    Will rate this game the same as I rate fifa, there is a potentially good game but the scripting is atrocious, even vs ai. Dynasty conquest so many perfect and good hits get caught out, we’re the ai on there 3rd strike seem to constantly get base runs. Thank god for game pass as I would not pay a AAA game price for what is a glorified mobile game.

Sony, your baseball game does not have anywhere near the following or player count as fifa, you will not get away with this basic b1tch scripting, casuals make the money for you so do not f them over with this basic scripting trash… Expand

    This is by far the worst sports game I have ever played. Inconsistent gameplay, bugs, getting disconnected mid online game constantly, I never had any fun playing and it's going to be a very long time until I ever even consider buying another MLB the Show game for a very long time.

    Needs to be fully "next-gen" and "next-gen" only.

    These cross-gen games are junk.

    Baseball fans will love it, but the game does nothing special to feel like something new – or next-gen.

    MLB The Show 23 doesn't reinvent the genre, but the franchise continues to stand as one of the best on the market. The gameplay is fantastic across all phases of the sport, and the line-up of modes has been improved thanks to the addition of Storylines. There is still room for improvement, but The Show remains a contender for best sports title of the year.

    This is a truly terrific baseball video game. And it starts with those excellent Negro League Storylines, a must-play for all baseball fans.
