    Heres a REAL review that was not paid for by sony, mlb 16 the show is still graphically the same game it was the last 2 seasons on ps4. The commentary is recycled the player models still looked ripped from the ps3 and the jerseys still have no cloth physics.

    I give it a 5 out of 10.

    Great baseball game. The story mode is a little bit lacking, with almost no reaction to anything other than playing the matches, but the gameplay is solid.

    Another year and another good outing for SCE San Diego Studio. MLB The Show 16 has some great improvements for Road to the Show, but some problems still persist. Baseball lovers will definitely enjoy the game.

    You need to know the sport to master it - hence no 10/10 this year - but PS3's greatest sports series is on the verge of once more dominating all contemporaries. [June 2016, p.94]

    Sony San Diego continues to raise the bar with MLB 16: The Show, finding an almost perfect balance between innovation and tradition.
