Alright, folks, let’s talk about how I went about boosting that Durability captain in MLB The Show 23. It wasn’t some overnight miracle, I’ll tell you that. It took some serious grinding, but I eventually figured out a decent strategy.
The Initial Struggle
First, I picked my captain – I went with a position player, figuring it’d be easier to keep them in the lineup every single game. Figured out their boost tiers. I mean, that’s step one, right? See what kind of stat boosts I was even working towards. Then, I jumped into some games.
Finding My Rhythm
At first, I was just playing, not really paying attention to specific players. That was a mistake! I quickly realized I needed to be way more strategic. I started focusing on players that already had decent durability, you know, guys who wouldn’t get tired after just a couple of games.
- I started constructing the lineup with players that had above-average durability.
- I started looking at all the cards which could give me the most durability boosts to get this going.
The Grind
It was a total grind-fest, no way around it. I played a ton of games, mostly offline modes against the CPU, because, let’s be honest, I didn’t want to deal with the online sweatiness while I was focused on this. I focused on keeping my captain and those durability-boosted players in the lineup every single game, even if they were slumping. It’s all about that consistent playing time, see?
- I played Mini Seasons a lot, seemed to have more control there.
- I made sure to keep my captain and the boosted players in the game, every game, to max out those plate appearances or innings pitched.
The Payoff
Slowly but surely, I started seeing those tier boosts kick in. It felt good, man. Seeing those durability numbers go up, knowing my guys could handle the long haul. I mean, there were times I wanted to throw my controller, but I stuck with it. And finally, I got that captain fully boosted.
So, that’s my story. It’s not glamorous, but it worked. Focus on those high-durability players, get them in your lineup, and just grind it out. You’ll get there!
