I've never passed on the show, but this year likely will be. The devs don't listen to what we want. The game feels old. We want new player models, a new art direction, franchise updates, etc. Instead they are touting bat flips, and delaying ANY news of the game until February. I see why. It's the same game as 17. They always tout under the hood game play and animation changes, but if the game from an art and player model prospective feels like PS3, then it doesn't matter. It's stale. We don't want diamond dynasty or conquest pushed down our throats. We want progress in the areas we ASK for year after year.

And don't give me the same oh this is an old build BS. It's THE month before the game comes out. If I had seen this in December I wouldn't have been as concerned and disappointed.

It always cracks me up when people make protest posts about a game we know almost nothing about. I will guarantee-damn-tee you these same people will be on this board when 19 rolls around. It's like clockwork.

As someone who's had every iteration of The Show since 07, I think listening to some of the "gripes" people have are very important. Although I wouldn't consider the game "stale", I can definitely see why some people are saying that.

I've been enjoying the game for over a decade now, but I think I'd be lying to myself if I said it has blown me away visually since moving to the PS4. It's so strange because this game blew me away on PS3. First and foremost I am a gameplay guy which is why I keep purchasing the game, but visually it just isn't on the same level as some of the other games I play (Madden, GT Sport, even NBA Live).

It's a tough spot because, to me, the Show's gameplay has been good for so long that it's falling victim to itself in the sense people are looking for something refreshing. Here's to hoping I'm proven completely wrong in the next couple of weeks as info leaks

It is disappointing that the clip looks exactly like MLB 17. The fugly sky color, Judge's appearance and his inaccurate stance/swing. I'm hoping this was taken from a build that doesn't have the new animations in yet, but you'd think they would at least get the cover boy updated in for marketing purposes. I think the lack of any sort of media for the game this close to release kind of had me hoping for new player models and some sort of big surprising graphical improvement and what I got was, from the extremely small sample, exactly what I already have in MLB 17.

Obviously, it's only a split second micro-tease of a clip and judging the game based on that is pretty silly. I would love improved graphics, specifically body models. But what I really want from 18 is improved Franchise mode. This mode needs a lot of updating and additional features. Aside from little changes and additions here and there, the mode is not that different from what we got in MLB 08 The Show a decade ago!

I loved MLB 17 and still play it, and I will right up to the release of 18. I've been buying this series going back to when it was just called MLB [year] and I have never been disappointed in a release since the one that used to freeze all the time when you skipped cutscenes, I think it was MLB 2004 or 2005. So I have faith in the dev team and fully expect the game to be amazing again. But as far as first impressions go...meh.

I'm just gonna sit here and pretend these are indeed from MLB 17 and hope for the best on Monday when the trailer drops...

If thats what Judge looks like Id hate to see what a slimmer Matt Adams and Kyle Schwarber look like

Hey man, nothing wrong with griping, I gripe about games all the time. But to state that you're not buying a game when the feature list hasn't even been revealed because you somehow already know you'll be disappointed... well, okay.
