MLB: The Show 18 CheatCC Review

MLB: The Show 18 is the definitive baseball experience. It is perfect for beginners or old hands of the genre, allowing players to pick the degree to which they engage with the game.

[Eonjay]

That is a mighty high score for an MLB game.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Indeed, but The Show usually scores very well. The game looks great this year.

[Sunny_D]

Seriously, they keep the quality high despite being the only mainstream baseball game on the market. Unlike other games on the market where they stay complacent. Cough cough*Madden cough cough*

[WilliamSheridan]

I love love love MLB Show, but honestly I'm also bored with it at the same time... Is missing something to keep my energy high. Maybe energetic commentary?

[solideagle]

MLB: The show games always deliver.

[IamTylerDurden1]

MLB The Show is an excellent sports franchise, i'm not surprised it's a 10/10. It honestly deserves more pub.

[MegamanXXX]

The best baseball game this generation and only can be played on PS4

[madforaday]

You mean the only baseball sim lol

[Alucard_420]

sims can still be a game if you want to argue semantics.

@Alucard_420,

I thought he was placing emphasis on the "only". As far as I'm aware there aren't any other baseball games.

Makes me wish EA didn't have such a stranglehold on Hockey, American Football, and Soccer. MLB: The Show is a great example of how to do sports games right and it's unfortunate that there's sports that are essentially stuck with EA right now.

@The 10th Rider

You are right! I don't know why I would say a sim isn't a game when the sim is literally about a game.

I actually had to look up if any other simulation baseball games were coming out that I wasn't aware of. I am like no, only RBI baseball is coming out which isn't a sim.

[Atticus_finch]

Nice score. Me and the Houston Astros will be spanking online.

[DawginTow1]

Ewww...

[Kratos_Kart2007]

Not sure if Joke or unfortunate accident... :) LOL

[Kratos_Kart2007]

** Houston and I will be spanking

LMAO!!!!!!

[Elda]

Fabulous score for a fabulous game on the fabulous PS4!

[AmstradAmiga]

Is no one concerned at the level of microtransactions in this game?

[choujij]

Found this:

Good for Sony for hearing what gamers wanted. Annual releases that sell well shouldn't feature MT at all!

[mercyblades]

Good find, choujij.

[Italiano1234567]

There is none the only thing there is is you could pay money to buy a shitload of stubs if you want that's it

[Kribwalker]

they still have the fifa ultimate team kind of MTs, and shit they can get pricey

Not a fan of baseball but this franchise has been getting stellar reviews I believe since the first one. Kinda wished that football games (the one you play with your feet) had a studio as dedicated in bringing quality as San Diego studio does with this franchise.

[G20WLY]

Same here. Amazing game, but I'm just not into Baseball. I with they'd make equivalents for other sports with this amount of detail and polish!

[PEEPer]

Sony studios are just getting better and better. Meanwhile at MS...

[G20WLY]

This game looks amazing. I just wish I understood Baseball so I could play it lol

[WelkinCole]

Meanwhile at Sony's camp. lol!

[PizzaSteve]

Still hoping some day San Diego Studio can make a NFL game. I haven't played a good NFL game since 2K and haven't played Madden in like 8 years. A NFL game by them will destroy Madden.

[DigitalRaptor]

Amazing. Best baseball game on the market, and I would argue in the sports category too.
