My Hunt for MLB The Show 23 Cheats
So, I’ve been putting a lot of hours into MLB The Show 23 lately. Really enjoying it, but you know how it is, sometimes you just want to see if there’s a quicker way, maybe get some extra Stubs or level up faster. The thought of cheats crossed my mind, just out of curiosity, really. Didn’t expect much, but decided to look into it anyway.
First thing I did was hop onto my computer. Opened up my browser and just started searching. Typed in the usual stuff, you know, “MLB The Show 23 cheats,” “how to get free stubs mlb the show 23,” “xp glitch mlb 23,” things like that. Went through a bunch of search results.
Found a whole lot of websites right away. Lots of them looked kinda flashy, promising unlimited everything. Saw a ton of videos too, mostly on places like YouTube, with titles screaming about “working cheats” or “easy stub generators.” Watched a few of those.
What I Found Mostly
- Websites asking you to enter your username and how many Stubs or XP you wanted.
- Video “tutorials” that spent ages talking but ended up pointing to sketchy download links or survey sites.
- Forum threads where people asked about cheats, but mostly got replies saying they don’t exist or warning about scams.
Honestly, most of it looked pretty dodgy. Those generator sites? They almost always lead to some kind of “human verification” step, which usually means filling out surveys or downloading apps. I didn’t mess with those. Seemed like a good way to get viruses or just waste time. The videos often felt like bait-and-switch deals too.
Trying to See if Anything Worked
I poked around a bit more, looking for actual gameplay exploits rather than external tools. Sometimes games have little glitches, right? Like a specific play you can repeat or something weird in a menu. Scanned some gaming forums, places like Reddit where players talk tactics.
Found discussions about certain gameplay things that might feel a bit cheesy, like specific pitch sequences or base running methods that work well against the AI. But actual cheats? Like inputting a code for free stuff? Didn’t see anything credible.
It started to feel pretty clear that for the main online modes, especially Diamond Dynasty where all the valuable stuff is, everything’s handled server-side by the developers. Makes sense, really. Keeps things fair, prevents people from just giving themselves the best teams instantly. Changing values on my console wouldn’t affect my online Stubs balance, that’s all stored safely on their end.
So, after spending a bit of time searching and looking through what was out there, I didn’t find any magic buttons or secret codes. It seems like the “cheats” are mostly just clickbait traps or talk about gameplay strategies that aren’t really cheats at all.
In the end, I just went back to playing the game normally. Seems like grinding through moments, playing games, and working the market is still the way to go if you want to build your team or get Stubs. The whole search was an interesting little detour, but didn’t really lead anywhere useful. Just gotta put the time in, I guess.
