Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this “MLB The Show 24 crossplay” thing, whatever that means. My grandson, he’s always yappin’ about it, so I figured I’d try to make some sense of it for ya.

So, first things first, what is this crossplay thingamajig? Well, from what I gather, it means folks with different game boxes can play together. You know, like little Timmy down the road with his Play-Station thingy can play ball with Sally Mae who’s got that Xbox contraption. Back in my day, we just played stickball in the street, didn’t need no fancy boxes.
Now, this MLB The Show 24, it’s got this crossplay thing. That means if you got a Play-Station 5, you can play with someone who’s got a Play-Station 4. Or if you got one of them fancy new Xboxes, the Series X or S, you can play with someone who’s got the older Xbox One. Ain’t that somethin’? All these young’uns playin’ together, no matter what box they got. It’s like a big ol’ potluck, everyone bringin’ somethin’ different to the table.
But how’s it work? Well, that’s where it gets a bit complicated, even for my grandson. He says somethin’ about needing an “MLB The Show account.” Sounds fancy, huh? Apparently, you gotta make one of them accounts and then link it up to all your Play-Station doo-dads. I don’t know why they gotta make it so complicated. Back in my day, you just picked up a bat and played ball. No accounts, no linkin’, just good ol’ fashioned fun.
Then there’s this “cross progression” thing. Sounds like another one of them fancy words. From what I understand, it means your stuff goes with you, no matter what box you’re playin’ on. So, if little Timmy levels up his player on his Play-Station 4, he can keep playin’ with that same leveled-up player on his Play-Station 5. It’s like carryin’ your favorite lucky charm wherever you go.
My grandson says it’s real easy to turn on this cross progression thing. He says somethin’ about goin’ into the game settings and lookin’ for a “cross progression” option. Then you gotta log into that MLB The Show account and link up all your stuff. He made it sound easy, but for an old gal like me, it sounds like a whole lotta hooey. I swear, these young’uns and their technology, they make things way too complicated.

But I guess it’s a good thing, this crossplay and cross progression stuff. Means everyone can play together, no matter what box they got. And you don’t lose all your hard work when you switch boxes. It’s all about bringin’ people together, I reckon, even if it’s just through a video game. Just like how we used to have those big town picnics, everyone comin’ together for some good food and good company.
So, if you’re tryin’ to figure out this whole MLB The Show 24 crossplay thing, just remember: it’s about playin’ with your friends, no matter what box they got, and keepin’ your stuff no matter where you play. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about baseball’s made me hungry for some good ol’ hotdogs and apple pie.
And one last thing, I heard that even if you got an older box and your friend got a new fancy one, you can still play together! Now that’s somethin’ special, kinda like how we used to have the whole family, young and old, sittin’ around the radio listenin’ to the game. It’s all about sharin’ the fun, ain’t it?
And don’t you worry if you ain’t got one of them fancy game boxes. There’s plenty of fun to be had outside too. Go throw a ball, run around, get some sunshine. That’s what I always tell my grandson. These games are fun and all, but nothin’ beats good ol’ fresh air and exercise.
Anyways, that’s all I know about this MLB The Show 24 crossplay. Hope it made some sense to y’all. Now, go on and have some fun, whether it’s on a game box or out in the sunshine. Just remember to be kind to each other and enjoy the game.
