Many MLB The Show 23 players have experienced a very frustrating error message recently.
Part of the Diamond Dynasty game mode is mini-seasons, which is an excellent way to earn points and get better cards for your team. But gamers have lately been seeing an "invalid roster" error message.
Since the opponent is usually a CPU, this doesn't make any sense. It ruins the experience and takes away players' ability to play.
Since there has been a patch released recently, the issue should be reduced. If not, there are ways to attempt to troubleshoot it.
The patch only affects new seasons. Pre-existing seasons may still experience the issue.
Game developers released a statement on the game's forum stating that players who started a season before the update would have to restart their campaign.
"While we were able to correct this error for new seasons, we were unable to do so for seasons that were already in progress. This means that if you started a season before today’s update, and are receiving this error message when trying to play, you will need to restart your season. We understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience."
However, if players don't want to restart their season, they can try a few typical troubleshooting fixes:
- Restart the console
- Restart or reset the internet connection
- Close the app and open it again
- Log out of the account and log back in
- Exit the game mode and try again
None of these are permanent fixes, but MLB the Show 23's permanent fix only helps new seasons, so these are the only real options.
