MLB 14: The Show - PS4 Review | Chalgyr's Game Room

As regular readers here know, I have an affinity for sports games. It dates way back to my old NES days with Super Tecmo Basketball and RBI Baseball and through the years persisted with the NBA 2K and Live games and oodles of Madden. Some sports I tend to play more frequently than others, with Major League Baseball being one of those I take a stab at every couple of years or so. I believe MLB 12 The Show was the last in the series I have played. Sports titles are ones that hook me for a handful of reasons. The very fact that sports themselves have a tendency be very cyclical, with every year bringing teams a renewed sense of hope that the tweaks they made to their rosters might be what leads them to a championship runs parallel to how sports video games tend to work as well. Year to year you seldom see wholesale changes, but improvements in the presentation with some new gameplay wrinkles and updated rosters are enough for most (but not all) sports fans.
