MLB The Show 17: Is It a Buy?

[elfdutch]

For me a definate MUST MUST buy!!

The new ball physics and, tons and animations and the amazing graphical upgrade makes this feel like a whole new game.

If that does not convince you, look at it this way : go a night on the town, you will spend way more money and the next morning it's all gone (ok besides great memories and a hangover).
Paying around 50 bucks for a game that i will be playing for months sounds like a great deal to me.

I'm extremely happy with the "Buy" especially at a price of $26.95 after Amazon Prime & Gift Card.

As far as trades go, you can't list that as a Con. The game doesn't know star/franchise players like we do in real life, all it knows are ratings.

Even with bugs and other issues, this is a hands down must buy. I also trust the team at Sony San Diego will address the issues some are seeing and as it is fine tuned this already great game will get even better.

Best sports game in years. I also respectfully disagree about the lack of improvements. I believe that how profound the changes are contribute to my statement of it being the best sports title in years.

After a patch or two and rosters, this game is going to be really quite amazing.

Exactly how I feel.

I said I wasn't going to buy this year because of Harold Reynolds, but seeing people play it online I realized he isn't as annoying in The Show as he is in real life.

Plus, these ball physics are tremendous. So many more possibilities of hits and plays now that it really opens up the game.

I stopped playing 16 by May. I don't see that happening with 17. The ball physics make THAT much of a difference for me.

Definitely a must buy, one of the best sports games in a good while and I'm not even really a baseball fan to be honest.

When one of the pro's are "the intro video is really well done this year" makes me think there wasn't a lot of improvements from 16. Therefore, no buy for me.

ON the Fence!!!! Whoever is on the fence needs to get off and drive your car over the fence.

Best Game ever.

Yes I'm a baseball Junkie and if you love baseball this is a MUST HAVE no doubt about it.

Baseball Heaven this is.
