MLB The Show 24 Adds Female Ballplayers to RPG-Inspired Road to the Show | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Not content with breaking boundaries with its incredible ongoing Negro Leagues mode, MLB The Show 24 will also introduce female ballplayers for the first time in its RPG-inspired Road to the Show. Selecting a lady will trigger a unique storyline where you’re accompanied by your childhood friend and fellow prospective superstar Mia Lewis, and will explore the “camaraderie professional players like Kelsie Whitmore have said is so important to their success on and off the field”.

All of the features of Road to the Show will remain the same, so you’ll be able to progress your ballplayer how you want to, and will gradually work your way up from the Minor Leagues and into the Big Leagues. But the narrative flavour will be different, with the unique cutscenes changing depending on how you play and your overall progress. There’ll also be unique commentary, MLB network segments, and more to document your journey.

I never expected to see MLB The Show and RPG-Inspired in the same headline, yet here we are.

I've always been intrigued by The Show but haven't given the IP a chance yet. Maybe someday.

@Deadlyblack Road to the Show has been a little bit like a simple RPG for many years to be honest.

You know what could be cool would be if they did something similar to the Negro League thing but with the All-American Girls Baseball League. I bet there's some very interesting history there they could pull from.

I do like what they are doing with the whole documentary thing. I haven't played it myself (just too many other games at the moment) but I definitely want to. Maybe later in the year.

If they are doing this, can they atleast add some stellar blade
