MLB The Show

Just picked it up, what's everyone else think of it?

Have it for the Vita and PS3... trading in the PS3 later today for the PS4...

My favorite current sports game by far.

Love. It.

I have heard nothing but amazing things about how good it looks on PS4... really, the graphics can only disappoint at this point. We will see later tonight.

So far as I can tell the only thing that didn't make the jump to ps4 is classic stadiums, sucks but that's a very small deal most next gen ports are really stripped down...

Game is easily the best looking console game I've seen to date...

 

[GBdomer]

Agreed, I am just starting to play it right now

I've bought The Show for the past three years. Every time, I give up after a month. I have no patience or plate vision, period. I can't manufacture offense unless I get lucky with a few singles on contact swings and then hit a dinger with Jay Bruce.

Seriously. Batting in that game is physically impossible for me.

One thing that is great about the game is you can hit, and pitch, like five different ways, so you can change how to do it to fit your style... it's def. a sim though.

I used the "experienced" settings, but I still use the one button hitting. Square for power, "X" for regular, "O" for contact. I try to use the left joystick to follow the pitch through the zone with the locator, but I usually end up guessing the pitch as well and then I get too excited if I guess right, and then I swing at crap and put the locator completely opposite of where the pitch ends up anyway.

Trying to pull back on the right stick and then push forward for the timing swing style was way too difficult for me.
