Alright, let me tell ya ’bout this “durability” thing in that MLB The Show 23 game. My grandkids, they play it all the time, yappin’ about this and that. Durability, huh? Sounds like how long somethin’ lasts, like a good pair of shoes or a cast iron pan.
From what I gather, it’s ’bout them ball players, how much they can take, ya know? Like, can they play game after game without gettin’ all tuckered out or hurtin’ themselves. Guess it matters if you’re runnin’ a team or somethin’. Wouldn’t want your fellas droppin’ like flies, would ya?
- For them hitters, seems like folks say it ain’t a big deal. I reckon that makes sense. They swing the bat, run a bit, stand around mostly. Not like they’re plowin’ the fields all day. So, durability, maybe not so important for them.
- Now, for them pitchers, that’s a whole different story. Them boys are workin’ hard, throwin’ that ball over and over. If they ain’t durable, they’ll wear out faster than a cheap pair of socks. Can’t be good if your pitcher’s arm is fallin’ off, right?
So, if you’re pickin’ players for your team, ya gotta look at this durability thing. Specially for them pitchers. You want someone who can go the distance, not someone who needs a nap after a few innings. Heard tell there’s some fella, Cal Ripken or somethin’, he was real durable. Played a whole bunch of games in a row. That’s the kinda fella you want on your team.
They say in that game, there’s all sorts of numbers and things to look at. Attributes, they call ’em. Durability is one of ’em. If it’s high, that’s good. Means the player can take a beatin’ and keep on goin’. If it’s low, well, maybe you should look elsewhere.
Also heard somethin’ ’bout recoverin’ stamina. Seems if a pitcher’s durable, he’ll get his strength back quicker between games. Like havin’ a good night’s sleep, I suppose. Important if you’re playin’ a lot of games in a row, like them tournaments my grandkids talk about.
Now, they also mention some fancy stuff like “dynamic player performance” and “refresh rates.” Don’t know much about that, sounds like city folks talk. But I reckon it all ties into how well a player performs, how long he can last, and how good the game looks on the screen.
They say you gotta be a “passive hitter” too. Don’t go swingin’ at everything. Take your time, get a good look. Makes sense, I suppose. Can’t hit nothin’ if you’re just flailin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off.

So, there ya have it. Durability in MLB The Show 23. It’s ’bout how long a player can last, how much wear and tear they can take. Important for pitchers, maybe not so much for hitters. Look for the fellas with the high numbers, and don’t forget to be a patient hitter. That’s what I gathered from all the talkin’ and the watchin’. Now, go on and win some games!
