Last year, MLB The Show created a new in-game experience for the Negro Leagues. This year, MLB The Show ’24 has unveiled a female player mode.

In a trailer released on Tuesday, the game highlighted a new mode titled “Road to the Show: Women Pave Their Way.”

“For the first time ever, you can create and play as a female ballplayer, with a unique Road to the Show story that evolves with the player over the course of your career,” it says on MLB The Show’s website. “Experience a personalized story where players can interact and build their own baseball career. This path will include all existing features of Road to the Show with the addition of a unique-to-women storyline following a lifelong friendship as it develops in professional baseball.”


quote:

The new story mode used help from Mollie Braley, the game’s narrative designer, and Kelsie Whitmore, the first female player in an MLB Partnered League and a member of the Women’s USA Baseball National Team who is featured in the trailer.


I'm sure dozens of people were clamoring for this.

if they added this feature to be able to play a woman's baseball league (a la A League of Their Own) then this would have been kinda cool, but to simply add in the ability to thrust a woman into MLB is fricking ridiculous.

Women are not barred from playing MLB, as far as I know.

IF women could play, they would be playing.

There goes the game being classified as a "simulator"

This is such a clear-as-day marketing ploy to get the female demo to buy the game because they already know that they've maxed out the male demo.


I guess I get it because there is not many more ways you can go to increase year-to-year sales for a sports game, but here I am just wishing that they would add full minor leagues.

If you can take a female character into online play in Diamond Dynasty, the names are going to be insane. Can't wait to give up a 450ft moonshot to Sydney SweenyJugs420

I looked up Kelsie Whitmore's stats in the Atlantic League. Just under career ERA of 12 in 25 innings and a .038 batting average. Impressive.

I presume Sweet Baby Inc is involved with this title?

At least other games kept the women’s teams separate

Odd thing to use resources on. I’ve been a huge fan of The Show Series but it’s honestly starting get stale. There’s so much they could and should be doing with the career mode and franchise mode.

Put a female Dynasty Mode into the new NCAA football game.

If she takes one hit from any player, she gets injured and her career is over.
