MLB '18 without question.

It was easily the best on the field playing baseball game that I have ever played. The new ball physics, the fact that CPU outfielders at times would take bad routes to the ball or mis-play it off the wall were very welcomed additions. Add those, amongst other improvements, to what was already a stellar gameplay foundation and MLB '18 was easily the best playing game for me.

Also, while franchise mode didn't receive a lot of improvements, the one addition it received that I really enjoyed was how the CPU now handles roster building. They do a better job of balancing their roster given the 90 player limitation.

The show 16 was my favorite in the series.

Allstar + hitting / HOF pitching

Had a great balance, it was never too easy. Saw some in game injuries, saw good balance of fielding and throwing errors

Re: Post your favorite MLB The Show game in the last 10 years and why?

I can't name a favorite, but MLB 10 had the biggest impact on me. At the time, I had gone 5 years or so without playing a really good baseball game. I came from the Triple Play/MVP crowd and everybody knows what happened with that in 2005. I had an Xbox 360 from Christmas 2005 to early 2010 so I was stuck playing those 2K games. Honestly, MLB 2K5-2K7 were pretty good, but the wheels fell off after 2K8. In 2010, I decided enough was enough and it was time to bite the bullet and migrate over to PS3 and The Show. I've never looked back. I was blown away by RTTS, which I logged thousands of hours into. I don't remember much about the Franchise mode, but I'm sure it surpassed 2K's offering. I've enjoyed other games in "The Show" series just as much as 10, if not more, but it's what sticks out right now because of what it meant to me at the time. It was like waking up after being asleep for 5 years. I don't even wanna think about where we'd be if it wasn't for this series.

Whatever year it was that they added carry over saves. As a RTTS player that was a godsend.

Re: Post your favorite MLB The Show game in the last 10 years and why?

For me it was 09. After being stuck on the Xbox 360 with 2k baseball, I finally bought a PS3 specifically for MLB The Show 09. I was blown away at what a real baseball game played like after all the problems 2k had. I played every pitch of 3 and a half seasons right up till MLBTS 10 dropped. From then on this game has been pre ordered every year till this year, waiting on franchise news.

While 09 wasn't the best of the series, for me it was the one that got me hooked on MLBTS
