It's actually the first March release since 2020.



I expect next year they return to a mid-March release.



Especially with the likely July return of NCAAF next year.

What would return of NCAA Football have to do with The Show release?

Ugh I have a feeling we won’t see any graphical improvements because of XB1/PS4 still getting releases

No year to year saves in '23

Not surprising

the new schedule and playoffs is probably pat of the problem here but I think it would not have been in anyway

anyway it confirms for me to either just stop and give up with 22 now or stay with it

You're likely correct. I'm sure we'll go without any current rules and review changes again as well...

Glad we don't have to wait much longer to get more information. Hoping Thursday they announce the stream schedule as well as the dates for the Tech Test.

I still don't get why Xbox gets it on day one on game pass and Playstation doesn't get anything.

Not necessarily. Madden and NBA both have different graphics on the next-gen systems than the old systems. So it's possible that could be the case this year.

Because Sony makes the game and wants to still charge $70 for it; they have said multiple times they will not give away the games they make in their studios day one on PS Plus. Microsoft wants a baseball game for gamepass and is fine just taking a fraction of the microtransaction money; they just want gamepass subscriptions, period. Playstation wants to kling to the business model of previous generations.

As someone who used to buy The Show day one on playstation for like a decade, getting this game on gamepass is like getting 6 mo of gamepass + the show for the cost of what I would have gotten the Show for. That’s the beauty of gamepass. Only 2 good day one games a year, and it pays for itself. On the otherhand, if it weren’t for gamepass, I’d never buy this game day one anymore, franchise hasn’t evolved since like the PS3, its getting beyond ridiculous how long its been since they’ve done anything with it and still are charging 70 for a roster update. I haven’t played the Show more than a month after its release in years. So it being on gamepass now serves more of like a trial for me to get my baseball fix in early in the year until I get bored of the same franchise experience and quit before May.

The problem last year was the strike. They've known about rule changes for a while now so I would be surprised if they are not in.

you think $70 is bad it is $125 in Aus (which is $88 US before someone says it just adds up as the same) and that be just for standard version. I laugh when I see the US whinge about $70 when we pay much more then that for PS5 games. I am tired of the gamepass debate. you don't own the game you rent it. I can play any of the the shows since 2012 if I want to.. if I just used gamepass in 10 years time I wouldn't have that option.

Honestly I'm amazed but pleased that it's on GamePass again. I still enjoy the game every year thru GP, but would not spend $70 without playing it or seeing it... RTTS and Franchise need TLC.

Since the game is designed for DD, makes sense to drum up as many users thru Gamepass for MTX's $.

Lol with the converting from gold trick 1 year of gamepass is less than MLB 23 at full price... Also if you want to own the game permanently you can buy it at it's cheapest sale in the offseason then you own it forever without buying it at full price day one + the cost of PS Plus!

its really only a small difference in money when you factor in exchange rates between us$ and australia$, and thats because of the importing charge of bringing into australia.
70 us dollars converted to australia is 99$
& 125 australia dollars converted to us is 88$

I think I am going to just roll with the Gamepass version this year. I like to play regular season games on my Pro in the bedroom and playoff and rivalry games on the PS5 on the big TV and setup. However, the cloud upload/download works maybe 50% of the time. It's aggravating to have that itch to play and then I try to download my franchise save and it doesn't work. I usually just play something else. Playing on the XBSX is a one stop deal and it's on gamepass. Plus I will be only be playing "next gen" version with all the bells and whistles.
