San Diego Studio’s MLB: The Show series releases a new edition every year, and MLB 11: The Show hit store shelves just as Spring training is in full swing. Does it add to the franchise, or is it just a swing and a miss? Read our review after the jump to find out.
MLB The Show has been around for a long time, beating out the competition and cornering the market for baseball video games across the entire industry. When thinking back on my previous reviews for MLB The Show, I always seem to mention that there never seemed to be any room for improvement, but after MLB The Show 16, there was much more wiggle room than I could have imagined.
In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.
MLB 14: The Show is offering a Miguel Cabrera signed ball and cap for this week's winner.
What does everyone else think about it?
Its brilliant, it has authentic sounds from the stadiums now and more animations, MOVE in HR derby is more fun than I thought it would initially be as well.
