Quirks in MLB The Show 23 are a gameplay feature in the game that increases a player’s attributes beyond their existing visible attributes. This helps differentiate players from each other and makes players more unique. Some Quirks are situational – meaning they work based on what is happening in the game during a given situation. You can also ‘stack’ Quirks, for example if a player has the “Day Player” and “Homebody” Quirks, they’ll get a boost for home games that occur during the day.
