No Joy in Mudville for Xbox Owners

[DustinT]

With SCEA releasing MLB The Show 15 information -- and a bat-flipping cover athlete -- over the weekend, Xbox owners are finding themselves asking themselves the age old question once again.

What about us?

Re: No Joy in Mudville for Xbox Owners

If baseball was important to an individual they knew which direction they had to go in as a gamer. I don't have any sympathy for xbox one owners.

Let's not forget that Super Mega Baseball is a PS only. I am beginning to regret my XB1 purchase, With what seems like fewer sports games every year, to exclude an entire sport, is a big deal. Since I'm not much of a racing or fighting fan I guess that means my next sports game purchase will be next August. Sad !

I would agree ... I was an Xbox 360 owner and loved that system ... but over time came to miss having a baseball option and so for next gen console I made the switch to PS4 and have been happy ... MLB the Show is my favorite game and still playing it primarily this winter while Madden, FIFA and NHL sit on the shelf next to my PS4.

Yeah I feel bad for Xbox one owners,yet at the same time I don't. Apparently MLB baseball isn't a huge priority to Microsoft and to any of the baseball game publishers out there and or enough of a demand from owners of Xbox one for a MLB Baseball game! I was a Xbox over for along time before that I was a A long time Playstation owner! I went back to Sony simply because of the Show,and I'm very glad I did! MLB the Show is one of the best sports franchises out there,and considering I'm a die hard baseball fan MLB the Show is pure nirvana to me! Also the Playstation is the best console out there hands down! I've heard it's a more powerful system. I've read a lot of stuff out there that talks about that games on both systems ,that the ps4 versions of the game look better graphically and are just better in on the Ps4 in general! The bottom line is as consumers we have freedom of choice to pick the product we want that's what matters!

Yeah I really don't understand why MS haven't done anything. Haven't they been holding onto the High Heat license forever?

It makes SCEA's deal with MLB look like the same thing as EA's when that couldn't be further from the truth.

I was playing major league 2k7 on my 360 and was majorly disappointed so I traded it in for a PS3 and a copy of the show 07 and I haven't looked back

I had MLB2K since around 2K8, enjoyed those and went in depth with rosters and franchises, but it just pales in comparison to the Show. I have a 360 but I had to get a Vita to play MLBTS. Hoping to someday see it in PS4 graphics.

That said, there's a decent group of MLB Power Pros fans that were not satisfied with Bobblehead on Xbox, just wasn't as fun or had as many modes as the MLBPP series. We'd love to see Konami update the rosters, at least. Too fun of a game to not be re-explored.

I think Baseball is on every system it needs to be on right now. When Microsoft starts producing a console powerful enough to handle games like the show obviously they will be there.

You don't see me in a ford dealership complaining that my Focus doesn't drive like a 3 series.

[CujoMatty]

Companies aren't really interested in playing major catch up to the Show. 2k proved that just because your the only game on a console, doesn't mean it will sell. That's why Konami makes sense to me. I haven't played it but I've heard their Japanese baseball game is great and plays fairly realistic. Forget what it's called.

[boomhauertjs]

If they added full rosters and season stat tracking, RBI would at least be acceptable. To not have those at its $20 price point was ridiculous. Probably another year of playing modded MVP 05 on my PC.

No need to sound like you know nothing of the current gen systems. I'm as big of a Sony fanboy as anyone but have an XB1 for the exclusives and it is plenty powerful to handle a game like The Show. The Show doesn't even push the PS4 to its limits and won't for several years.

Microsoft probably hasn't done anything, because there's not really any motivation to do anything. I don't get the impression that baseball games are that big in terms of sellers, and outside of a community like this, it's certainly not going to be a system seller.

Plus, getting something anywhere near the quality of what Sony's baseball game has become would probably take a significant time, and financial investment, one that's not likely to produce results that make it a good business decision anytime soon, if ever.
