MLB The Show 26 will be a buy!

[jada855]

After watching the gems EA and NBA 2k dropped with machine learning I know a lot of MLB The Show fans jaws were hanging on the floor. I suspect SDS will follow and the hope is they have been working on AI integration for the past 2 years and will have an updated graphical engine. If true 26 should be a huge leap forward in franchise and gameplay. I hope its a leap along the lines of that if you are playing a player locked position with CPU players they will adjust accordingly to dynamic situations when the ball is in play that would be the dream!

After watching the Madden 26 deep dive I dropped $150 on the game. Football is not even my favorite sport and after been a MLB The Show fan since 2013 I've never dropped money on a pre-order for MLB The Show and baseball is my favorite sport. I left the series in 25 and did not buy for the first time so let's hope the SDS team will have a better franchise mode and AI coach integration because baseball is a game with in the game. It would bring The Show to life! So for once I am looking forward to the SDS streams in the coming months. But if they do not follow suite like EA and 2k then they will be even further behind when it comes to sports games.

I mean.....I hope so....but there hasn't really been anything in the last few cycles that would make me optimistic for such a big update in one year. It's mostly been relatively small improvements in a couple areas than a big overhaul. Which is great for those of us who already like the game, but I get others wanting more.

It's also one thing to advertise huge upgrades and machine learning and another to actually implement those improvements effectively....I think it's a bit premature to crown Madden or 2K as massive successes before their games even launch.

I Wish mlb the Show would improve Presentation, Like blue Jays but an Jacket on in dogout after homerun. Closer entrance with music and light Show at night games

They have closer entrances, but they stopped working right this year for some reason. They do need the light updates for closers and even for HRs and wins.

For MLBTS26, I'll be in Day One, even early as Early Access. But I'm not going to base that decision on anything EA or 2K does or doesnt do.
