Okay, so I was messing around with “MLB The Show 23” the other day, trying to get some new catcher signs into the game. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, but I finally figured it out and wanted to share how I did it.
Finding the Right Files
First, I had to find the actual sign files in the game’s directory. This took a bit of digging. I opened up the game files and started poking around.
- Went through a bunch of folders, like “data”, “sounds”, and a few others that didn’t seem relevant.
- Finally found what I was looking for in a folder called “animations”. It wasn’t labeled super clearly, but I figured it had to be in there somewhere.
Modifying the Files
Once I found the files, I needed to replace them with the new signs I wanted. This was the tricky part.
- I downloaded some custom sign animations from somewhere that looked legit.
- Made sure to back up the original game files, just in case I messed something up. You should never skip this step.
- Then I carefully replaced the old files with the new ones, making sure the names matched up perfectly.
Testing it Out
After all that file swapping, it was time to see if it actually worked.
- I fired up “MLB The Show 23” and started a quick game.
- Chose a team and paid close attention to the catcher’s signals.
- And there they were! The new signs were working perfectly. It was pretty satisfying to see it all come together.
So yeah, that’s how I got new catcher signs into “MLB The Show 23”. It was a bit of a process, but definitely doable if you’re patient and follow the steps. Hopefully, this helps someone else out there who’s trying to do the same thing. It made the game a little more fun for me, and I’m happy that I can play it in this way.
