    Anyone play MLB The Show 21?

    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 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.

    Bought this game and downloaded it a couple days ago. Started season with Mets last night drunk. I am now 0-2 to start the season. Lost both games in extra innings 2-1.

    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.

    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

    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.
