How old are you, MLB the Show fan?

Re: How old are you, MLB the Show fan?

I'm surprised only 10% are under 27. It seems the emphasis for the game features is toward the younger crowd.

Maybe that's more of a reflection of the age of people posting on this forum?

It 100% says more about the forum skewing older than anything else, yeah.

I'll be 45 in December. My first real experience with a baseball game that I played a lot was Hardball on Commodore 64. Even kept stats in a notebook for my team.

Question for you guys:

Which classic game would you say had the best (most realistic) hit variety? (other than The Show)

Re: How old are you, MLB the Show fan?

I'm 45 and actually started gaming on the Atari 2600. The first real baseball game I played was on my cousin's Intellevision console. Baseball started out as my first love in sports and I believe I played every single baseball game ever produced outside of PC. I remember the MLB Baseball game where if you hit fly balls to the fence they would count as homeruns...Baseball Stars...Bases Loaded was my favorite baseball game for a long time and you could actually charge the mound and fight lol....Tony LaRussa Baseball where you had to keep your Sega Genesis on contentiously in order to retain your stats because once you cut the console off it would reset all stats back to zero. RBI Baseball III was the first baseball game where I actually played all 162 games. I was set for the playoffs and then my little cousin, who was visiting form Ohio erased my season by mistake. I punched a hole in the wall lol!! Who could forget Sportstalk Baseball and playing with different stars who had their own batting stances? I could go on and on...funny thing is, my first dip into MLB The Show didn't come until 2016. Needless to say, it was the best baseball game I had ever played up until that point. That now belongs to The Show 20.

26. First baseball game was all star baseball with Jeter on the cover. 2nd baseball game was MVP 04 then 05. I've had every the show game since 06. 06 is still better than anything RBI baseball has to offer [emoji23][emoji23]

That was the only version of that game that I ever played. I didn't realize that it was the last one that they made until I was looking over games because of this thread.

I'm 46. Had an Atari 2600. I was given it for Christmas. I found out years later that after I went to sleep Christmas Eve, my parents opened it and played it, then re-wrapped it before I opened it Christmas Day. LOL.

Took me years to get into The Show games, because I couldn't get the hang of hitting.

Probably my favorite baseball game was the NCAA baseball for PS2. Mostly because the customization was amazing. Every single team could be edited to be a generic team. The stadiums were fantatic. The throwing and batting were great. Really can't say enough.

Same here. The graphics were sub par, presentation as well. But it felt like the best “simulation” of baseball I played on a console that generation. I played it for a year but then went to MVP 2005 and stayed there for 5 years till I moved to PS3 and MLB The Show.

The game was bashed a lot (High Heat), but it really has the best pitcher/batter showdown and really felt like real baseball.

I also really enjoyed ASB 2005 and MVP College Baseball 2006.

I almost didn't pick up High Heat (2003) because (even back then) it looked rough, graphics and presentation-wise. Boy am I glad I decided to check it out anyway, because the gameplay was top-notch. Really one of the better simulation experiences I've had. I think there was a slider for everything in the game, too, so really could customize it however you wanted.

Like Armor, All-Star Baseball 05, MVP 05 and NCAA 06/07 were games I sunk plenty of time into as well. Man was it nice to have multiple options for a single sport to play back then.

I'm old enough to remember a time before sports video games were actually about sports and not card collecting.
