LOL I went back and took a trip down memory lane with MLB 11 and 12 on the PS3 and then 16,17,18 and 19 on PS5.



16 harkens back to the PS3 feel of the game....17 is where everything started going next gen on the PS4 but it had too many warts. But I loved the interface far more than “Phases”....eeeewwwwww. But gameplay really started going upwards on 18, then 19 and then.......



20 reigns supreme LOL!!!

Don't get me wrong.....21 plays a whale of a game....but I lost all my features I love too dearly (Y2Y and SOTS, Roster Importing) as well as design decisions I simply do not like. And it is simply not worth it, to leave all of the greatness of 20 behind.



Because when it comes down to it....I am all about my franchises which are years deep (and some getting started with incredible rosters like Bacon’s, 1993 and 1980’s Strat-O-Matic) and Classic 70’s, 80’s and 90’s baseball.....and we have all those decades covered incredibly well on 20. So different strokes for different folks.



And to the OP......we never left MLB 20!! Still in my book as the GOAT and will probably be the GOAT for a long long time.

After playing 21 on PS5, I can't go back to 20.

These PS3 titles had so many of the little things we all love. Those games were made for the hardcore baseball fan.

I don’t blame you OP. I want to like 21 a lot, but my biggest gripe is that EVERY Angels home game is at 1pm. It’s not that way in exhibition with live rosters, so wherever they pull the game times from, it’s completely wrong. Other teams have the same issue.

Yep! MLB 13 is my life, always have that when these new ones act up lol

This is why I never buy a sports game until the OSFM/Week 1/Opening Night roster is out. I only play franchise modes so I don’t need to start grinding on card games which means I don’t need the new game ASAP. Also in turn gives time for bugs to be sorted out.

If we’re talking about previous games we’d prefer over ‘21, I would choose MLB Slugfest 20-03 in a heartbeat! Man, think about that game with current rosters. Fernando Tatis Jr. literally catching fire after hitting a home run... Manny Machado punching the baserunners to tag them out... and those announcers!
