Just don't agree. Baseball games are hard. Most suck. The Show is fine, but fielding and base running mechanics are kind of awful, and why so many choose to let the CPU take over that aspect. The AI that controls other teams is so awful it is pointless to consider its sim.
The presentation is boring. Realism is not art, it is competence. It's amazing how real they make it look. But it is a game that needs quick counts and simming to be playable. I had hoped that DD was going to be the thing that made it more exciting, but it just isn't there, for me.
I bought the PS4 slim months ago, and it just gathers dust. Worse than the game not really being very exciting, is the notion that in all likelihood, I will have to get up and plug my controller in to get through a game without it dying. I don't like keeping my controllers plugged in, but the PS4 controller cannot see to last through two play sessions. It's just ridiculous. It makes me never want to turn the damn thing on.
I don't need to read what others wrote to justify my opinion. I spent about $300 just to play the game. I played it quite a bit when I got it, and thought it might be the the things. But since Ihaven't played a game in months, and still have no desire to, I'm pretty comfortable saying that the game was not worth the money I dropped when I prefer the XB1 ecosystem.
Neither Madden, nor NHL, are as realistic as The Show, but both are much more fun to play on a regular basis. I will probably just accept that Super Mega Baseball 2 will be my baseball game once it drops. The first game was more fun to play the The Show. So glad it came to XB1 finally. I think the new art direction is really well done.
One of the problems I have with Sony games is the emphasis on realism as art. The entire point of realism was to perfect artistic ability, then to use our minds to push it farther. But Sony fans really seem to crave photo realistic graphics over gameplay. That's just not my bag.
