With MLB The Show 17 hitting stores earlier this week, some OS'ers are inevitably still on the fence about whether this year's game is a buy or not. We gathered three different opinions from OS Staff Writers about whether you should buy the game or not.

Be sure to leave your own thoughts in the comments!

It is a pass for me. Not enough improved. 16 was a great game (as was 15). There is just not enough reason for me to go to 17. Heck, as long as I can play 15 and swap saves between my Vita and my PS4, I may never upgrade!

No.. its not a buy.

For me personally the ball physics alone are worth the purchase. Watching the flight of the ball is just tremendous. IT looks great.

If I was an online only player, it has not been a very smooth roll out for those folks and in that case it would be a "Wait and see, possible no buy" decision. But as an offline only player. I am enjoying MLB 17 more than any other MLB The Show release (I've bought the game every year since MLB 12). So for me, no regrets. MLB 17 is a great game, it's a great buy.

It's the best computer baseball game the world has ever seen, that is until MLB 18 is released.

Definitely, a buy!

I'm glad I have OOTP to accompany this game.

A buy!

I respectfully disagree with the notion that not enough is improved. As great as The Show has been for years, there are plenty of improvements. The first time the ball comes off the bat you can tell its a different game.

I'm even loving the minor modes. Batting practice is really fun.
