    Because MLB The Show 19 would be worth it to me for Road to the Show alone, with Diamond Dynasty thrown in for tinkering around. It feels like RTTS is really making progress toward becoming a role-playing game, with more than just cutscenes and a pithy narration or two.

    The Show never disappoints. I consider the release date for the game a holiday every year. Absolutely a fantastic game.

I've been a long-time fan of the series and have always purchased a copy. That said the two modes I play the most are Road to the Show and Franchise.

    That said, the ways they refined gameplay has been nice and their small visual upgrades have been noticed. I'm super disappointed this year but I have hope the developers will figure out their way in the future.    … Full Review »
