I've wanted to play this for awhile now since there are no other baseball games on the market currently. There's plenty of game modes and options to play. The controls are very easy and they have a few options to modify them or play a different style. I have to say the sounds the game plays through your controller are a really neat aspect and they have a TON of different voices and sounds they play through them. I recommend this to anyone who likes baseball and it might be difficult for someone very young to play thou.

Most authentic baseball game on the market. I actually ended up purchasing a PS4 solely based on the fact that this game is a PS4 exclusive. Highly recommend for any baseball fan. Not a great buy for non baseball fans.

Best MLB game yet. Very realistic. I like how trading is up to date. A bit of a learning curve from the previous games but nothing major. Graphics are great, announcers are great, overall gameplay is very enjoyable.

The graphics and controls make this game very realistic. I took off one star because, sometimes the hitting should be harder. They should allow for custom stance or swing techniques like outside vs inside swing.

My 11year old son loves this game. The graphics are out of this world. He really enjoys going thru the minors working his way up to being drafted. Lots of fun! Worth every penny!!

This is the best and pretty much the only baseball game available on the newer home systems (sorry RBI). It is much easier to play and more detailed than earlier versions.

Got this product while on sale and was not disappointed. Fun, realistic and great graphics. Got to get use to the batting set-up a little difficult but well worth it.

Loved playing this on my PS4 Pro. The graphic upgrades for 2017 help the game standout. A very in depth game if you want to get into it, but also allows casual play.

MLB The Show consistently reminds you that Sony San Diego actually puts in as much effort as they can on such a short turnaround, and the game shines for it

Love the addition of Ken Griffey Jr. to this game (I have a little bias as he was my favorite player growing up). These games get more realistic every year!

The Show has an awesome story mode. I wish all sports games had a story mode that was as in depth as The Show is. The graphics are pretty impressive too.

I bought this for my son. But we both love the fact that Ken Griffy Jr. is part of the game. The graphics are excellent and he loves all the options.
