Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great graphics and players look so real. Hard to play at first until you get the hang of it.

For the Switch to have an on the go realistic baseball game is fantastic. The graphics do suffer a bit from the higher end consoles but I play mainly in portable mode and it looks great on my Switch OLED. My son who doesn’t even like simulation sports games is into it also. This is also the type of game you can buy now and be good for a few years as typically these games don’t change too much year to year other than minor tweaks, rosters and a new mode here and there.

Disclaimer: Been buying MLB The Show day one since Puig was on the cover This year was the first where we did not buy the PS4 version on day one but rather made the purchase for Nintendo Switch- since the primary player in the house was now using the handheld over the Playstation. Unfortunately, after years of playing these games, I have to say this year's version made zero impact in the house. My kid played the Road to The Show mode for a few weeks, and then put it to the side. As expected, the graphics are of lesser quality than that of the Playstation- but being used to playing on PS4 the difference is jarring. The game modes are the typical ones, and any differences in game mechanics seem minimal (other than accounting different console controllers). We don't normally listen to the music genre that dominates the soundtrack, but in years past we would usually find 2-3 songs outside of our wheelhouse that would stick and end up in my Spotify rotation. This year- nothing. The lack of innovation is a shame too because with such a flamboyant and exciting player as Jazz Chisolm as the cover athlete, you would think Sony SDS would have matched his energy in the features, gameplay, and presentation. Unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case. As a player that has played the franchise for several years, I am rating this year's title 3 stars. If you are a player that has never had a chance to play any of the games in the franchise, tack on one extra star because it is still the best Baseball game on the market. Note: I plan to purchase MLB The Show for PS5 when the inevitable price cut happens. I'm hoping my impression of the game changes when playing on latest gen flagship hardware. Rally caps on.

Great game. Fun, entretaining for the family. Multiplayer

Great game! Fun to play! Great if you like baseball.

Good Game, Overall solid game play. Can be improved - More time to transition to fielding on Defense

The Show is still the best annual sports franchise on the market and this year is no exception. Being the switch version, it is graphically compromised but the gameplay is still as good the other versions. DD is still an addictive drug that will kill time easily. As good if not better than last year's switch port.

My son and all his friends love playing this game.

MLB The Show is a fun game and it has worked as it should.

Preordered this for my grandson. He was thrilled when it came. Plays it constantly.

Kids love the game! Graphics and gameplay are great. We don't do all of the online play, so there are some parts of the game that are not available because of that, which is a bummer, but otherwise a hit for a baseball playing kids!

Was a gift and the loved it. Would buy again for grandkids.

Yes graphics are not great, id say ps3 graphics however gameplay is amazing and runs really smooth, sounds of baseball are excellent as are the new bat sounds! Everything is here from the new leagues mode, that tell the history of the game as you play the great moments to road to the show. Only thing this game dont have that the big boy next gen consoles have is create a stadium. Pretty impressive for old hardware on a small cartridge..game runs smooth with in my experience no lag or stuttering. Very fun game and great to have on the go! Looking forward to nintendo next gen hardware so we can play these great games on the go with better graphics which imo is only drawback to this game on switch. But not a deal breaker by any means.

Great way to play the game on the go. It’s not gonna look the same as it will on Xbox or PlayStation so go in with mid expectations and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

As good as it gets for a PC port, expect bad lags but its the show on a portable console.

Game is good I'm really surprised how clear it is for being played on the switch no bad I know I know I have normally use Xbox but if you have a switch this game is good to travel

Fantastic game - well done. FUN! If you like MLB you will like this - I especially like it because you can play AAA! Great price from Best Buy too! Fast shipping. It’s nice to see at least I can play mlb on the switch, so glad EA does not have this license so please support this game because if you don’t and EA gets the mlb license you won’t get this game on switch! So give it a try it’s a good one and you can play it on switch. Support the companies that support switch unlike EA who never releases NHL or NFL games on Nintendo anymore and have ignored the Switch for so long!

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas I am sure he will really enjoy playing he loves baseball and loves playing on his switch

Hours of fun. Such wonderful graphics. My son loves it so much. We love upgrading to the new season each year.

Fabulous video game especially for your kids that play baseball. It is AWESOME! Great pass time when they are not on the field,
