Re: Why Buy The Show 21

I was personally sold the minute they announced the Jackie Robinson edition because I want it in my collection.

So regardless of information that is yet to be released, I'll be buying a copy of MLB '21.

I'm sold basically every year bc even the little things they do to improve the game makes it worth it to me. Are there still things I'd like to see in the game? Of course, there's always something that can be improved upon. But man, they just put a damn good game of baseball on the field every year. I think when people get their hands on the game this year, they'll be impressed

Re: Why Buy The Show 21

19 and 20 are the best sports games I have ever played. The best reflections of the sport they are emulating. (all due respect to NBA2k, NHL, and FIFA.. I don't partake in those festivities)

I fully expect 21 will be more of the same, on the gameplay side.

Not expecting it to get much play, but I have no problem making my yearly contribution to SDS after a brilliant run on PS4.

Respectfully, I don't think there is any way to win with injuries. Too many, too few, there is never a happy medium. I think the best thing any game can do is make them editable.

I've never trusted progression. I just build a new roster after the end of the season. not fun, but I'd rather do that than micromanage a system that doesn't really work.

Re: Why Buy The Show 21

I actually have a PS5 and I’m still on the fence. I only play franchise so I don’t anticipate using the stadium builder. 20 plays so beautifully smooth on the PS5 I have a hard time imagining that 21 will be a significant upgrade in terms of visuals on the PS5.

I keep going back and forth between not buying 21 or pre-ordering the special edition to get it early. It all comes down to franchise changes and definitely if they are able to confirm if Y2Y saves are back.

I’m just so excited to start a new franchise that the stream on April 1st and the fielding stream will probably confirm whether I preorder or wait.

Clinging!!!!!

I really do not know.

I am clinging onto the hope it is in for at least the PS4 as I have no plans on going next gen till at least Christmas 2021

If roster import is in for 21, then I would be more than willing to purchase the game as I am sure gameplay will awesome as usual (slight concerns with the game modes but not nearly as much concern as I had initially).

Having the import feature at least allows us to fully enjoy the gameplay updates with dozens of classic rosters and Bacons Fictional!!!

So let us hope!!!!

Got it! Yep I hope it's in 21 as well... I think this would definitely help out FM team so they dont have to start from scratch.
