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.

Not debating whether to buy or subscribe, its a personal preference. I prefer gamepass for the show now because I am certainly not going to buy a game I play for a few weeks then discard when I can just "rent" it for the year on gamepass. I still buy plenty of games. It's just the Show just doesn't have the staying power it used to for me like OOTP does (which I buy yearly). I don't play diamond dynasty, I'm a franchise only player, and its been pretty much the same mode for a long long long time.

count me in that boat.
baseball is my favorite sport but I only started playing Show year round with Show 14 and I didnt have a new cfb game every fall. if ea's new fb game is comparable to the old cfb, thats cutting my Show time completely in half

I think that Gamepass makes a lot of sense for many here who feel like The Show has gotten a bit stale. I enjoy The Show. I really do. I probably play hundreds of games a year. But I agree with many here on the issues with the game. For me personally, immersion is my number 1 thing. If Show 23 could marry up with MLB2Ks presentation it would be perfect for me. I'd have no issue paying 70$ for The Show because I know I get the value back. But if it's basically the cost of a Gamepass subscription and I don't have to deal with the rigamarole of uploading/downloading my franchise then it's a no brainer.

If that holds true this may be the first year I skip release and I have paid for every version from the beginning!

This game still does not look anywhere near what a sports game on PS5 should look like.

The great gameplay improvements every year is just not enough for me anymore.

Makes me sad!

LOL it is digital!!! how does one 'import' a digital game and change you more?? just so you know our digital version of games is always $20 sometime $30 more then physical copies but MLB the show we NEVER get a physical copy so I don't want hear that excuse either.

my trick is to use my US account and pay for the game and I save a lot of money that way buying amazon PSN cards.

I'm also in that same boat. Once NCAA drops MLBTS will be on the back burner for me depending on what develops next year.

Curious as to what time Thursday they’ll announce the collector edition
