The latest Showdown forMLB The Show 21has had a frustrating bug since its arrival. Those who complete the 11th Inning Showdown, a draft gauntlet of increasingly difficult mini-bosses, were rewarded a special voucher for 35,000 XP in the 11th Inning Program. Further, this reward could be earned endlessly, for those who completed the 11th Inning Showdown multiple times. That doesn’t mean much when the vouchers were broken and couldn’t be turned in, though. Luckily, a fix forMLB The Show 21’s voucher bug is now live.A recent message posted to the officialMLB The ShowTwitter account confirmed that developerSony San Diegowas aware of the 11th Inning Showdown vouchers. At the time, San Diego told players that they were still able to complete the 11th Inning Showdown and collect vouchers, they just couldn’t be redeemed. Hours after that message, San Diego confirmed that server maintenance forMLB The Show 21would be done Saturday to fix the issue. That’s now complete and vouchers should work like normal.RELATED:MLB The Show Could Be Coming to PC Next YearMLB The Show 21players should now be able to redeem all the vouchers that they’ve earned via the 11th Inning Showdown since the event began.
