MLB The Show 23 servers ran into some major issues on April 17, and the developers officially acknowledged the problem on their Twitter account. The problem became public thanks to community posts on social media that complained about the issues players have been facing.

It’s unclear as to what might have caused the problem in the first place. As of now, online game modes appear to be the most affected, and there is little players can do to address the issue on their end. However, keeping track of server status updates can help them resume playing MLB The Show 23 once the problem is fixed.

As mentioned above, the server disruptions have inconvenienced the community. However, the game also has a variety of single-player experiences that players can try out in case the online modes are not working. These include popular modes such as Franchise and March to October.

In addition to these modes, MLB The Show 23 has also introduced a new mode called Storylines. This mode blends narrative storytelling with intense baseball action, taking players on a journey through the history of the Negro Leagues and some of the stars who made it possible. You can also unlock rewards from the mode that you can use in Diamond Dynasty squads.
