Just looking for some thoughts from those that have played the game. I've played The Show every year from 09-18. I barely played 18 and didnt get 19 as I found my interest in baseball wasnt the same anymore and the games all felt basically the same. But quarantine has me wondering if I should try to get back into this years game. So I'm just curious what the thoughts of long-time players are. Is 20 worth getting? Or will it be a very similar experience to what I remember from 17/18. Thanks in advance.

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
Depends on what modes you play. Franchise mode FOR the most part is unchanged. there is a March to October mode that is cool for a quick season mode that can then lead into franchise. and obviously RTTS is still around for that career mode. and DD the Card Collecting mode.Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto Raptors
Las Vegas Raiders

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
if you are into Franchise mode don't waste your money and keep with 19 or 18 I didn't buy but I could try and doesn't deserve an update if you on online modes I guess is the only way to goComment

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
Really the only difference you would notice is some minor defensive upgrades and updated rosters. If your 50/50 I would just wait to see if they make any big improvements for next years version on PS5.

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
If you are DD online player I might hold off a bit. It's in a very fluid state right now with online play and if you are a really competitive player you will be very frustrated with it.
That being said if you are a baseball fan that can tolerate some warts it does play a very good game of baseball most of the time.Comment

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
I quit buying this game every yr because of the lack of progress in Franchise mode, as its all I play, so I hadn't bought it in 2 yrs, so I cant compare it to last yrs game, all I can say is Franchise mode isn't really any deeper, than it has been for the past several yrs.
Sure some things have been improved upon, but Spring Training is still bare bones, with only 1 ballpark in each Spring Training League. But how the CPU manages their spring games is still the same crap. So if your looking for a brand new revamped and deeper Franchise mode, then you may want to save your money.
However, the gameplay is great IMO, yeah you got to do a little slider adjusting, as HR's are a little high, for you and the CPU. But the game graphics is amazing. Im enjoying the game, and Im glad I decided to get it this yr. With real life baseball being stopped due to the Chinese virus, I decided to go with MLBTS instead of OOTP, as I tend to be OCD about stats, and following everything IRL, including lower levels of MILB ball, and I get that with OOTP, with how deep it is.
So in a way, the Wuhan virus has made video games fun again, as Im just playing, and not being OCD about having to call this player up or injure that player, because he is injured IRL. I still want stats being realistic, but Franchise mode is fun again, just playing, like I use to do, rather than thinking I need to make every trade and every move that happens IRL in my Franchise for that 1st season as I follow along with real life. I had even gotten so bad, that I would sim each game until I made sure the winner IRL won in my Franchise mode. I know that sounds ridiculous and quite frankly it was, looking back now. I wish it wouldn't have had to take sports being put on hold, due to whats going on in the world, to make me actually enjoy playing like I did as a kid, but when I was a kid, video games didn't have franchise modes either, or I probably would have driven myself nuts yrs ago, with my franchise needing to more accurately reflect real life, LOL.
Anyway Im loving MLBTS20, but I cant tell you its better or worse than last yr or even the yr before, since I didn't buy those games, but its a heck of a lot better than 17 was. Typically MLBTS always tends to get a little better each yr, its just usually big jumps most of the time. I did notice at the end of games, you no longer hear the PA announcer naming the streets outside the ballpark to follow, which I always thought was neat, but clearly that's no big deal, it was just neat seeing the detail of naming the streets IRL where the exits were located.Everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted- Luke14-11

Re: Is 20 worth getting?
I’m in the exact same boat with the FIFA series. It’s a nice place to be, frankly. As a casual you can pretty much ignore all the negativity and rest assured you’re getting the best version yet. I can barely tell the difference between FIFA 14, 16 & 19, yet if you follow the online narrative there’s been “massive” changes and FIFA 20 is definitely, without a doubt, the worst version yet. It’s hilarious to watch.
Pretty much same thing here. Yes, it’s going to be mostly the same. Yes, there are lots of little improvements. Yes, there will be things that bugged you before that are still there. But in the end it’s the best version of the game to date. Take it or leave it kind of thing imo.Just one man’s opinion.
I don’t actually care about any of this.Comment
