Still great, easy reccomend for baseball diehards. The best addition this year is the perfect-perfect pitching. Stadium creator is good, butStill great, easy reccomend for baseball diehards. The best addition this year is the perfect-perfect pitching. Stadium creator is good, but therre are a lot of restrictions, and not many people are playing in them on online modes. Hitting is harder this year because of improved pitching command because of perfect perfect pitching, and also check swings require skill this year to not swing. However Ive seen more yellow timing base hits more than ever, pitch speed is like 10% slower than last year. Its great, more of the same, but great.

This is the most terrible sports simulation I have played to date.Road to the Show, the ONLY mode I like to play, is horrendous. You cannotThis is the most terrible sports simulation I have played to date.Road to the Show, the ONLY mode I like to play, is horrendous. You cannot progress your player well enough to have any fun if you're not paying extra in microtransactions.The lag is unbearable when pitching. You might as well pull your pitcher and put the ball on a tee.I was excited to see this game for free on Xbox Game Pass. I would rather pay for a good game. I have plenty more reasons to give you about why I loathe this game. But it, like my time and money for this franchise, isn't worth it.

As is the case with many annual sequels, MLB The Show 21 is an iteration and improvement over its predecessor. Having said that, if you bought The Show 20, I personally can’t see enough of a change to justify getting 21 in my opinion. There are improvements to the game modes that deserve praise, though I don’t know if it will keep me on the hook for a very long time. Having said that, both titles share some fantastic elements, such as the impressive depth of mechanical customisation, which by itself carries the game into high regard.

MLB The Show 21 is the baseball simulation par excellence, finally available on Xbox. Although the game doesn't deviate too much from past episodes, it is still a real masterpiece, suitable for baseball fans and newcomers alike.
