The latest installment of the MLB The Show franchise, MLB The Show 24, has been met with a mixed reception from fans, particularly when it comes to the game’s Diamond Dynasty mode and the in-game shop.
According to a recent post on the r/MLBTheShow subreddit, the Diamond Dynasty shop in MLB The Show 24 has become “the worst it’s ever been.” The post outlines several issues that players have encountered, including the high prices of packs and the lack of valuable pulls from those packs.

One user commented, “It’s a total money grab!!!! The prices they charge for packs and then you open tons of packs and don’t get a single diamond..” This sentiment seems to be shared by many in the community, who feel that the game’s monetization model has become increasingly predatory and focused on extracting as much money from players as possible.
While the graphics and overall gameplay improvements in MLB The Show 24 have been praised by some players, the issues with the Diamond Dynasty mode appear to be overshadowing these positives. Many fans have expressed disappointment that the Stadium Creator mode, which allows players to customize their own stadiums, has only seen a minor upgrade with the addition of animated standing fans, rather than the more substantial improvements that the community has been requesting.
The frustration with the Diamond Dynasty shop is not a new issue for the MLB The Show franchise, as similar complaints have been raised in previous iterations of the game. However, it seems that the problem has only become more pronounced in MLB The Show 24, leading to a growing sense of discontent among the game’s dedicated fan base.
Some players also said:
This is the fourth game in a row I’ve got after not playing since I was a kid during the PS2 days. This year’s is easily the worst. I mainly play RTTS and so much of it is broken and things that have been broken for multiple games. Every single customizable option is the same going back to ‘21 and now you can’t even get Nike/Jordan gear without packing them. It’s just frustrating.
