MLB The Show 24

I did this while also going for the
TLDR & only going for Save Some for Tomorrow:
Change settings to Amateur and Gameplay Style of Casual, and use my Download and use my Slider setting from the Vault (Save Some for Maddux by Psyched Chicken). Play Exhibition Classic as almost any MLB team (Braves or Dodgers suggested). Play against a Bad team, Athletics or Minor league team. Pick Polo Grounds. Time your swings, you have pretty large window with my settings/sliders. Make smart baserunning decisions, If you don't know if you'll make it to the next base don't go for it. Don't let the CPU get too many runs, or get a lot more runs yourself.


To do this I did a couple of things within the settings to make it easier on myself. In Settings I changed my Settings Preset to Casual. Then going into Gameplay Settings If not already set to this I changed my Gameplay Style to Casual. Then Hitting and Pitching difficulty to Amateur, 2 left from Rookie
Within this page go to Control settings (Hit ). The Settings Preset should have made this setting to the most basic options, for newer players this may be the best settings, though I still would prefer my Hitting Interface to be at least directional. For the more Seasoned players, change it to whatever you prefer. I kept the basic controls except for the Hitting Interface, which I changed to Zone, and with the Sliders, that I'll talk about next, the Zone was massive and you barely even needed to move it, if at all.

For the Sliders I mentioned, I uploaded a Slider Setting to the Vault. Titled "Save Some for Maddux" Type: Arcade, Favor: Balanced by Psyched Chicken. I mainly just changed CPU and Human batting sliders. If you need any more help feel free to change the pitching sliders as well.

Pregame - I chose Exhibition Classic. I recommend playing as the home team as if you are leading in the 9th you have one less half inning you have to play. You can probably choose any team you like, I used the Mariners, but to make the Save Some for Tomorrow achievement easier, I recommend the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Atlanta Braves as they have a great hitting team. For the CPU team, I chose to go against the Birmingham Barons, go to the Chicago White Sox, Hit . For the stadium I went to the Classic Stadiums and used Polo Grounds, easy homeruns down the lines or easy triples in Center Field or Deep Left and Right fields. However, you may get a lot of off the wall singles too. Then for your pitcher pick any starter, the higher overall the better.

Once in game, hit start right away and go to settings to confirm all these changes took affect.

For the Maddux Achievement:
You need to average 11 or less pitches an inning. With these settings & sliders just pitch the ball in the strike zone, just avoid throwing it down the middle all the time. And cycle the types of pitches you throw. I tried to let them hit the ball as most should be flyouts and groundballs and will usually result in quick outs and limiting your pitch count. If they are fouling it off a couple times, through something just outside the strike zone. They swung and missed almost every time. I threw 1 Ball the entire game. As long as you have the lead in the top of the 9th and have less than 90 pitches you should easily get this, and you won't have to bat in the bottom of the 9th.

For Save Some for Tomorrow Achievement:
You just need to make sure you time your swings right and you should hit the ball every time. I liked Zone as you have a little more control where on the ball you hit it. I only had to use the Normal Swing . Make smart baserunning decisions and you should keep racking up the hits and scores, especially if you use my Slider settings, and use Polo Grounds. I got 27 runs just for some cushion and then I just started bunting to get through my at bats quicker.

For this one, I used one of the All Star Teams. In my case I used the Boomers because they were players from when I was a kid. I had them go up against a terrible minor league team. I set the difficulty to easy and went out there and hit some dingers. I'd recommend going a full 9 innings to pair this with "Maddux" and to give yourself more time against the AI. I had 30 runs by inning 5 and intentionally got myself out thru steals.
