The CAPS look outstanding.

Re: MLB The Show 18 First Impressions

First thing I noticed while going through rosters/equipment is that Oakley is no longer in the game. Extremely disappointing. CAP’s look great. The batting stance creator is really fun to play around with as well. Really looking foward to the gameplay. I would personally buy the game every year even if it were only a roster update though, so my judgement may be biased.

Re: MLB The Show 18 First Impressions

Bunts are brutal. Unless I’m doing something wrong, bunts are flying off the bat. Is there a way to deaden a bunt? I’ve seen CPU rocket bunts as well so I don’t think I’m doing something wrong.

Re: MLB The Show 18 First Impressions

Been playing 17 since release up until this afternoon.

That said, up to 4 innings now on the installation game and I really enjoy it.

The updated uniforms look great as well as the amazing new hair textures on the face/head.

Also the new animations, and keep in mind this is after 4 innings, are so much smoother and fluid. They look natural and I keep waiting for some canned animation but nope.

Can't wait to play more and check out the new uniforms and stadiums.

Definitely a good buy for me at least. I'm already sold.

What do you honestly expect to change? Just curious. The stream showed no new features were added besides phases, and a UI overhaul.

Mannerisms are wayyy better this year, players react to things more appropriately and the color and frame rate is amazing, gameplay is good as always, one of the best looking Shows I've ever seen
