal Negro Leagues stories with players. In Storylines Season 2, SDS is bringing 10 new legends intoMLB The Show, with four of them available at launch. These legends will be given their own mini-documentary presentation just like those featured inMLB The Show 23, narrated by NLBM President Bob Kendrick. By continuing to dig into the deep well of talent that originated from the Negro Leagues, SDS further demonstrates its commitment to ensuring all baseball stories get told.
The four legends featured in the first wave of Storylines: The Negro Leagues Season 2 content highlight just how many fascinating stories the league has in store. Hank Aaron, one of MLB’s best home run hitters, will likely be the most familiar name out of the bunch, but the other three have their own thrilling stories to tell. Perhaps the most exciting of which is Toni Stone, the first woman to play in a professional men’s baseball league.Stone will be the first female ballplayer inThe Show’s history, breaking barriers in the game just as Stone did so many years ago.
