How to play cooperative ranked mode in MLB The Show 23

While you can always play a casual match of co-op in MLB The Show 23 with your favorite real-world team, if you are looking to play a more serious mode, you are stuck having to play through Diamond Dynasty.

To find the mode, enter Diamond Dynasty and go to the Play tab. Enter Online Modes, and under Ranked, choose either 2 vs 2 (Co-Op) or 3 vs 3 (Co-Op). On the next page, you will be able to invite a friend or find random teammates online with a similar ranked rating as you.

After everyone has joined the game, the ranked experience is the same as you would expect in the casual game mode. All people on your team will choose position players and pitchers from their Diamond Dynasty team to bring into the game. From there, you and your teammates will play a game against another set of players and see who comes out on top. Between innings, you will swap control of positions and rotate batters. Depending on if you win or lose, your skill rating will be adjusted at the end of the game.
