MLB The Show 22 Trophy Guide And Road Map

Like always earn all other trophies to earn the platinum trophy

The easiest stadium to do this in is the Polo Grounds classic stadium, as it has very large gaps, playing on beginner difficulty and raising hitting sliders to maximum will make this easy to achieve. Run around all 4 bases as the batter without the ball going over the fence to hit an inside the park home run.

Start a game with the Angels and choose any pitcher besides Shoehei Othani, now when setting your lineup scroll down the bench and you will see you can put Ohtani in the field, put him at any position and bat him first and hit a homerun. Playing on beginner with human power and human timing set to maximum will make this easier. Note you dont have to do this with Ohtani but he is the easiest pitcher to do it with of you dont want to edit one.

In order to achieve this you need to use a switch hitter denoted with an S in the lineup, now you will want to face a team that has alot of pitchers who pitch from the same side, so if a team has a lot of right handed pitchers in the bullpen have a lefty start the game for them. You will need to get atleast 2 hits 1 versus a left hand pitcher where you bat righty, and 1 versus a right hand pitcher where you bat lefty. Playing on beginner with all human hitting sliders set to max will make this easier. You can also use player lock (R2) to only so the at bats of one player to try and speed this up.

PCI Anchor is only allowed with zone hitting, and you must make sure it is turned on under the Batting & Baserunning settings. Now press L3 to bring up the anchor now, press L3 again and in the direction where you want the anchor to be to move it around to a different quadrant of the plate and get a hit. Playing on hitting difficulty beginner should make this easy as the pitch will be right over the plate. Increasing human contact, power, timing and solid hits can be used to your benefit here aswell.

First thing you need to do it set the difficulty to dynamic, you will start at beginner difficulty which is the lowest difficulty in the game. Each difficulty has two levels so for this trophy you will have to go through the following levels- Beginner, Beginner +, Amateur, Amateur +, Minors, Minors + to then finally reach rookie. As you increase levels the A.I. will improve and it will be more difficult to rank up. You will want to adjust the dynamic difficulty sensitivity slider and set it to maximum to speed up how fast you progress. Now take a team you want to use and edit the starting pitcher and make him a 99 overall to make this easier and edit your opponent to all 0s. Now you should have no issues dominating the opponent and should earn this in the middle of the second game. You can set the following sliders to maximum Human Starter Stamina, Human Reliever Stamina, Human Pitcher Control and Human Pitcher Consistency. Set all CPU sliders to minimum and you can also set Fielding related sliders to maximum and baserunner sliders to minimum. Under general settings you can set dynamic difficulty updates to progress to see how close you are to ranking up after each play.If you are struggling and you are losing levels you can xmb quit to prevent the game from counting as long as you do it before the game finishes.

Now you should have no issues dominating the opponent and should earn this by the end of the game. You can set the following sliders to maximum Human Contact, Human Power, Human Timing, Human Foul Frequency, and Human Solid Hits. Set all CPU sliders to minimum and you can also set Fielding related sliders to minimum and baserunner sliders to maximum.

This trophy is pretty simple all you need to do is play on begginer difficulty and on the first pitch of each at bat make sure to throw the ball right down the middle to ensure you achieve a first pitch strike, now simply play as normal other wise and have your starting pitcher pitch the whole game and win without using fast forwarding.

You may earn this trophy naturally, in order to turn a double play you must get two outs on one play. This means a runner must be on base, so start a game and intentionally walk the lead off hitter with L1 + Circle, now try to get the next hitter to hit a ground ball on the infield and throw the runner out going to second and the batter running to first to get a double play. Simply repeat this a second time to get the trophy. You can set your fielsing sliders to maximum and baserunner speed to minimum to make this slightly easier.

This will happen naturally most likely all you need to do when you have 2 strikes on a batter is throw any pitch outside of the strike zone and have them swing and miss for strike 3. If you need help achieving this you can lower the cpus contact, timing and foul frequency sliders.

This trophy can be done easiest on beginner difficulty, you can also lower the cpus sliders for contact, timing, power, and foul frequency to help produce more swings and misses. You can also raise human pitching control and stamina sliders as well. Start a game against a double a team using an all star team and you should be able to overpower the hitters with fastballs for strikes, get 3 strikes to strikeout the hitter for 3 different at bats in one game. If you reach towards the end of the game you can intentionally walk hitters (L1 + O) until you face a batter you have struck out twice already, as long as it isn't the bottom of the 9th you can keep walking everyone until you strike out that batter for the third time.

This trophy refers to online co-op only, local will not get it to pop, choose online co-op from the menu and 2 vs 2 as it requires less players, now if you are selected as the captain just keep accepting the default settings to try and get the game started asap as alot of people back out while on the menu, now simply wait for the game to load and the trophy will be your before first pitch

To steal a base you must first get on base as a hitter, and while the pitcher throws a pitch you run to the next base and make it there safely. I recommend using Rickey Henderson of the Long Ball Beasts as he has a 99 speed and setting the baserunner speed slider to maximum and setting the fielding related sliders to minimum. Now once you reach base use L2 to try and steal second and third base as soon as possible. You can try to speed this up by player locking as Henderson before the to just do his at bats, but make sure to set player lock baserunning opportunities to ALL.

Play on beginner difficulty and set the Human contact, power, timing and solid hits sliders to maximum. Now as a batter to get a perfect-perfect hit can be a bit of luck, but using higher level players such as an all star team can make it easier to achieve. Playing in a smaller stadium such as the Yankees, Phillies or Reds can make this easier to achieve as the dimensions aren't as large as some other ballparks.

First you must set pitching to Pinpoint accuracy and set the difficulty to beginner. You are judged on three different things when using pinpoint pitching, these being Accuracy (how accurate you are hitting the first location), Timing (How early or late you are moving the ball from the first location to the second) and lastly the angle (left or right of the targeting going from the first location to the second) It will take a bit of time getting used to pitching this way so I recommend using a pitcher in practice mode to get used to this pitching way. Now you want to set the pitcher control and consistency sliders to maximum and set all the cpu hitters sliders to minimum. Now you will need to get two strikes on a batter and then on the third pitch have it be in the strike zone and have them not swing at it for strike three. This can be alittle luck based as the cpus usually swings at pitches in the strike zone. In order to pitch a perfect pitch I recommend sticking to the 4 Seam Fast Ball as the angle is easier to do in my opinion. For a perfect pitch you don't need 100% accuracy perfect timing and the perfect angle, what you are looking to get is 70% accuracy, timing 0.10 seconds or better and angle 5 degrees or less. You will know you threw a perfect ptich because all three will light up blue and the word perfect will pop up on the screen.

Play on beginner difficulty and set the human contact, power, timing and solid hits to maximum, now you will have to find a pitcher who throws 100 mph or more. A good pitcher to face is Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians or Jacob DeGrom of the Mets as they both consistently throw between 98-101 mph.

Scroll down on the main menu to Diamond Dynasty and select the colors and team name you would like to use, once you complete this the trophy will pop. Note this trophy appears to be glitchy if you already earned it on the Ps4 first and try to get it on the PS5 or vice versa, if you run into this issue try unlinking your account in the profile section but be warned you will lose all your Diamond Dynasty progress on one of the systems.

This trophy can be earned naturally by just playing the game, but an easy way to earn this is by playing retro mode as you can move in and crowd the plate by pushing L3 towards homeplate. You should wait to move your player until after the pitch is released that way the pitcher can't adjust to your new position.
