Staples like Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty, the card-collection/fantasy baseball suite now in its eighth year, are the two biggest reasons to pick up MLB The Show 19. They are brimming with variety and fun experiences both big and small.

Sony San Diego overhauls almost every single aspect of MLB The Show with this update, with the outstanding March to October and Moments modes leading the way. At least for right now, it seems destined to go down as the best baseball sim of the generation, and maybe as one of the best sports sims as well.

MLB The Show 19 it's a solid game and worth the yearly upgrade. The Road to the Show is still fun and there are some nice new additions (the mode "March to October").

MLB The Show 19 takes itself through the paces and comes out improved and enhanced quite well. The game itself is still missing a few features to make it truly potent. The franchise delivers a beautiful, streamlined product each and every year, and 2019 is no exception.

MLB The Show 19 is another fine entry in the series, with Sony San Diego doing what they do best. The new Moments and March to October modes offer some dynamic new ways to play, while the rest of the game finds a strong balance between engaged control for the parts that matter, while offering an autopilot for the things that aren't for everyone.

Is MLB losing popularity? ›

Formerly thought of as America's pastime, baseball has been on the decline since the 1980s. The MLB seems to be losing traction across the country with less young people tuning in than ever and should attempt to revitalize its popularity before irreversible damage is done.

Is MLB The Show 23 or 24 better? ›

Although the series releases a new game yearly, MLB The Show 24 still has plenty of new additions compared to its predecessor. Many improvements have been made to realism and quality-of-life, including a wide range of new animations, adherence to new MLB rules, and menus that are easier to navigate.

Is MLB The Show 22 good for beginners? ›

With practice, new players can become experts within a few weeks of playing. However, while experience is a great teacher, there are a few things to know that make the process easier. Games in MLB The Show 22 are long when the core mechanics have not been customized to the player's liking.

Is MLB The Show 19 still supported? ›

On January 05, 2024 Sony Interactive Entertainment will decommission the online service for MLB® The Show 19™ and MLB® The Show 20™ on PlayStation®4 systems.

Will I be able to play with my friends on other consoles? Yes. Full cross play is supported.

Which is better, MLB The Show 19 or 20? ›

In MLB The Show 19, March to October was missing something that allowed it to function as a microwaved take on franchise mode. In MLB The Show 20, MTO is more fleshed out with increased general manager elements like trading blocks, and more. There are also more rewards throughout the season.

Is MLB The Show difficult? ›

Difficulty is an incredibly subjective subject, as it really depends what you're aiming to get out of the game. In the case of MLB The Show 24, the release is highly flexible, meaning you're free to enjoy either a casual, laidback arcade-style experience — or a highly competitive one.
