MLB The Show 26 - PlayStation 5

10/10 total improvement from last year totally worth getting.

Love this game so much! It’s very realistic and the graphics are off the charts. Easy to control the difficulty of play and you can enjoy playing your favorite team everyday! Never gets boring. Highly recommend!

I really enjoy MLB The Show 26. Its a fun to play all day long. I've been playing the series since 07. I really hope they update the broadcasting team in the next game. They need to add two more broadcasting teams like Madden. Plus more gloves and cleats in the create a player mode.

Back on the PS3, I found The Show and quickly became a fan of this video game series. But I'm not one of those players that has to return every single season. The previous edition of The Show that I played through a lot was '22. I've always enjoyed the "Road to the Show" part of the game, which is where I spend most of my time. NOTE: I played '24 a little bit, but not much at all. Returning to this year of the game, it felt very familiar and similar in many ways, of course. It is the same great base experience. But there have been refinements and improvements. I can't say this is a massive upgrade, but it is an upgrade, for sure. The graphics are better - though not a monumental shift, to my eye. I think the hitting works well - still as challenging as ever, and I like the improved feedback you get on your swing. Pitching has different options, and it controls very well. It is worth experimenting with which method you like the best. In terms of options, like changing your camera view, that is all user friendly. Navigating the different ways to play the game is polished and just as good as ever. The Road to the Show has had some improvements... I like running the bases more now, and being able to go to college before the minor leagues was a cool choice to have (*not an option in the '22 year of the game). The character creator options have been expanded too. So if you're looking for a high quality baseball game, I think you're going to be really happy with '26. If you love baseball, or just the video game version of baseball, this is another quality season. Don't expect a major overhaul if you're a fan, and yes, I wish the 2K baseball games were still on the market as a competitor to The Show - but as is, this is a quality game of baseball.

Presentation, graphics and gameplay are unmatched. Best baseball game ever from a former college baseball player standpoint.
