MLB The Show 19 MVP Edition - PlayStation 4

This PlayStation exclusive is the reason I purchased a PS4 & with slight improvements to every game mode, 2019 remains a great way to kill some time. A couple additions I am enjoying are the in game challenges & pitcher vs. batter Boss Battles. The presentation is marginally improved, but you will still get some of the aging commentary lines we've heard over previous versions. I haven't played a lot of online play so far, but the time I have were without issue.

Over past seasons game controls have improved. The road to the show is more in-depth and graphics are great!

I bought this game with very high expectations for it. I wasn't disappointed. The graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is smooth. I thought a game with so many options would be difficult to get the hang of. The controls are simple enough, where you can focus on enjoying the game. This is hands down the best baseball game I've ever played!

Love the Road to the show mode. Nothing like it, or as good. Single campaign mode in a sports game. They have changed to way you develope your chareter a bunch since the last version I had (14’) No more points, more about your actions on the field. No guessing pitches.

Caveat - my 13 year old son is the gamer in the house, and he's also a Little League ball player. He's been playing MLB The Show since 2012. He absolutely loves the franchise, and it's one of the few games that has made his "Birthday List" each year. The graphics have of course improved each year, with players easily identifiable in close-up shots. Game play is smooth, and once you've learned the controls, catching fly balls to right field, turning double plays in the infield, or gunning a runner down at home is pretty straightforward. The boy enjoys it, and spends a considerable amount of time on all of the extra features, like drafting players. Hours of fun and by far the most complete baseball game on the market.
