MLB The Show 20 Patch 1.04 Details

Just a day after the full release of MLB The Show 20, Sony San Diego (SDS) is set to release yet another patch to players.

Available on Thursday, the latest update addresses a few gameplay bugs including a glitch with the button accuracy meter, and checked swing contact percentage.

Full patch notes are below:

Gameplay:

• Fixed an issue that caused the Button Accuracy Throw Meter to get stuck in the red, following a specific bullpen operation.
• Increase to hitting difficulty in Diamond Dynasty.
• Fewer checked swings will hit the ball into play.
• Pitch speed slider has more range.
• When swinging early on an outside pitch, fly balls and line drives that would be labeled ‘Rolled Over’ will now be labeled ‘Out in Front’.

Hopefully, this solves any issues players have been having on the diamond. But, if more problems arise, it’s clear that SDS is going to be quick to address them.

From SGO’s MLB The Show 20 review:

Sony San Diego doesn’t disappoint with its promise of rewarding good hitting this year. An overhaul of the game’s hitting engine and revamped plate coverage indicator provides a fresh new perspective and feel to swing the bat this year.

While hitting on dynamic difficulty as well as legend, power hitters truly felt powerful and contact hitters placed the ball all over the field. Hitting felt natural again. However, perfect-perfect feedback still ended up being line outs occasionally with low power hitters. But not to be discouraged, many perfect-perfect hits by contacts hitters resulted in more line drive grounders and base hits. I did notice my propensity to foul off multiple pitches on late swings. Purists of The Show no doubt would like to see a greater portion of foul offs as whiffs rather than another opportunity for their opponent to have hitting success.
