Just an observation.... people that say “it’s the same game,” are the same people that say that about every game.

I think Show 18 is outstanding.

So it seems as though the majority highly recommend getting this game. Now I'll ask you this...where is a good place to find a PS4 besides gamestop's literal brand new pricing for a "used/refurbished" system...

I am currently not someone who would enthusiastically suggests buying a console just for The Show, but if you get one, then you'd definitely be happier going for PS4 Pro. I have the game running on PS4 original and Pro side by side all the time, and seeing the staggering difference in the frame-rate and graphical fidelity, there is no way that I play The Show on PS4 original.

Keep in mind though that there are rumors that the PS5 will be coming out in a year or two.

I can tell you're going to be disappointed if you buy 18. Same ol game with sprinkles of newness on it with chunks (modes) missing.

As an owner of 17, 18 isn't worth more than $30.

Re: Talk me into/out of buying The Show 18

OK, if you had 17....I could see you being swayed not to buy the game.

But the last version you have is 16? Yeah, that's a really large jump....I think you HAVE to make that change. The ball physics and hitting/fielding improvements alone are worth the price of admission.

Re: Talk me into/out of buying The Show 18

$65 = 6500 pennies
6500 pennies divided by 365 days
thats 18 cents a day, a steal by my calculating
SDS is practically paying you to play.

and if 18 lasts you TWO years and you don't buy again until MLB 2020,
then thats 9 cents a day. that's a bigger bargain than the Angels got from Ohtani.
which is another thing you don't have in 16, at least not the real deal Ohtani lol
