The strength of the MLB The Show series has always been its authentic gameplay, which traditionally does a fantastic job capturing the essence of baseball. The 2018 version of The Show continues that trend, creating the most realistic baseball game to date. However, the nuanced gameplay and visual changes don't quite make up for the lack of innovation – or removal – of MLB The Show's core modes.

GameSpot
MLB The Show 18 controls like a dream, and is the best-looking baseball game ever made.
USgamer
MLB The Show 18 remains one of the most beautiful and polished sports sims around.
