This is the first time I've picked up a baseball game since I played MLB 2K9 for the Perfect Game Challenge they had going back then... So about 7 or 8 years have gone past and I know The Show was around back then but it never caught my attention because I was an XBox guy. Now playing the PS4 The Show came back on my radar and I decided to give it a try. One thing you'll get right off is that they are very aware of what other sports video game franchises make in digital commerce and try to push their own in game currency on you. So if you were someone who wants to play online against the world be prepared with a major credit/debit card to buy some card packs to stock your team. Otherwise if you're like me and are only looking to take on franchise mode, play friends, or start your career the game is fun, challenging, and have you coming back for more. The pitching interface is an interesting take but effective to make a good pitch. Batting has variable you control and of course timing is key. Fielding is straight forward and they take advantage of the diamond placement of the PS4 controllers buttons. Running the bases has more realistic elements that I have not seen in previous baseball games and made timing all the more essential. If I am being picky what I didn't like is how blocky the players look. You would think with the generation of consoles were in that this wouldn't be an issue, but comparing it to a FIFA or NBA players are definitely plain. All in all, The Show is a fun game to play and you can run the different game modes for a long time before you get tired of them.
