Wizard of Radical writes: "The real place where The Show turns into a full-fledged RPG is in the “Road to the Show” mode. One of the franchises’ hallmark modes, “Road to the Show” allows players to create an up and coming baseball player and guide their career from humble, amateur showcases all the way up to the big leagues. It’s an epic quest in and of itself, one that can easily be understood as a simple – if not derivative – RPG storyline."
FiveThirtyEight writes: "Sony’s critically beloved “MLB: The Show” series makes the leap to the PlayStation 4 Tuesday, a new platform for a franchise that has been, by any standard, the undisputed champion of console baseball gaming for nearly a decade. Granted, that distinction comes by default this year, after 2K Sports announced the discontinuation of its MLB 2K series.1 But if “The Show” hasn’t had meaningful competition to spur it on the past few years, that’s partly because the franchise essentially chased 2K2 completely out of the baseball business. In a high-stakes head-to-head matchup, “The Show” dominated its competition."
Gamergaters rejoice, journalism doesn't get much more objective than FiveThirtyEight's number journalism.
