MLB The Show 24 is the ace of the sports sim industry. Building upon last year’s impeccable Storylines mode and adding small improvements to existing game modes, San Diego Studio have built a complete experience that makes it hard to find anything negative to say.
MLB The Show 24 is a wonderfully curated sports sim that has made some great improvements to the defensive game. The Storylines are great fun, and Road to the Show is another great way to experience the ball game.

It's the best baseball experience to date and far surpasses its predecessors, making it a must-buy for enthusiasts of this sport and can be considered a great alternative for players who want to venture into the genre, since it is about a title that can be enjoyed alone or together with other friends thanks to its varied game modes and an extremely graphic and simple interface that allows quick access and a brief explanation of the mode in which it will be played.
MLB The Show 24 does not do anything innovative but what it does do is great. Baseball fans will be able to live out their dreams, both as a player and making their favourite team a dynasty. The Storylines mode is a great history lesson focusing on players that would not be showcased otherwise, while new players will find themselves in familiar game modes from other sports games to orient themselves with. While there is nothing particularly new with the game, it is a fun and informative package that is accessible to all, even those without a good knowledge of baseball who want to learn about its early beginnings or its more recent stars. Those who aren’t interested in history have enough other ways to play the game and still get entertainment out of it.
With just enough added to keep things fresh, MLB The Show 24 is a fine entry to the yearly sports franchise.
The continued absence of an online Franchise mode and the stale nature of Road to the Show are disappointing aspects of this release, but MLB The Show 24 still maintains the series' commendable output with fantastic gameplay and another collection of fascinating stories exploring The Negro Leagues and its players. A journey through the exalted career of Derek Jeter might not be quite as gripping, but it builds on Storyline's established framework and lays down an exciting blueprint for the mode's future. The addition of women in Road to the Show is another positive step, further reinforcing the overarching theme that baseball is for everyone, while the ability to customize how you play Franchise mode makes it a much more palatable proposition for those embarking on a 162-game season. MLB The Show 24 might not swing for the fences, but it's still a great way to spend the looming summer months.
MLB The Show 24 is a very familiar experience, but with the sensational Storylines mode, improvements to the animations and the refinement of some modes, it manages to become a better game than the previous ones from which it's based.
Game is great, as it is every ****’t listen to the negative reviews, they are all just sad people with nothing better to do with their lives.

For the next MLB could you pls let Created player or any player in general use and change quirks it would make the game 10x better if everybody is able to interact with quirks. Or pls just add it to this game. Hope you read this.

Unlike Madden and NBA2K which seem to persistently favorize visually realistic games over actual sport realism and became pretty much unplayable , The Show is the perfect example of "Sacrifice graphics for good gameplay".
The biggest con AND the biggest pro is that it's actually about 99% the same game that The Show 23.
First reaction, after exploring the different modes, was obviously "well it's just the same game zzzz" but after two dozen of hours played, my reaction was actually "Thank God it's the same game".
They could've at least introduce one new mode or change one but I guess you dont modify something that's working.

Needs game play tuning in the worst way. Hiding cards behind a pay wall is not what the Diamond Dynasty has been about. The game does do somethings well like fielding is easy, the idea of hitting is good, when the servers are working online play is pretty good. The constant foul balls on awful swings is a problem, they have a hard time on tuning pitch movement so they shrink your PCI on sliders instead of making sliders move like real life, and lastly the input consistency needs to be addressed. All stuff can be fixed but if its not future games will suffer as well as the fan base will ask other companies to make baseball games. They better get on top of fixing it before it turns into 2K or Madden.

In a world of reskinned sports games, this game is no different. I only give it a 4 and not a 0 as I enjoy some aspects and Xbox is nice enough to let me play without spending a dime. Not only is it a reskin, but a downgraded one at that. It feels empty compared to 23. Less customization, less detail, less fun songs to have for homers and walk-ons. The cutscenes look like something out of an early 2000s demo tape for a sports safety video. Do not play this if you don't have to. Play Super Mega Baseball instead.
