brdu4 47 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Since this is the first year on Xbox how is this game? So I have some questions. Does it seem like they just copy and paste the previous version with updated rosters or do they improve from the previous year? Also what kind of game modes are their? Is this considered more sim or arcade? Edited February 26 by brdu4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknøwn 13,569 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 They do more improvement than Madden does from year to year but the basics remain the same. It has Franchise and Road to the Show as its two main. The Road to the Show you create a player and go through a showcase event and how you perform decides where you get drafted. Then you work your way up the minors into MLB. Its basically your career, you can play all through your arbitration years and then leave in free agency or stay with one team for 15 years, its up to you. Some times you get traded as a prospect, they try to keep it realistic. Its definitely a sim, its intended to be a realistic experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AUTiger7222 7,704 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 New to The Show for 2021 is a fully customizable stadium creator. The only sad part for me about this is it's only for next gen consoles. https://www.operationsports.com/mlb-the-show-21-create-a-stadium-teaser/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day they'll let you add your own expansion team as well. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info This is by far and away, at least in my opinion, the best sports game out there. They don’t ever do wholesale gameplay mechanics changes like Madden and FIFA do, but do different things with their game modes to spice it up some every year.

This seems like it would be a natural step in that direction. I remember how cool the old All-Star Baseball game series were back in the day that had an expansion team feature and a select number of pre-made stadiums to choose from. I always thought that would be as close as we would get to seeing in The Show. This just blows my mind what they're doing. I really need a PS5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malachore 9,513 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It's the best sports sim out there. You will need a monitor or very good TV to compete in the higher divisons online like Battle Royal and Ranked seasons. Also unlike in MUT you can actually buy the currency (stubs) and use it on packs or just buy the players you want. I'm able to complete the LS collection (every live series card) each year by May/June by just playing the market. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brdu4 47 Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 I’ve been waiting for this to come to Xbox. I had to stop playing Madden and FIFA a couple years ago because it felt like it was just a roster update every year. I believe Diamond Dynasty will be the mode I play the most.
