Anyone play MLB The Show 21?

[pologq]

This is my first time playing it since I have XBox and it became available on there this year. I really enjoy it. Play is difficult but not too difficult where it makes me not want to play. I like that things don't come easy as it feels more rewarding to pitch well and score runs, etc.

Played a few years ago on PS4. Mrs. made me stop playing as I was cursing out a 11 year old kid while playing online then threw my controller. Probably best to stop after that anyway.

I use to play this mlb the show a lot back in the day and i was ranked in the top 10 in online exhibition games on the ps3, i might buy the new one for the ps4.

I use to play 08 and 09 and 10 the show on ps3 and i play roughly like 200 a games online each of those years i think. I not buy mlb the show since then for the ps3 or ps4.

i always debated getting a playstation just to be able to play The Show but never did. after getting to play it now, i definitely missed out. i can't master the new pitching style so just using the throw meter for now.

This year's feels a bit off but it's still ok

Try to get a game in every day or other day

The new pitching mechanics are incredibly complicated
I use pulse for pitching as it credits user timing


I have Nolan Arenado on my team so
life is pretty good

pitching is really complicated i agree. there has to be an easier way.

i played super mega baseball and the pitching is a lot easier.

i really have to learn how to recognize pitches and not just free swing.

toughest part of the game, if you drop the camera level to see from the catchers point of view it is easier to see the angle of the pitch. but ya, if you are a free swinger on the show you will get struck out a shit ton.

8 hours to download? damn lol.

i have to do that. right now i have behind the catcher but the break is hard to read. if i lower to be at catcher's level that can only help. thanks for the suggestion!

[unde0087]

Bases loaded was the shit

[pilebuck13]

Bases loaded for the win as well as Griffey for the snes

I still have a working old school setup too.

[beantown34]

i have MLB the show 17

its the last year they still have "season" mode where you can just play one season 14,28,42,84,162 games whatever you want. then go to the playoffs

now its just the "franchise" mode where with 162 games and its too long a season


mlb 17 is the best game in the history of video games

[slayer14]

Did anyone play triple play on the ps1

[pologq]

Did anyone play triple play on the ps1

I loved triple play when i was in high school and college.

and i agree beantown that i miss just the season as a choice. i don't want the whole gm experience with advertising and revenue. i want the baseball aspect only.
