MLB The Show 21 Reviews
MLB the Show is an excellent title that'll be enjoyed by all fans of the sport and even those who are unexperienced in it. It's a beautiful example of how sports simulations should be made. However, this year's only a small step forward and unfortunately it won't bring much new content compared to last games.

Minimal additions are a feature of the annual releases and MLB The Show 21 follows that rule.

MLB The Show 21 is the baseball simulation par excellence, finally available on Xbox. Although the game doesn't deviate too much from past episodes, it is still a real masterpiece, suitable for baseball fans and newcomers alike.

MLB The Show 21 manages once again to offer an immersive experience and a precise gameplay that baseball fans can enjoy. Furthermore, the team added a really cool new futur that will let the creative people have a lot of fun with the stadium editor mode. Nevertheless, the new elements are sparse and the release on multiple generations of consoles seems to have brought the visuals and the performances down a notch. The game will still provide a lot of fun times.

MLB The Show 21 provides fans on Xbox and Playstation a fantastic day out in the virtual ball park together.
This year's best MLB simulation is The Show, but the graphic visuals without growth are disappointing. The clumsy cross between RTTS and DD feels like a signal to open the loot box. At least Stadium Creator soothes the disappointment. The new Pin-Point pitching allowed the player's skill to honestly determine the outcome of the game.

MLB The Show 2021 has somehow failed to absorb me, even though it allows even the most novice player to grasp and play the gameplay. At the time, I used to think I was playing baseball by hitting a tennis ball with a stick in my hand, but it could be because I had no interest in the sport. If you have the opportunity to try it, take a look.

MLB The Show 21 isn’t just worth playing on the Xbox Series S and X out of novelty. It is a pretty good baseball game that’s shockingly accessible to people who know absolutely nothing about the sport, while being exactly what veterans and fans would expect from a yearly update of a sports franchise.
Mandatory for fans and recommended for sports lovers, MLB The Show 21 features a competent and fun digital version of the baseball game. The visuals are beautiful, the gameplay is good and very customizable and we have many ways to play. In particular, the Diamond Dynasty and Road to the Show options are engaging and well-built. We will still have to wait to see how the franchise will evolve in the new generation of video games, but until then the players will be well served.

It goes without saying, but MLB The Show is one of PlayStation’s flagship video game franchises for a reason. As MLB The Show 21 proves, the game can be enjoyable to both newcomers and veteran players while adding on tiny, yet noticeable, features that make every iteration feel fresh. Now, gamers on Xbox can enjoy the fruits of San Diego Studio’s labour, and even enjoy cross-platform and cross-generation play with their friends. While that last factoid alone should be a cause for celebration, the former reasons add to the fact that it is, truly, a great video game sports title.
Outside of the gameplay itself, the game feels like a sometimes-ugly, disorganized collection of menus that wants you to pay extra money to really enjoy the most engaging content without falling victim to an endless grind.
MLB The Show 21 does a good job trying to teach the basics for those unaware with the sport, even with all the complex and saturated gameplay.

MLB The Show 21 is another great entry in the series, expanding the platforms while also heading into the next generation.
MLB The Show 21 doesn’t quite knock this one out of the park. Instead, it’s one of the most well-hit doubles I’ve ever seen. The foundation San Diego Studios has cultivated over the years has allowed them to almost seamlessly transfer over to the next-gen and has me excited to see where the series goes from here.
