Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

I'd always recommend the latest version tbh.

Plus where else can you get to play in Arizona's amazing new Unis?

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

Since it's your first time playing a baseball video game, I would suggest getting a cheap copy of '15 to see if you like the game first.

Even though '16 is an improvement over '15, you don't even know if you like '15 right now or not, let alone spending full price for '16 and not knowing if you'll like it.

Or better still, download a demo and try it out first before you buy it.

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

I just purchased a PS4, so that I could start playing The Show for the first time! I was stuck without a baseball game (Xbox) for too long and I'm super hyped!!

Now I just have to find a good explanation to tell my wife on why I will have two gaming consoles at the age of 32 with two kids and with little time to play games, but I'm sure that will work itself out.

Its for you to be able to spend some one on one time with kids. Just make sure you get some games for them to. Recommend any Lego title as I had as much fun with them as the kids used to.

Age does not matter one bit. I am getting ready to turn 48 and game more now than I did in my younger days.

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

Ok so this is my first time ever looking to purchase a baseball game as I just recently have taken a liking to the game of baseball. I am normally a NBA 2k and Madden player. I use to watch occasionally growing up when Bonds, McGwire, Sosa and Griffey were cranking out home runs left and right. Anyways based off the information you guys have gathered do you really think it's necessary for me to buy The Show 16 or can I get by with 15. Is 16 that much more of an improvement just based off the info they've given so far. All thought appreciated. Thanks

You know I am jealous of you getting to experience this game for the first time, what an amazing trip you are in for.

I would wait until you can get 16, why deal with a past iteration of the game when you can get all of the current rosters, stadium updates and all of the new features.

My son is 8, so we have fun gaming together and he is getting better every time we play. He is almost to the point where he can hang with me in some games, but I never let him win though[emoji6]

He loves sports, but I don't know how much he will be into The Show just yet, but I'm sure we will have some good home run derby battles!

I'm excited to experience The Show for the first time!

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

I would say go ahead and get 16 since it's the latest version and it has had improvements to all areas like gameplay, franchise, RTTS, and DD. Or you could wait until it comes out on Redbox and rent it before going out and buying it just so you can see if you like it.

No doubt that this is the best baseball game ever made. Was a huge High Heat baseball guy (best play aside from this), but looking at pictures of the graphics now is near vomit-inducing. Awesome gameplay, looks quite bad.

Haha, almost the same here, execpt I'm 33 already. As mentioned I upgraded from PS3 to PS4 just for The Show, but my biggest problem is the lack of time. Only 3 hours a day left when the kids are asleep. My wife doesn't like me to spend all that time playing video games.

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

If you love baseball just like myself I suggest 16. The improvements they made in gameplay alone and the player personalization is enough to spend the extra 40. As a gamer who was stuck with the 2k series and only played Xbox and was a "loyalist" to Xbox, I personally switched to PS4 just for the show because it is that good of a baseball game. I promise you, you will not be disappointed with 16.

Yeah I wouldn't say I love baseball. I am though beginning to really enjoy it. I just wish they could speed up the real game more I heard they are trying to make adjustments to that now. Anyways I switched from Xbox to Ps4 also with hopes of enjoying The Show.

Actually the redbox suggestion might not be a bad idea. My son just started playing baseball at age 5 and I can keep up being that it's teeball. Hopefully this speeds up the curve. But I also know from my recreational days lol

Re: First Time Baseball Video Game Player

I'm on the same boat as OP but I haven't played in 5 years (Xbox Gamer) but since I've purchased a PS4 MLB 16 was one of those games I just had to get.
Have fun
