Most of the same game modes are present, but there are some newcomers along with tweaks that make this a step in the right direction. When it comes to baseball simulation games, there just aren’t many out there.
This is a fantastic change that adds some much-needed realism. The grind to making it as an MLB player is better represented virtually than in years past. For example, I rarely struck out in my 60 odd minor league games. Through no more than five at MLB level, I have struck out multiple times despite not changing the difficulty. There’s always an adjustment made in real baseball, and Sony has finally mastered it virtually. The addition of women as playable characters is wonderful, too.
When you’re expecting the joystick control, you waste time thinking and can’t get the throw off in time in most instances. It makes it more challenging and gives some control variety in an otherwise monotonous part of the game, but it’s a very difficult acclimation to make. The real money-maker for MLB The Show is always the Diamond Dynasty mode. The card-collecting team-building mode draws in so many players. The vast majority of those who stream this game are opening packs and doing missions. Therefore, it’s arguably the most important one for the developers to nail.
It’s a small thing, but it does remove some realism. Mastering that in mechanics is something most sports games have struggled with over the years, because it is challenging to simulate and mirror what a human might do and how they might do it.
