Still hands down, the best sports game this year!

I've played this game since release pretty much daily. It's got Madden beat by a mile, it tops NHL and even though NBA 2K is improved from last year, they don't hold a candle next to The Show... From modes, to extras, to diamond dynasty...

FIFA is solid too, but again, it just cannot beat the show. I can't wait for next year, to see what they do to improve on this... I've gotten every pennies worth for the 100 bucks I laid out for this game. And then some.

Love your enthusiasm, but let’s not get crazy. The Shows franchise mode is absolutely terrible and doesn’t hold a candle to NBA 2K My League mode.

Re: Still hands down, the best sports game this year!

I just wish the average Joe could appreciate this game as much in terms of sales versus Madden, NBA2K and FIFA. The kind of upgrades Sony could afford to put in if a baseball game was the top selling sports game of the year, would blow us all away. That's whats so frustrating with the Show, knowing how great it is yet how much room for growth there could be is equally mind blowing

Re: Still hands down, the best sports game this year!

I remember when I shared that same enthusiasm for this series. Then I felt like I played the same game/franchise mode for 3 years straight and it slowly went away.

NHL is better too, Created and moved 8 teams (like florida,arizona etc) all in one franchise, its been a blast!
Cant do that in MLB thanks to the DD stuff (wanting you to use that created team for DD/moments only)

I can't speak for how it compares to the other sports games as I don't play them, but I agree with the overall sentiment that MLB '19 is damn good game.

I am currently starting my 3rd season having played every game and the game continues to provide enjoyment and feel fresh after all this time.

Hopefully this is the year that I win the World Series.

I know this is your opinion but you couldnt be more wrong. The shows career mode is NOTHING compared to 2k, the AI is horrific in the mode. Franchise mode is INCREDIBLY barebones compared to 2k, NHL and even Madden. Nothing about the mode is customizable. You pick a team, make trades, sign people, sim or play games. 2k, you can relcoate teams complete alter the league customize things add teams etc NHL same thing, Madden you can relocate teams, rebuild and build new stadiums. DD completely ruined MLB the Show. Its the one sports game who had little to no changes the past 3 years. No little things, like RTTS perks and real life contracts dont count.

That's not how that works...
