Terrible. No next gen graphical improvements or FPS. No dirt physics whatsoever and players still allergic to touching bases when sliding. Basically the exact same gameplay features and no change in the pregame presentation. RTTS remains unimproved, same with franchise. Heck, you have the EXACT same clubhouse visuals when in the menu. No year to year save imports, which used to be a feature and a great one at that. But hey, you got shiny DD cards and cupcake bat decals to spend mommy and daddy's credit card money on right? Ridiculous. These monopolies need to end. EA sucks, 2K getting lazy and too monetized as is The Show.
@@snoop11080 yeah there’s some small graphic updates that I really like but I feel like it’s the same game from last year (although I mainly play RTTS so I’m sure there are some nice changes to Franchise and DD)
Thanks to the game pass I am trying the game for the first time ever. I dug into a quick game and am very impressed. I've never felt closer to the real thing besides watching live. Seeing all the animations and just the realism of it got me super excited. It's like watching fireworks for the first time with the oohs and ahs. Absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to dig in more and hopefully it will only get better. Unfortunately I'm not a franchise player and not into all the creative drafts and whatnot. Just the visuals and gameplay are awesome! Just to pick up and play a quick game is good enough for me!
I've been an mlb the show fan for so many years but starting two years ago, I've stopped pre-ordering the game because it just felt like the same experience every year. It's baseball after all and that hasn't changed much since the 1800's 😅
Still no season to season Save transfer? yeah, i will continue to pass. they need to connect my franchise from 2020. Until then, i will keep playing 20.
Would you guys recommend to someone like me who never played baseball games I usually play madden or fiffa and 2k recently bought hockey to give it a try so now I wanna try so do you guys think I should buy it???
Thanks for the video Jacob. Now I'm sort of stumped. I'm strictly a franchise player who was looking forward to picking up the new game and now I'm not so sure.
It really comes down to how much you play games in franchise mode. If you are like me and simulate a good bit or manage games, then I would recommend waiting for a discount
@@JacobReid I play 100% in franchise. Sim about 30% of MLB games and about 75% of minors. I do play quite a bit of minors developing my draft picks though. I like the updates you're talking about in the video but I don't think it's worth leaving everything I've built this far. You'd think they'd at least make it possible to transfer your franchise into the new version to encourage players to update but SDS does one thing consistently, not listen to consumers. Not throwing shade, just giving 100% facts.
Im british playing 22 wif american friend but the game freezes so often around 4 or 5th innings it infuriating.. 23 onsale for £16.. All we wanna know is.. Does co op run smoothly with no crashes..??
9:50 Haven’t played game yet and won’t until tomorrow but the scouting feature appears to be nothing more than a UI change. It’s not like they added new tasks to the scouting/drafting feature besides that it’s a weekly thing now. Still the same boring text based feature that gives no personality to the scouts or players nor does it provide new scenarios to go with the prospects. They will never redo the entire mode because they would require more resources. Your review is spot on!!👍
Extra play offline in the franchise mode you have no reason to upgrade and I'll be 23 because you can do the same thing in MLB 22 just go to the MLB 23 season they're wasting your money if you play franchise mode offline no reason to buy the new game you can make adjustment and changes in MLB 22 and add what you want to add and make trades there is no difference
Brilliant stuff!, being a Madden player and as it’s free on game pass I’d already decided I was giving it a go!, Baseball has always piqued my interest so I’ll be all over your instructional videos for newbies!! Great stuff as usual my man 👍
I’ve played a ton of these over the years and the fact it’s a decent upgrade compared to the marginal ones makes me happy. Might even cop full price LMOA
I am Scottish. I have never played or watched baseball. I seem this and thought it looks cool. Is it the kind of game someone with zero knowledge of baseball could play and get into the sport from?
Same, seems very shitty to me though. You put the aim in the exact place the spot goes with good timing and you don’t even swing it doesn’t even make sense
dude i agree so much about the hitting thing you were talking about at the beginning of your video. I haven't played mlb 23 but I believe you. finally they improved the hitting. can't believe it was trash for so long and no one really complained as much as they should've.
Not worth it. I wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for this crap. This is literally the worst MLB The Show ever. All of the changes they made are terrible. The Negro League mode is the only good thing about the game.
I only play seasons really , not even franchise I never care about budgets and stuff , and all that shit ! Just want to play a season with the Mets, but the rosters are a joke ! I mean you hit finally without the sliders being all the way up , but I agree with you bro , the game definitely not worth buying! All they care about dynasty mode for the micro transactions shit ! Just like EA !
They game pretty much looks the same , was actually looking forward to the series x version , but it really doesn’t look that much better! But yeh you can hit the damn ball ! The rosters are awful especially for us Mets fans , Kodi Senga is still in Japan I guess lol! I usually buy for switch , but I’m gonna wait until they fix the roster’s because I only care about franchise, or seasons really ! So game pass is my only option, so glad I didn’t actually buy it !
Ya if I didn’t have game pass I’d pass……got 22 on ps5 was okay but wasn’t much different the 21 the field looks like crap…animations are exact same. Your paying 100 bux (Canadian) for a roster update. Stop buying this game lol
I agree... hitting a homerun is damn nesr impossible. I xreated a player with power of 99 (both left and right) and guess what... i only was able to hit 2 homeruns out of 15 games. 2 homeruns?!? May just go back to theShow20
I can barely even get a hit in RTTS. My player is 7/30. 5Ks, all the other outs were on good/good timing. I had an out where it said I hit the ball with a 104 ev, and it was a bloop fly ball, like what
I didn't think hitting could get worse than 22, but man, this game proved me wrong, it's ass. Negro Leagues is just moments, could've made it like another kind of seasons/franchise mode . RTTS is awful, I miss having the amateur showcase and trying to climb draft boards. Franchise is the same shit every year. Year to year saves need to come back. Stadium Creator needs to allow BP behind the wall.
The pitching and swinging motions look so terrible. Unfortunately they have no incentive to improve them. DD players do not care about the details, they care about virtual cards
Hate that menu they use in the franchise and no chains outside uniforms no option for bracelets or tattoos. Same old animations and the good ones like throwing bats or arguing are gone. MLBTS19&20 for me
I completely agree… I don’t know how it doesn’t get mentioned? It’s a massive promotion of this years game and it isn’t even said once. Already played through half of them, and it’s INCREDIBLE! Amazing story telling, you get to know these legends, most of whom I didn’t know as a casual baseball fan. Highly recommended to play!!!

I’m just happy that this game is going to be on Xbox Games Pass so I won’t have to waste money on a roster update lol
That’s fair!
It a lot more then a roster update. The game is very different
@@snoop11080 yeah there’s some small graphic updates that I really like but I feel like it’s the same game from last year (although I mainly play RTTS so I’m sure there are some nice changes to Franchise and DD)
Said it like a true broke bum

Still no season to season Save transfer? yeah, i will continue to pass. they need to connect my franchise from 2020. Until then, i will keep playing 20.
I agree
They used to have that didn’t they?
Stay playing 21
Lol aight man, you're 3 years behind. They're not going to ensure your 2020 team is still relevant😂. This is a silly gripe
@@elcee3292 😂😂😂😂
Would you guys recommend to someone like me who never played baseball games I usually play madden or fiffa and 2k recently bought hockey to give it a try so now I wanna try so do you guys think I should buy it???
I would recommend it
It pitch timer in the game?
Not officially I don’t think
Thanks for the video Jacob. Now I'm sort of stumped. I'm strictly a franchise player who was looking forward to picking up the new game and now I'm not so sure.
I hear you. I'm in year 2027 from 21 and I don't see any reason to abandon my team or the farm I've been building.
It really comes down to how much you play games in franchise mode. If you are like me and simulate a good bit or manage games, then I would recommend waiting for a discount
@@JacobReid I probably play 60-75 games per season and sim the rest

Can I ask who do you contact to get codes from Sony? Thank You.
PlayStation Talent Partnerships reached out to me
Forgive me but, do you happen to have the e-mail contact?
Where can you change the season length? I won’t be able to play 162 games
You can’t, but you can simulate game or quick manage them
@@JacobReid that’s wack. The show is clearly taking things out of franchise mode to steer players towards diamond dynasty and buying packs
THey can't open draft pool for following year after draft because it's generated when you go from off-season to preseason each year.
9:50 Haven’t played game yet and won’t until tomorrow but the scouting feature appears to be nothing more than a UI change. It’s not like they added new tasks to the scouting/drafting feature besides that it’s a weekly thing now. Still the same boring text based feature that gives no personality to the scouts or players nor does it provide new scenarios to go with the prospects. They will never redo the entire mode because they would require more resources. Your review is spot on!!👍
Yeah scouting always been ass in this game. They should just go back to the simple scouting they had in like 19
Except you only get 3 scouts into of 4
I always look forward towards your reviews my friend.
God this is what makes me miss Xbox gamepass always had the day 1 releases
Extra play offline in the franchise mode you have no reason to upgrade and I'll be 23 because you can do the same thing in MLB 22 just go to the MLB 23 season they're wasting your money if you play franchise mode offline no reason to buy the new game you can make adjustment and changes in MLB 22 and add what you want to add and make trades there is no difference
Great video! Thanks so much. I stopped playing last year because of the hitting so I am excited to try it now
Brilliant stuff!, being a Madden player and as it’s free on game pass I’d already decided I was giving it a go!, Baseball has always piqued my interest so I’ll be all over your instructional videos for newbies!! Great stuff as usual my man 👍
Hey, what do you mean by game pass?
@@margaretpark2 game pass ultimate is something you pay for on Xbox , you get games to play for free
@@margaretpark2 Xbox gamepass. It’s the monthly Microsoft service that has a whole catalog of games to download
Is there a set number of seasons in franchise. For example Madden is capped at 30 years
I’ve never actually gone that far to know. A subscriber recently said they are 21 years into a franchise
If so it's a downgrade mlb21 I'm playing in the year 2166 mostly simulation
I’ve played a ton of these over the years and the fact it’s a decent upgrade compared to the marginal ones makes me happy. Might even cop full price LMOA
Bring mvp baseball back
I am Scottish. I have never played or watched baseball. I seem this and thought it looks cool. Is it the kind of game someone with zero knowledge of baseball could play and get into the sport from?
Yes! I was not a fan of baseball 10 years ago, until my friends introduced me to this game. It may take a little while to learn, but it’s very fun!
@@JacobReid Well the Mrs and kids are away for a week. So I have time to myself. I will need to try it then. Thanks.
Same, seems very shitty to me though. You put the aim in the exact place the spot goes with good timing and you don’t even swing it doesn’t even make sense
A better question would be: Is ANY Sports Video Game worth your time?
Why can’t we get classic teams ???? Like 2k .🤔
Because this is EA bro..Every sporting title by EA is a pack opening simulator.
dude i agree so much about the hitting thing you were talking about at the beginning of your video. I haven't played mlb 23 but I believe you. finally they improved the hitting. can't believe it was trash for so long and no one really complained as much as they should've.
It's free on Game pass will try it out why not I haven't played a baseball game in a while!
Xbox players are making out on that game pass deal. The Psn version is kind crap
I have all the shows but still enjoy playing 13 on ps3...
Not worth it. I wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for this crap. This is literally the worst MLB The Show ever. All of the changes they made are terrible. The Negro League mode is the only good thing about the game.

He's not kidding it's bad especially the hitting
Agreed I' deleted after 2 days of playing that trash glitchy arse game! its crap they messed up bad
The new scouting and drafting system is stupid
Gameplay looks slow
its total garbage
It’s always been a bit slow. Not much has changed this year

This game is trash, it's hard to hit anything on here it's basically a pitcher's game this season

I find it to be the opposite. Using zone hitting is really satisfying for me this year
My opinion 22 is better then 23. To many good cards released into the game already. Pointless to even play ranked. Everybody already has a god squad
Hitting is impossible on ps4. Need new gen to be able to compete. 22 is more friendly for current gen. Hitting is also awful as well.
Thanks, just gonna get 22 on sale
I didn't think hitting could get worse than 22, but man, this game proved me wrong, it's ass. Negro Leagues is just moments, could've made it like another kind of seasons/franchise mode .

MLBTS19&20 for me
It’s an awful game compared to 22
I agree, I could barely hit anything, good thing I got gamepass because I'd be pissed 😂
agreed I deleted after two days
To me it’s pretty much a copy of 22 with better batting. Not much difference though imo
IVE BEEN GETTING A DECENT BIT OF GLITCHES
This is the worst mlb the show ever be a pro and I can’t control my attribute
agreed
So lame it’s a good game but they only care about micro transactions. Road to the show should be a lot better . It’s the same as the last 2 years
Why didnt he talk about the negro leagues?????
No interest. I’ve heard it’s just extra DD content
long story short, NO
4:53 you were provided a copy of the game by target after you paid!! Nice!!! Just like everyone else who bought the game 😎
Waited for you to talk about the Negro Leagues
I haven’t touched it. From what I hear it’s just more diamond dynasty content
I completely agree… I don’t know how it doesn’t get mentioned? It’s a massive promotion of this years game and it isn’t even said once.
Already played through half of them, and it’s INCREDIBLE! Amazing story telling, you get to know these legends, most of whom I didn’t know as a casual baseball fan. Highly recommended to play!!!
