Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into MLB The Show lately, and one thing that kept bugging me was all those little symbols. I’d see them on player cards, during games, everywhere – and I had NO clue what most of them meant. So, I finally decided to figure it all out, and man, it’s a game-changer.

First, I started by just playing the game, like normal. But this time, I paid extra attention to where and when these symbols popped up. I noticed they were all over the place – on the player cards in Diamond Dynasty, next to player names during gameplay, and even in the menus.
Then, I hit the internet. I googled stuff like “MLB The Show symbols meaning” and “MLB The Show icon guide.” I found some helpful forum posts and a few articles, but nothing was really comprehensive. It was all scattered bits and pieces of information.
So, I decided to get organized. I grabbed a notebook and started making a list. Every time I saw a symbol I didn’t recognize, I paused the game, sketched it out, and wrote down where I saw it. Was it on a player card? During a specific play? This helped me start connecting the dots.

I then categorized the sumbols to make it easy to understand.
- Quirks:These have a great impact on how the player acts in certain game scenarios.
- Inside Edge:Daily ratings boosts and drops based on real-life matchups.
- Equipment: All the Equipments your player has.
For example, I finally figured out what is Quirks! There are active and passive ones, which can be a game changer.I also found that some of these symbols represent a daily ratings boosts and drops based on real-life matchups, which is called Inside Edge.
After doing all this, it’s way easier to make strategic decisions. I’m not just guessing anymore – I actually understand what’s going on! It’s made the game even more fun, to be honest.
