Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was skeptical at 1st visuals wise, but the game looks and plays well on the Switch

I'll be honest. I'd rather have PowerPros, but that franchise is never coming back to the states. That said, it is both awesome and surreal to have a Sony game on a Nintendo system - and my favorite franchise to boot. There are some frame rate issues and the difficulty is all over the place. Pitching is pretty inaccurate at times. When a you're aiming at an outside upstairs corner and the ball goes downstairs on the inside and clips the hitter in the leg WITH A PITCHER AT 100 CONTROL, you know there are issues. That said, the game looks and sounds great. It plays pretty well about two thirds of the time and it is arguably the best portable baseball game ever. It's even better than the first party releases of the Show on the PSP and Vita. Which is insane.

Despite the game being produced for better tech specs, this version brings all the features of the game to handheld very well. The MLB license is utilized to it's fullest with this game, bringing outstanding rosters, character creation, and a bunch of different modes with an excessive number of accessibility/difficulty options on offer. The ONLY con to this game is the low resolution at times, but performance generally is great--the frame rate chugs almost exclusively during cutscenes, leaving gameplay itself mostly unscathed at a typical 30FPS. The depth of franchise and March to October modes is more than enough to satisfy casual and hardcore baseball fans and the cross save progression across The Show's network works like a charm after a brief setup.

I grew up playing baseball, so being able to take this game everywhere I go is amazing! Playing it is so much fun as well!

Great graphics and sound. Game is alot of fun with many options

I’ve always enjoyed playing a baseball game more than watching it, and The Show is the very best baseball game there is. The question is, how is this on Switch? Well it’s the full game minus the stadium editor. And for gameplay, it’s solid. It’s a stable 30 fps from my experience during actual gameplay. I specified gameplay because it is NOT a solid 30 during cutscenes such as batters walking up to bat; frames drop no doubt on that. BUT, that is not as important as it is with gameplay and I have not had a bad experience on that front. Graphics are softer in comparison to like the Series X of course, but on a 7 inch display I think it looks great. I do recommend this for sure. I wouldn’t pay more than $30 though. And of course we know sports games drop quick so if u can wait, it will surely be worth it at a lower price.

I am pleased with the realism and gameplay. You have total control of your player design, and the player performance. Be sure to have enough space on the memory card as it requires a large download in order to play.

We bought this for our 11 year old grandson (at his request) for his birthday and he loves it.

PROS: Baseball on the go! Acceptable graphics. Lots of different ways to play the game. Easy to pick up and play. CONS: Frame Rate is noticeably slow at some points (they crammed a Ferrari engine in a Kia). Nintendo E-Shop does not integrate flawlessly.

MLB The Show is a great baseball game. It is very realistic and easy to pick up pitching and hitting abilities.

Good game. Kids likes baseball so he loves to play this game.

Just like being a pro player on the field. You control all the action. Just like being on the field during a real game.

I love baseball games. Its fun and relaxing. Always yelling at my team to run the base.

Excellent MLB game for the Nintendo Switch. Fun gameplay. I hope they make the graphics even better

I've never played a baseball video game before, but I got curious and decided to give the show a chance. It's very fun, but way too difficult for me to try at any setting other than Beginner. Slowly trying to improve! :) Having fun with it so far.

My son really enjoys playing this game. Likes even my then the 2023 game.

Finally we have a great baseball game on The Switch - The gameplay is excellent! I only rated four stars because of the large file size and the cutscenes run sub 30 fps (gameplay seems like a stable 30 fps).

Fun game. I like that this game stays the exact some from year to year

MLB The Show 2022 is an excellent game. Great graphics for the switch, smooth gameplay.

What a great game! My grandsons love playing it on their machine.
