Game Update 17 is scheduled for Sept. 1 at 4 AM PT. San Diego Studio says it fixes a black-screen issue that could happen after a home run at Field of Dreams and lists 45 player likeness updates.
Quick answer: The Field of Dreams fix is the only gameplay-related item in the official notes. Some of the listed likeness updates will take effect after the Sept. 4 roster update.
What does Game Update 17 change?
The official Game Update 17 notes list version 1.0017 for PlayStation 5, 1.0.88 for Xbox Series X|S and 1.017 for Nintendo Switch.
Under General, the patch fixes a bug that could produce a black screen after a home run at Field of Dreams. The notes do not list any other gameplay, mode, card, pack or reward changes.
Which player likenesses are listed?
San Diego Studio lists 45 names in the likeness section. It also says some of those updates will take effect after the Sept. 4 roster update, so the notes do not establish that every player below changes on the same day.
| Player | Player | Player |
|---|---|---|
| Akil Baddoo | Bryce Harper | Spencer Packard |
| Joshua Baez | Hunter Harvey | Kyren Paris |
| Clayton Beeter | Austin Hays | Michael Rucker |
| Tyler Black | Tyler Heineman | Thomas Saggese |
| Canyon Brown | Tink Hence | Cody Schrier |
| Gustavo Campero | Greg Jones | Chandler Simpson |

What changed in the Code of Conduct?
The update explicitly prohibits promotion of third-party currency purchasing, including sponsorships, referrals and related activities. San Diego Studio says enforcement against unauthorized buying, selling and transferring of Stubs or account services is not new.
The new clarification concerns promotional activity. The official note says players found promoting third-party storefronts after Game Update 1.17 is live may face suspension or permanent bans.
What should you do first?
If you use Field of Dreams, install the update before your next game and check that your platform has the listed version. If you are waiting on a likeness update, use the Sept. 4 roster update as the relevant date to watch instead of assuming every listed player changes immediately.
For the policy change, avoid promoting third-party Stubs or account-service storefronts. The official notes are the authoritative source for the patch and its enforcement language.
