lol if the Show was a current player, it would be more Albert Pujols. Hoping the PS5 is a rebirth for the Show and it becomes Soto or Acuna.

This is the best way to describe The Show for me this year.

If it ever was a year for you guys to skip SGOTY, this would be it. * There was absolutely no progression in sports games this year. * It would probably be more intriguing to give *a sports games disappointment of the year award.

Moments concept was excellent this year. The weekly updates to mimic real life events 2nd to none. The only thing to improve in is more offline single player modes in dd.*

For only one baseball game without competition SDS could have mailed it in yearly like EA/Madden. But the don’t. They keep raising the bar. That’s impressive in today’s video game age.*

Re: Fact or Fiction: MLB The Show 19 Is the Sports Game of the Year

Overall, I'd say I agree with nemesis overall...to me it's still good, just not the standard that it once was.

Also, are we comparing it to the "20s" or other "19s?" For ME, NBA 2K has been a better experience as a franchise player than MLB for a few years now (obviously meaningless if you're not into basketball though). I just don't see how The Show's franchise gets to where it needs to be, now that March to October is there to pull even more focus. I really don't like how they spent multiple iterations to make franchise more accessible rather than expanding it and then turning around and making a brand new mode for that same base, making franchise feel more back burner than ever. I just don't see the same consistent iterative vision that I once did...feels more reactionary lately and the constant "maybe next year" franchise sentiment is frustrating.

Anyway, I understand that 2K20 is reportedly a mess (skipped it, as the additions to MyLeague weren't worth the switch, given all the other crap, so I don't know firsthand), so I get why that wouldn't compare favorably. Plus, the grimy monetizing practices of 2K keep getting worse and The Show is still a fundamentally good game with a deservedly respected dev team, so it's easy to see why people would call this GOTY worthy. So, it's a fair enough pick, at least. It's just a shame that the shine has definitely worn off for me.

Well, baseball games are always identified with the release year (since the season finishes in the same calendar year, unlike the other sports which identifies by the following year)....so comparing MLB 19 to the other 20's is appropriate IMO.

I did agree. But you’re correct. It is indeed time to upgrade the presentation again.

It’s been good for a long while. Just kinda stale.
