    I'm a non-sports fan for the most part, don't usually buy sports games, but bought this thanks to the retro style mode, which is really cool. The game is a lot deeper and more fun than I expected

    I play all four major sports on console - football, basketball, hockey and baseball - and MLB the Show franchise is always my favorite. This edition is no different. Five stars!

    I love the Show and look forward to its release every year. Love the function that you can carry over your save from the previous year to continue playing in the latest edition.

    Good baseball game. Usually played 2K but decided to give this one a try. It was pretty good but can use work on it’s gameplay & graphics as some of the players look nothing like the game. Regardless I still enjoyed the game.

    Mlb the show 18 is about as close to a true MLB experience, road to the show is even better then before and really makes you feel like a young player working your way up the minors.

    My nephew loves this game! He asked for it for Christmas and hasn’t stopped playing it. When I purchased it, it was very affordable and shipping was so fast over the holidays.

    My grandson requested this last year for Christmas, and I forgot to preorder it. Was able to pick one up st BEST BUY in Garner NC and surprise him with a pre-Christmas gift!

    Always been a great series and that continues. Product came damaged so I had to return it to the store which defeats the purpose of having it shipped. It was a Christmas present and the store did not have a copy so the replacement was shipped and arrived in time.

    Not that great of a game. The hitting engine is broken. Graphics are good but experience is ruined by the bad hitting engine.

    If you have a PS4 and enjoy baseball, then MLB The Show is the game for you. I've been a huge fan of MLB The Show since it was first published. The animations and commentary is amazing. Play as your favorite baseball team and have some fun!

    I kept my PS4 just for this series. I feel it has started to feel stale though. Played another season and felt it needs more of a graphics jump. More animated stands/fans and weather would be nice. Maybe people swimming in the DBs pool.

    I haven't played The Show for six years and I should have allowed that stretch to grow longer. A week after opening day, the game has still not received roster updates. The game is marred up and down with bugs. And the game servers are a train wreck. Fielding is a headache with numerous ground balls going through legs and piled up throwing errors for supposed professional players through no fault input - quite the simulation right? Hitting proficiency doesn't matter and pitch choice no longer does at this point. Anyone can square up a fastball and the game seems to punish their use, there's no point in setting up pitches with varying speeds and locations, the best course is just off-speed pitches down in the zone. This game currently is a garbage fire. I haven't regretted a game purchase this much since Madden a few years ago. And like that, this is the last time I offer up my money to this franchise. It's sad. This series use to be the crown jewel of simulation gaming. Now it seems that all officially licensed sports titles are there to be microtransaction engines, The Show included, to the complete detriment to the rest of the package - especially the game's core mechanics. It's not just sad, it's sickening.

    I bought this game as a father’s day gift. I personally have not played it but he seems to love it a lot so I guess all is well with it.

    They have created caps for skills in road to the show so you have to pick a category of player that will only allow you to have high skills in a few categories, but it’s still the best baseball franchise that exists
