Had some fun simulating the season on MLB The Show. Good news if you’re a White Sox fan! 👀
After correctly predicting the Braves’ World Series win last October, there’s no reason to believe any of this will be wrong lol thescore.com/mlb/news/23219…

However, the talk of gamers has been the new cover athlete feature.
How to collect cover athletes on "MLB The Show 22"
Unlike other editions of "MLB The Show," which featured only one cover athlete, the 2022 edition has 12 possible cover athletes. Gaming commentators have narrowed down the ways to collect them to two basic options.
The first is to choose one directly through the game. If you have purchased either the MVP version or the deluxe version of "MLB The Show 22," then you will have automatic access to a cover athlete pack. Once you access the pack, you will be able to choose one of the twelve athlete options available to you.

Although for the time being, players can only select one, it is widely thought that the options will soon grow with subsequent updates to the game.
