    Another fantastic rendition of MLB. The game is finally beginning to look like a next gen title with updated graphics, physics etc. The loading times are VASTLY improved which makes a huge difference if you play RTTS. There are still legacy issues like no closed dome options, sloppy uniform details etc but if you love baseball you can go no wrong with this.

    MLB 15: The Show is by far the best baseball game that has been out in awhile. In my opinion as far as gameplay goes it is easily the most realistic of all the MLB the show games.

In my opinion as far as gameplay goes it is easily the most realistic of all the MLB the show games. One thing that really stands out to me as to why the game has such a realistic gameplay is the hitting aspect. In past MLB games most people just used X to swing regular and maybe square to power swing with a big power hitter. In this version they have came up with three different approaches to hitting, regular, power, and contact swing. Being able to choose and execute use these three really makes it feel like real life situations and having more control where you hit the ball regardless to the pitch location. The other realist difference maker is the drag bunting. As I'm an advocate for some small ball being played in previous games the drag bunt wasn't very realistic. It was almost impossible to successfully execute a drag bunt down the first base line or to the second baseman even with the fastest players in the league. With the new gameplay a lefty can place a drag bunt past the pitcher and towards the second baseman for a base hit which is what the games best bunters do.… Expand

    MLB the show was generally a good game. It was better than I expected, and was probably as close as you can get to a realistic baseball game.

    There are many legends to get and use once the collections are complete and they are available from the start which is very nice. You have a choice to pay for stubs and get the guys you want from the beginning or earn them over time. You get free cards after playing games , doing homerun derbies, community challenges as well as earn stubs. They also update the cards weekly based off there performance on the field in the real life which is great imo. Very deep and addicting game mode.

    - I also love that if you may friends who are still on the ps3 system , you may play against them in homerun derbies , a nice touch imo.

    - The franchise mode is very deep and with the right people very fun , you can skip ahead to play games with users who are available to play ,so you don't have to wait on each opponent as they come on your schedule.

    - The graphics are amazing rather its on field or the crowds ,stadium detail etc.

    I hope they keep this progress up in the future as this game is now added to my yearly purchases.    … Expand

The most impressive aspect is not the graphics or the immersive feel of the game, but is the way that when you think like a batter, or like a pitcher, the game responds realistically.

    Since '08, The Show has been the best (now only) baseball sim on the console market. Each year there are subtle tweaks that edge it closer to perfection. The player models, however, are beginning to show their age. Give or take a few framerate hiccups, this game in motion is something to behold. Unless you're still clinging to a modded MVP 2005 or High Heat, this is the way to go for baseball.

    Featuring a bunch of improvements over last year, with the much anticipated licensed gear, it's definitely worth the price of admission. Graphics and lighting has gone up a notch, and animations are more lifelike. I've played several games online and in diamond dynasty with absolutely no lag, maybe a hiccup during camera cuts but not any during gameplay.

    I'd give it a 10 except that I've found several gameplay bugs that affect play outcomes. And to me, a "10" is for the "perfect" game, and I don't think more than a handful in the history of gaming even exist.

    tbh I've never understood people rating an annual franchise game badly because there's very little change from the previous version like it's a big shock to them. I mean, they give it "Big Rig"-level ratings for awfulness. LOL The online coverage of every major game is SO thorough pre-release nowadays that you know EVERY detail about it before it's even out, or you're intentionally NOT reading anything about it. And yet, they are "surprised" by how similar it is. Just a bit of friendly advice: DON'T BUY IT. Or at least, wait until you can read some reviews after it's released to make a more informed purchase decision.    … Expand

    First off?

    Anyone who'd take time out of their life - stop to leave a 0 for this game - THE SHOW, as their 2nd review ever - and taking even more time out of their life to review R.B.I. baseball (and gave it a 10, truly, one of the worst games I've ever played, in general), is in DESPERATE need of a hooker. I mean, I get it - It's common knowledge when a trick run out of **** to do,    First off?

I mean, I get it - It's common knowledge when a trick run out of **** to do, they get behind a keyboard and take out their tantrums on the video game system they don't like.

    BUT DAMN Hcliffed!?! I mean, it was hard enough to say "video game systems he didnt like" without shaking my head - but it's damn near heartbreaking when you realize how close to the truth I am. Trust me son; Life gets better - and one day, you'll look back and remember a time when you didn't find significance in fighting a video game war (lol SEE? Read it back to me. "Video game war." You get any medals for that? lol)

    On to the beef: I can tell you how much you'll like MLB The Show 15 by you asnwering one question;

    Did you own MLB The Show 13 and still LOVE & ADORE MLB The Show 14? Yes? Then you'll more than likely LOVE MLB 15.

    Were you disappointed with 14? Then, guess what? You run the gambit - Probably 50% chance you may be slightly to moderately disappointed with MLB15 - unless you're really looking out for subtle improvements - of which, there are plenty.

    For me? Those subtleties? They add up - so skipping to the end - My conclusion is, it's a GREAT game (what an "8" really should be) and I'll be playing it all damn summer.

    Now...

    Is it ground breaking? No.

    Is it an improvement? Oh yeah. How much? Depends on what you wanted.

    If you asked me - Is The Show 15 the best baseball game on the planet? No question, yes - will be my answer - especially with the new logo editors and community content that we always get (OFSM - you KNOW what it is - cant wait for that OFSM to drop).

    Was I disappointed on some levels? Yes. No doubt.

    1. No sounds of the show (LOVED Sounds of The Show for PS3; Loved having fat ass Griffey Junior coming out to NBN - That said? I'm quite sure we can blame Sony Music Unlimited; this is due to a PS4 hardware issue for lack of native mp3 support - nothing SD Studios could do about it sadly - still, I was hoping THEY'd of spurred change on behalf of SCEA).

    2. Not as much equipment as I was looking for - Also, with real equipment? I was hoping for real stadium ad's billboards and restaurant names. Still swing and a miss

    3. Lastly? I DO understand the complaint about the commentary. First of all; most people have NO idea how much it costs to pay for play by play commentary in A BASEBALL GAME. This aint Golf, Trick; But... Anyone who's been a fan of any team who had a truly great announcer (Dave Niehaus for me) knows how much personality it can give the sport. For me? I have just as much wonderful memories of baseball just listening to the radio call as I do watching it on TV. It can mean a lot - and yes! It's VERY expensive to voice a baseball game... but were not asking for every year, here. To me, I've felt like it's been the exact same for over 3 years. I know thats not %100 true; but if it's giving me that impression? They aren't doing enough to mix it up. You dont need a full new track every year but Im hoping they figure this out eventually. Inject more variety; even if you have to add to it bit by bit, every year.

    There are a few more disappointments, but all relatively minor.

    Otherwise? Its the Show 14; but faster, smoother, tighter, crisper, visually more impressive; Directional hitting? Love it pulling the ball on the right pitch inside; A real cut off man that AI runner will react to??? YES PLEASE. The ambiance? Is even better, and Im still not sure how its possible - and HOLY CRAP I can play online without desync in the 2nd inning?!?! Maybe I should give it a 9 for that alone (Did you FINALLY learn your lesson SCEA?)

    But like many; my expectations were pretty high. Largely? They were met - I cant see this being any more than a 9; or any less than a 7, again depending on reasonable expectation, your objectivity and love of baseball. Could be higher - could be lower

    A zero? A two? And you've never had to settle with 2k13 or RBI Baseball.

    Now... If you've never had the show before? And say you LOVE baseball as much as the rest of us do?

    Jesus... Boy, I WISH I was you - because if you jump into the show now? With MLB 15 being your first time? Your head is going to explode.

    The rest of us? You already know what you're getting here. It's like.... the Show 11 was a birthday cake - and you know you can add a bit more icing, some sparkly candles - you can cut it however you want... it's still cake.

    And it tastes better than last years cake.

    Go pick it up - I promise you this, it's worth a try - not any less than eharmony is worth a shot to a console fanboy's chances of finally getting lai    … Expand

    Last year, Online play was choppy, poor, horrible. This year has been very promising so far. I have played a couple of online games now and they were smooth and flawless. Offline play is gorgeous as usual.

    Most complete sports game, only miss an online road to the show mode for perfection. Great presentation, smooth gameplay, Dynamic hitting and pitching are great too. I love it.

    For someone playing the series for the first time the commentary will sound pretty good. However those who do so year after year are sick and tired of hearing the same things and not having the emotion from the announcers to match the big moments. It's well past time for SCEA to make a change in this area.

    Baseball simulation became even better but I still think it’s not the best sport to turn into a video game. There are just too many nuances – how you grip the bat, how your wrist works etc. – that are impossible to recreate. [07/2015, p.61]

    With enough updates to keep you going for the next year, superb graphics and the ability to import your saves from the previous versions, The Show 15 probably is the best baseball game out there.
