This if the first baseball game I've played in give or take 15 years. So, I'm feeling it. It's much more advanced since the last time I played a baseball game. I've been Team XBOX since 2002 and it seems like Sony has had the MLB license on lock for almost since then, so I never got the chance to play MLB The Show.

Because of my relative unfamiliarity with this game, I can't tell you if it's "good" as compared to previous generations. But I do love how much customization is available to you. Specifically with respect to batting, fielding and pitching control mechanics. You can play the way you want to. That wasn't available the last time I played a baseball game.

Finally, the cross platform play is a game changer. I look forward to more game companies doing it.

Bottom line is, I enjoy the game a lot. Can't wait to cop in April.
