    MLB 15: The Show is a great game with a big problem. The game is a blast to play and very addictive. However, there are so many glitches that it almost takes away from the experience.

    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

    Never ever get these games. These are the worst video games I have ever played. This game glitches all of the time, it sucks, the players are in accurately rated and all this game does is cause stress. Also the MLB 2k games were much better but the show rant them out business.

    This "next gen" game feels like you're playing on a Playstation 1. If you want to swing your bat, you better press that swing button 5 second before the pitch comes across because everything is delayed in the game. Super laggy, I skipped MLB 14 and I still think MLB 13 is a much better, smoother experience. Don't waste your money on this 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

    This game is way more amazing then the reviewers in general are giving it credit for. 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. When you get a foul off late on a secondary pitch, then throw a fastball, it's a satisfying strikeout.

    Bottom line is that if you own a MLB The Show 2011 or newer, you don't need to purchase this one. In fact, this game is wanting in some areas compared to the older versions.

If you don't own any MLB games then I recommend getting 2013 compared to all of these or if you need one for the PS4 that badly, then the 2014 is just as good. Into the next-generation on my PS4, I was looking forward to a new iteration of more improved graphics, added commentary and animation. But that's not what I got. It's the same graphics, same animation and practically the same commentary. The differences however, where bad in a way that they actually took away things I enjoyed in my '11 version and added things I don't enjoy.

    I don't enjoy baseball trading cards; they're useless to me. I don't enjoy collecting useless items like rocks. Seriously, rocks. I also don't enjoy MICROTRANSACTIONS to help you level up faster. And I don't enjoy that it takes longer to earn points to level up in the first place thereby putting an emphasis on the need for SPENDING MORE MONEY. I don't enjoy that they took away my option to add my music into the game for walkups and relieving; but left me with about a dozen generic songs. And I most certainly don't enjoy the bland pitching style that they introduced at some point from now since the '11 iteration. Instead of placing the pitch, you just press "x" for the windup, and then hit "x" again for the release. It's like Madden NFL kick offs, except not as fun. And worse still, you don't start 0-0, but the game gives you a predetermined count of 1-2, or 3-1 for you to take over from. WTH? I'm the one who is suppose to be playing the game, not the computer. It doesn't feel like a realistic baseball game at all. In trying to steamline the game to make it move faster they took away animation of the crowd, other players and coaches. I want to see more cutscene animations of the ball park, and let me decide if I want to skip to the action. The Show just doesn't feel like a baseball game on tv anymore; which was what had the greatest appeal for me.

    Also, there is way too many frame drops here. This isn't suppose to be happening! This game can't be any more graphically challenging to my PS4 than the "11 was to my PS3. And I never suffered through frame drops on the PS3. It's pretty horrendous and it's definitely a game breaker. In fact, I'm going back to my '11 because the newer version isn't any better graphic wise, and it certainly doesn't compare in game presentation. Cue up the AC/DC Back in Black song, boys! I'm stepping up to the mound to shut 'em down!    … Expand

    I LOVE BASEBALL! So don't get me wrong on that. This game however, it just seems like the more it tries to be realistic, the more it fails. My favorite baseball games of all time are MVP Baseball 2005 by EA Sports, and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball 1997 for N64, because of the amount of stuff you can do in the game and with the game.

My biggest gripe with all of the Show games, is the fact that it's more a simulator and not a game, no matter how you try to manipulate it, no matter how you try to play your way, the game just REFUSES to let you do play your way or listen to you.

    Here's the thing, I could make the game as easy as pie, yet the game is still hard to play, it's still hard to hit the ball after all these years, the pitching meter doesn't do jack for accuracy, and no matter how good your pitcher is, I can strike out 27 batters, but never get a no-hitter or perfect game, something I can do on MVP or Griffey baseball. It's like the more you try to mess with the options in game (or rosters for that matter), the more the game hates you. So here's a question, if a game doesn't like it when you mess with it, WHY GIVE ME THE OPTION TO MESS WITH IT!

    On a more nitpicky note, The most annoying thing about this game is trying to adjust the rosters, every time I adjust the bullpen I would select a player and try to move him, only for either a different player to move, or nothing would happen at all. This has been going on since the FIRST MLB THE SHOW GAME! Something the developers NEVER FIXED!

    Another gripe I have with the game is Road to the Show mode, I have never played such a broken mode in my life, playing defense is next to impossible, the controls are unresponsive (AGAIN! THIS IS NEXT GEN! DEVELOPERS SHOULD'VE FIXED THIS BY NOW!), and the camera is GOD AWFUL!

    All this game is good for is keeping up with the rosters of baseball, that's it.    … Expand

There is a huge focus on diamond dynasty mode this year, and it's a fun distraction from the typics road to the show and franchise mode. Overall all the core game modes remain the same so if you're looking for innovation it might be better to hold off. My biggest complaint is that road to the show ultimately remains the same. The people at the show should really consider adding a story or more depth the the game mode. I am also hoping that maybe one day they'll add a make your own ballpark and create a team mode, but for now it's wishful thinking. To wrap things up, the Show still prooves it does baseball right, but with the lack of innovation it's closer to going down the road of Madden, with every installment being a roaster update.… Expand

It's just frustrating to move from one mode to the other because the players screw up so much and you can't do anything about it. It was impossible to stay interested.

    The licensed gear is kinda cool but after so many hours of playing I have the same things I received when I first started playing ... you don't get any feeling that you are rewarded. In fact you can buy in game currency to buy packs of cards which might contain players or gear! wow! I spend $70 bucks on a game and you can't even give me in game upgrades without spending money? Without playing all the game modes you don't get lots of points to spend on packs of cards, very frustrating.

    I rage quit a game recently because sometimes it's impossible to throw a strike... regardless of what you do. So I powered off the system and went outside. The game decides that next time I should get a reward... to strip me of the reward and make me feel bad for quitting. no reward for quitting. So then on top of the game screwing me over on pitching... it punishes my rage quit .... wow.

    After the dust settles and you play a few modes... you will see all the crappy game designs and cash grabs. Wish I didn't buy it.    … Expand

    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.

    Don't worry too much what cards you feed him, he can play any position, the Ultimate Utility man.
    A surprisingly fun mode to play. The game makers promised a free pack of cards every 9 days of logging in,
    after logging into this game daily for 15 days, I still have yet to receive the reward, a broken promise.

    You can also create a Franchise using your favorite team or having a draft and playing with your picks.
    The franchise mode is very playable, and fun, in the offline mode.
    There is also an online Franchise mode, I guess,
    as I have yet to be able to get into an online league.
    Making a league(Franchise) online, is a labor of love I have tried, but,
    have consistently struck out at due to its complexities.
    So I stick to the offline mode, this is a big disappointment.

    DD was to be the main reason for owning this product, but beyond the card collecting, the game is pure frustration.
    The game crashes, opponents quit, I quit, the fun factor in game play of DD eludes me.
    It takes 40 minutes or more to play a game, if you are on the short end of a blow out in the 2nd inning,
    do you want to waste 40 minutes of life watching Joe Game Expert pound you into submission!!

    This type of game outcome is common place, to some a 3 run lead in the 1st inning is the blowout handwriting on the wall,
    and I not only cannot blame people for quitting, I have joined them.

    Frustrating to the dominates of the mode, and with good reason they will complain.
    I won't change and expect to see more "momento for quitting" cards in lieu of a real player card,
    coming from the game creators following a "quit".
    There are many other flaws to the DD mode that move people to quit a game, many are in game antics that exploit frustration.
    The players you field in DD, to me, have little effect in a game mode that is much more about gamers skill.
    The pitching is truly outstanding but is so overpowering to the uninitiated that it makes DD a no fun mode.

    Another feature is the Homerun Derby on line, short in length and
    very fun to compete with your "Miggy" against their "Stanton", but,
    the game crashes as often as it finishes,
    and results in so many "unplayed" matches, it is, in the end, an exercise in futility.

    Overall the MLB15 is a big disappointment, the most playable modes are all offline modes,
    and most are equalled or exceeded by minimal graphics games like
    OOTP Baseball,or Baseball Mogul both PC games.    … Expand

    I find it funny how jaded and well flat out stupid some reviewers can be these days when dealing with franchises that have been around a while, especially sports games, it's as if it doesn't bring some new mechanic that completely changes the experience then people cry about how it's just a re-pasted version of the previous game.... the reason I bring this up is because my first experienceI find it funny how jaded and well flat out stupid some reviewers can be these days when dealing with franchises that have been around a while, especially sports games, it's as if it doesn't bring some new mechanic that completely changes the experience then people cry about how it's just a re-pasted version of the previous game.... the reason I bring this up is because my first experience with this franchise was MLB 09: The show and it hooked me right off the Bat (No pun intended) I've played every game in the series since then and every years the game only improves each and every year but you wouldn't know it from reviews, previous versions of this game like the 09 version and 2010 version got 9's across the board yet this years version struggles to get 8's, this makes no sense to me especially considering it's more or less the same game as the 09 or 2010 version that were getting massive praise but with added features and even more unbelievable realism, that's why I feel with these repeat sports games people are just jaded or stupid, The MLB games are the most realistic sports games i've ever played, sometimes you need to do a double take to make sure it's a video game and not an actual live game on TV.... as I said this franchise only gets better and it baffles me how a franchise that used to get near perfect scores in the past struggles now and gets a lot of 7's and 8's now when it gets vastly better year single year, it's not exactly a 10, i'd give it a 9.5 but since this scale doesn't don't .5's i'll give it a 10 because it deserves better love from reviewers then it's been getting.… Expand

    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.

    For next year though I'd like    Another fantastic rendition of MLB.

    For next year though I'd like to see, closed/retractable roofs. Much better uniforms like vests, correct material textures, correct logo scaling and just pay attention to the details more (twins missing stripe, wrong A's road batting helmet, white stripes missing from road jays uniform all need fixed just to name a few)    … Expand

    I've never played last series of the show before, also i'm not a big baseball fan. but I can tell you this, so addictive and fun. I bet you will love this game, even if you have no interest in baseball like me. I can't stop playing the show 15!

    Fresh new coat of paint covering many underlying problems that are still broken. Defiantly not worth the $60 price. Some good new animations, but some bad ones are still in the game. New color palette for dirt and grass that is not noticeable unless someone points it out. Same crappy player models from 2010. I'm going to cut this short, but they removed features from this game likeFresh new coat of paint covering many underlying problems that are still broken. Defiantly not worth the $60 price.

I'm going to cut this short, but they removed features from this game like highlights, analog swing with stride and other little things like base runner window. The online is some what better, but it is still garbage and not fun to play with the consent lag and freezing. Worst part is that more then half of this game will be gimped once they shut off the servers. I'll be voting with my wallet until they get the message that they can't keep putting out the same crap year at full price. It's time they consider a yearly DLC for no more then $20. But hey we get new rosters right?… Expand

    Hey, like I always say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. More of the same, but it's still the best sports game right now. Saying it's bad because it's the same as the last one is like saying the new Lamborghini is bad because it has the same horsepower as the last one. Great game.

    Ok so I'm 41 years old and I've been playing all sorts of games over the years in all sorts of forms. So I've made it an effort to stay clear of any baseball games on all platforms because it's just so darn slow and tedious. Since getting a PS4 I've been bored with the selection of great games and I needed a break from Bloodborne so I picked this up and I'm so glad I did.

Like I said I've been so over these games for years but I'm frigging loving this game. There is so much to do and so much improvement all over the board it's simply stunning. Love this!! Get this!! Wow!!! More legends please in dlc!… Expand

    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.
