Critic Reviews for MLB 15: The Show
With its stunning graphics and pitch-perfect gameplay, 'MLB 15: The Show' is one of the best baseball games ever made. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it better than last year's edition.
MLB 15: The Show is an excellent, complete package, but there are no game-changing new features this year.
MLB 15 The Show is the best-looking sports game ever made, and it plays great too. Its game modes have grown stale, however, which begs the question: Is stupendous on-field action and stunning visuals enough?
The best game of baseball you can play returns in nearly the same shape it was in last year
Sony San Diego eschewed developing splashy back-of-the-box bullet points in favor of refining an already great game, exhibiting a confidence that is itself quietly remarkable — just like this series' consistency.
Minor refinements have noticeable impact on MLB 15: The Show, another rousing simulation of the national pastime.
Now that the PS4 has been on the market for over a year, SD San Diego has had time to fine-tune the MLB franchise, giving it more sheen to the point that it's easily one of the most realistic sports games on the market. MLB 15: The Show doesn't bring any major additions to the table, but it does respectably tweak the most beloved modes to streamline the experience for pros and casuals alike.
It's weird when you feel so unenthusiastic about a game that you know is "good." This used to be a series that I would never miss. These days, I'd probably take a long break from The Show if I could.
