Alright, let’s talk about trying to find some shortcuts in MLB The Show 23. I gotta admit, the grind sometimes gets to me, especially in Diamond Dynasty. You see these stacked teams and think, man, there’s gotta be an easier way than playing hundreds of games or getting lucky with packs.
So, naturally, I started poking around. Fired up the search engine, typed in the obvious stuff like “mlb the show 23 cheats,” “stubs generator,” “easy XP,” you know the drill. What popped up? A whole mess of websites and videos.
What I Found First
First thing you notice is all these sites claiming they have generators. Infinite Stubs! Free Packs! Maxed Player Glitch! They usually have some flashy interface asking for your username and how many Stubs you want. Looks tempting, right? Too tempting.
Then there were the videos. Lots of YouTube clips showing supposed glitches. Maybe a specific batting stance and timing combo that guarantees a home run, or a fielding trick. Some looked more plausible than others.
Trying Stuff Out (The “Fun” Part)
So, I decided to dip my toes in, cautiously. Those generator sites? Yeah, I clicked on a couple, against my better judgment. They all lead down the same rabbit hole:
- Enter username (already felt sketchy doing that).
- Select amount of Stubs (why not go big, right?).
- “Connecting to server…”
- Boom! The inevitable “Human Verification” step.
This always means doing surveys, downloading some random mobile game and reaching level 5, or signing up for some shady mailing list. I wasted maybe 15-20 minutes on one, filling out a survey that asked increasingly personal questions. Guess what? No Stubs appeared. Shocking, I know. Tried another that wanted a phone number. Big nope. That’s where I drew the line. It felt like pure scam territory, trying to get your info or make you download junk.
Okay, so generators were a bust. What about the glitches shown in videos? I went into practice mode and tried replicating some of the batting stance/timing things. Spent a good hour trying to copy exactly what the video showed. Maybe one or two times I hit a homer that felt maybe helped by the trick, but mostly? It was just normal gameplay. It wasn’t consistent at all. Seemed more like confirmation bias from the video creators – they hit one good one after 50 tries and called it a glitch.
My Takeaway
Here’s the thing I realized pretty quick: MLB The Show, especially the online modes like Diamond Dynasty, is heavily server-based. Your Stubs, your cards, your progress – it’s all stored on their end, not on your console. This makes those old-school cheat codes or simple memory hacks basically impossible.
Anything promising free Stubs through external sites is almost certainly a scam trying to get your account info, personal data, or install malware. Stay far away from those.
The “glitches”? Most seem like minor exploits, if they even work reliably. And honestly, trying to replicate some awkward button combo takes the fun out of actually playing baseball. It felt tedious and unrewarding.
So, after spending an afternoon chasing ghosts, I just went back to playing the game. Grinding Conquest maps, doing Moments, flipping cards on the market. It might be slow sometimes, but at least it’s legit. You actually earn what you get. My advice? Don’t waste your time looking for cheats for this game. They aren’t really there in any meaningful way, and you’re more likely to get scammed or frustrated than gain any real advantage.
