The Show returns as the best MLB simulator for the 2021 season on Playstation 4. Play as the 107-win San Francisco Giants or the Shohei Ohtani-led Los Angeles Angels or build your own team. A must have for the die-hard baseball fan.

Picked up mlb 21 at bestbuy on sale for 19.99 just to add it to my collection of ps4 games. Very pleased with graphics, really like the response time on the game. Game most definitely has more features than the previous years. I would purchase this product again.

Haven’t played this game in ages but this one has all the bells and whistles (plus more). Too many to list, just like to say the replay value on this is through the roof.

I have been playing MLB the show for several years. This was more special to me because of Fernando Tatis is the front cover. As for the game itself, I don't like some of the changes they have made to the controls. Like sliding for instance, it used to be flipping the thumbstick in a certain direction to slide head first or legs first and right or left side of the bag. They have unnecessarily overcomplicated it now sliding now. Really the game itself has been the same game over the years, just with the latest lineups, and control changes. This is why I give the game four stars.

It’s the perfect game to have in the library for when a group of friends come over and you want to play something that’s simple, fun, and can be comfortably finished in a single sitting. It does admittedly play it pretty safe with its level design, and as a result there is some tedium that creeps in towards the tail end of the campaign or a single sitting arcade mode run, but these shortcomings are for the most smoothed over thanks to fun combat, a charming and nostalgic pixel aesthetic, and one of the best soundtracks of the year so far.

I've been playing this franchise since the beginning, I think I have four of their different year titles for several playstation platforms and the 2021 version is just as good. The graphics seem to be a bit cleaner than the 2019 version. For whatever reason it seems to be a bit harder to hit on this one. The only issue is I wish they would leave the controls alone from year to year.

I love baseball and playing this game for the first time is sooo much fun. Love playing as the dodgers and going against the Astro. It’s fun to kick their butts. It’s easy to learn to play and you’ll get use to it. Definitely worth getting this game.

Great game for the family! We love the realism and features available in this game. We were also very happy to see that the roster is updated throughout the season to account for players who have been traded to other teams.

Another great installment by San Diego Studios. The game is great and the only gripe is that the PS4 version lacks the ability to create your own stadium. Aside from this, another highly satisfied customer.

Best sports game on the Market and it isn't even close. This game has so much depth and different ways to play, there's a seemingly endless amount of content. Gameplay can be challenging, but very rewarding once you begin to get the hang of the mechanics. I long gave up on NBA and NFL games, but I truly enjoy the Show due to the constantly updated challenges and inclusions in new versions of the game. Runs decent on the PS4, heavily crowded stadiums do cause some frame rate issues, but nothing too distracting from the core gameplay.
