Common Mini Seasons Glitches & How to Fix Them

Wins Recorded as Losses (WBC/Playoffs)

The Glitch: Sometimes you crush a playoff game, say 7-0, only to see the game record it as a loss. This can block your path to the semifinals or finals.

The Solution: There’s no guaranteed way to reverse a recorded loss. The best move is to close and restart the app immediately if you notice a mismatch. If the season is stuck, you may have to restart the entire season from the Mini Seasons menu.

Invalid Roster / "Not Enough Eligible Players" Error

The Glitch: Even with a full squad, the game may refuse to start, saying your roster is invalid.

The Solution:

Go to View and Edit Roster.

Open Squad Options.

Select Generate Best Squad.

This often resets the internal roster logic and lets you start games. If it doesn’t work, a full seasonal restart is usually required.

Pitcher Stamina Bug

The Glitch: Starting pitchers might show 0 stamina even after resting, or stamina doesn’t adjust properly between 3-inning and 9-inning games.

The Solution:

Swap pitchers in your rotation (take one out and put them back in).

Or, play a quick Play vs CPU game, throw a few pitches, then quit. This can refresh stamina for Mini Seasons.

Stuck on Post-Season or Awards Screens

The Glitch: The game freezes on championship or awards screens, blocking new seasons.

The Solution:

Navigate to other menus via your profile page (marketplace, packs) to avoid a full restart.

For a permanent fix, clear your console cache: go to Reset Console > Reset and Keep My Games and Apps. Many players report this works.

Unable to Start / Select "Play Now"

The Glitch: Pressing the Play Now button does nothing.

The Solution:

Try a quick tap of the selection button, pressing lightly and fast.

This bypasses input lag that sometimes prevents the command from registering.

When All Else Fails

If none of these fixes work, the Official MLB The Show Support Site allows you to submit a ticket. Always include details like your console, version, and which Mini Season you’re having trouble with—this helps support troubleshoot faster.

Pro Tip: For smoother Mini Seasons, keep your game updated, regularly clear cache, and generate the best squad before starting a new season. These small steps reduce most glitches before they hit.
