MLB The Show 17: Is It a Buy?

Re: MLB The Show 17: Is It a Buy?

Not convinced I could really recommend a friend buy the game until the servers are fixed, as otherwise I don't think we'd stay friends for very long.

If everything was working smoothly I'd say it is an absolute buy if you are an online player, and just about a buy if you're an offline/franchise kind of person. The gameplay has improved so much that you can almost overlook the lack of improvement to Franchise, but that would be very much down to the individual playing.

ball physics, mic drop its a buy.

For me personally the ball physics alone are worth the purchase. Watching the flight of the ball is just tremendous. IT looks great.

Exactly this. If you're an offline-only player, it's a must buy.

If you are a baseball fab there is no excuse not to own this game. With a pro and 4k setup and upcoming OSFM rosters its gaming heaven

In addition to the new physics, I really love the presentation this year. The new MLB Network stuff + commentary upgrades are pretty big.

In manage mode unless they fix the problem with balls hit down the foul lines curving foul and infield defense being overpowered for the first time in the series going back to the ps2 I have to say no- not a buy. The only reason to buy is to ensure the series continues but that is a flimsy reason.

In 8 games played 5 games my team had 4 or fewer hits including a no hitter and a 1 hitter.

Other modes I can't speak for.

if you are a baseball gamer you have to buy it...some of those "cons" seem nit picky...i can definitely see those trades happening, cmon guys.

Re: MLB The Show 17: Is It a Buy?

As a franchise only guy I would definitely recommend people wait before buying. With the playoff pitching stamina still not being fixed, horrible frame rate at times, immense Maggie's and other graphical glitches, and other issues in franchise that have not been fixed, it's hard for me to tell people to go out and buy the game right now.

[JKSportsGamer1984]

Definitely a buy. If you're a sports gamer, you owe it to yourself to own this game just based off the amount of options & depth alone. Its probably the best all around sports game to date (minus some annoying bugs like lighting glitches, etc..) & I'm not even a huge baseball fan. However with that said, I will not be purchasing another MLB the show until they add Player Physics. They got the ball physics in so now it's time for real time player physics. That's the final frontier for them. Get er done SCEA!

In the NBA, the best center in the league recently got traded for basically dinner at Pizza Hut.

We no longer have any right to call any trade whatsoever "unrealistic" or "not sim."

The game is currently very broken, why are so many people recommending it?
