MLB 14: The Show

MLB ’14 The Show is an integral upgrade for fans of the franchise that recently upgraded to the PS4. With no competition in sight, PlayStation 4 players don’t have any other options when it comes to baseball simulations, but then again, the year-in and year-out committment to quality from Sony San Diego made it so they never really needed those options in the first place.

MLB 14 The Show's shortcomings are ones that I understand and have forgiven. The core of the game is greatly changed; it is not merely a fresh coat of paint. ...MLB 14 still exhibits the kind of structural improvement that makes all preceding versions obsolete — a critical expectation of an iterative sports series that so many titles, even good ones, fail to accomplish.

MLB 14: The Show is a fantastic first offering on a new platform. I am impressed that every single feature is included, and the visuals are truly stunning. This may be the only baseball game in town, but it’s also still the best. I really look forward to seeing what the team at SCEA San Diego can do with the franchise as the PS4 matures.
