MLB 15 The Show Review (PS3)

09:58 AM - April 8, 2015 by RaychelSnr

For the past few years, the motto for MLB The Show has been "baseball is better." This year, the Sony team has certainly made baseball gaming even better than it was last year; not just for new-gen users, but for PS3 users as well. With all the focus being on the PS4 edition, the PS3 has been largely overlooked. However, that does not mean it has been ignored by SCEA.

Good review and I agree with most of your points. I think it would have been very important to mention in the graphics portion though that stadiums are nearly untouched. For it to be truly be a "15" version of the game, the stadiums (especially Ballpark village at Busch, and Progressive Field's renovation) should be included!

They updated the Rogers Centre too, looks amazing.

Major bug with dropped SECOND strikes, resulting from a check swing that bounces in the dirt. In two games out of three, my batter has been thrown out at first attempting to run out a ball in the dirt. With a 1-1 count. Hopefully the PS3 gets some attention as far as an update goes. Freezing and hang ups are one thing, major oversights such as this are another.

Thanks for reminding me! I saw the backstop area during a demo game after putting the controller down for a while and was pleasantly surprised by the makeover it had received!

They fixed the Jays uniform color too, which is a nice surprise on PS3. That complaint can officially be put to bed!

Yes, they did some little things, but to leave out a WHOLE group of buildings that is a crucial part of the way Busch looks now?

This is close to leaving old Yankee Stadium or Pro Player Stadium in, when a new ballpark was due for NYY and FLA. Or to call the Miami Marlins still the Florida Marlins with their old unis.

The only other stadium to get that much of a stiff was Wrigley. I might have chalked it up to legal issues but Ballpark Village is in PS4.

so wait. if there was no ps4 version this year would the ps3 installment really get a 7.0?
i am not so sure.
seems like the review is scaling it in comparison to the one on the 4.

in any event there best be a patch, it'd be f'ed up if sony neglected it. was there not a ps3 patch last year?

# 9 Sub_ZERO2777 @ 04/08/15 07:03 PM

I'm thinking of picking this game up ..one reason is the price and that I never played a baseball game before but I've always be drawn to Playing one ,my only question is the learning curve ,will it be hard for someone new to baseball video games to start playing . I'm on PS3

Agree. I'd recommend against 13. My least favorite of the series.

# 11 GamerDad48 @ 04/10/15 11:20 AM

I am still undecided between MLB 14 or MLB 15 for PS3. I haven't played a baseball game in quite some time since the MVP years. Which would be the better choice?

# 12 baconbits11 @ 04/10/15 11:33 AM

15 is worth the extra improvements and it's only $40. If you are a real tightwad then you could pick up 14 which has most of the same features for less than $20 used. 14 will probably drop rapidly in price over the next month or two.

# 13 budsticky @ 04/11/15 03:23 AM

Thinking of buying as well..but getting scared off by the reports of lagging in the middle of in-game action and bugs where guys are having to run out 1-1 pitches in the dirt. Hell..I'm on last gen..I can probably just wait until there's a patch for these things. I'll bite at some point, but think I'll sit out for a few more weeks.

# 14 pierpaolo50 @ 04/13/15 04:07 PM

I don't know about you, but I always wore an athletic cup when playing baseball, even as a center fielder.

I think that's what the development team was designing in that area...

Is that on the white guys too or just the blacks?

# 17 catch237 @ 04/14/15 04:48 PM

I have a couple of questions that hopefully you guys can help with.

1. Is there a way to edit batting glove and cleat styles like you could in the previous versions? I can edit the colors, but it seems like everyone is stuck with what the game generates as far as the style is concerned.

2. How do I create another profile? I want to do a 30 team franchise, but want only to control 1 team and be able to veto trades. I know that in previous versions you could create multiple profiles and have one control the other 29 teams and not have to worry about all of the "other duties".

Any help would be appreciated!

# 18 Prior @ 04/15/15 07:03 AM

Everyone seems to quibble over little intricacies yet the left handed pitching meter cant be adjusted to face the other direction. It's absolutely ridiculous that a detail like this, which wouldn't take long to implement, still hasn't been put into place.

And please quit with the nonsense of taking away time from other features. Having the option to reverse the pitching meter couldn't possibly take much time.

I have been wondering the same thing re: changing cleat and batting glove styles. Not sure if its a bug or if they simply got lazy w ps3 having all the concentration be on the ps4 edition. Its really too bad, this years game is a huge disappointment. The ps4 version looks amazing but ps3 really got neglected. Its no different from 14 except the dynamic mode(which is a waste if youve played before) and directional hitting. I guess I'll be buying a ps4 next april so I can play a GOOD game.

# 20 JackinaPrius @ 04/28/15 12:21 PM

This game sucks... Well, if youve never played it before youre gonna love it... But if youre someone who has been playing it for years, youre gonna be pissed. ZERO major improvements or corrections from past versions... Even the patch that was done recently didnt correct the things it claimed to. i.e. McCutcheon's hair... TOTAL disappointment. They put no effort into the PS3 version.
