    Is MLB 20 worth it?

    Sup all,

    Iโ€™m about to finish my first full season in โ€˜19, and was wondering if franchise mode and/or the gameplay in 20 is worth buying the newer game and continuing the save on there. Or if itโ€™s close enough to โ€˜19 that I should just keep moving ahead on my current game.

    Thanks for any help!

    Is the sun yellow? Is the sky blue?

    No brainer. Best baseball game ever made......yes it is a great upgrade gameplay wise.

    Franchise exactly the same except for the new roster and pitching rules.

    Well worth it.

      All about the gameplay๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ, probably best replication of a sport in video games and I'm a ๐Ÿ€ guy. Consisently the best sports video game.

        At the current $40 (and even back when it was full price in March) definitely worth IMO but it should be close to another drop. if you can hold off till it hits $30, I'd jump on that like a fat kid on an ice cream cone

          Agreed with above.

          For the discounted price now its 100% worth the upgrade due to gameplay alone. As has been stated the franchise mode is exactly the same except for new rules and I will add that the roster building by the CPU teams is better in '20 versus that of '19.

            After playing +400 games every pitch every at bat it's terrible. You'll be having... having... ALL THIS FUN!! Definitely didn't get my money's worth. Way to go SDS you've set this high bar for simulation sports. Okay I might be over selling it. I'm on the bad side of 35 so I have a lot of sports gaming behind me but it's probably the best sports gaming experience I've had in a long time. Not perfect but very good.

              and one more thing. you're probably going to want a different schedule to play rather than replay the same one you just did. the only way to do that is to advance your carry-over from 19 to 20

                Haha! Well then, guess Iโ€™ll be getting 20! Thanks all.

                I looked it up in the PlayStation store on my console, and it was still 60, but I see it for 40 online on the PS store and elsewhere so Iโ€™ll figure out which way to buy it. Was just hoping to DL it and have it, doesnโ€™t look like I can do that.

                  Re: Is MLB 20 worth it?

                  The two sports games I play THE MOST - and it's not even close:

                  NBA 2K11 (360) and MLBTS 20.

                  This game is a phenomenal baseball experience. The variety is outstanding. Nothing seems canned or similar in any two games played. I've had moments where I couldn't get a hit with a great player, and then had a reserve do something amazing. I don't even play any of the previous titles of The Show because this one has sucked me in. I play current season games, and then from the many outstanding historical rosters - endless gameplay. Eye popping graphics. Just solid. So yeah, get this game...you won't regret a nickel of it.

                    I'll be the different one I guess.

                    If you don't have MLB The Show 19, then get 20. Even if you have 18, get 20.

                    If you already have MLB The Show 19, then my opinion is there is absolutely no need for 20. Unless you want new uniforms, stick with 19 - especially as a franchise player.

                      schedules and 26 man roster, 3 batter minimum, were the biggest reason for me to carry-over from 19 to 20

                        Too bad I didn't bought it when it was on sale for 50% off. I don't wanna pay full price on ps store.

                          As much as we complain about the nuances of the game, it's definitely one of the best video games I've ever played.

                            Just do not advance to spring training on 19.

                            Carry over the save in the month of December or January and then after arbitration advance to Spring training to get the 2020 schedule.

                              Good to know, thanks A&S! How does the custom roster I was using in 19 translate over to 20 when I port the save?
