- MLB The Show 22 is still among the highest forms of video game baseball available … right along with the game that came before it. It still plays exquisitely, and it's still definitely worth your time if you've never really experienced the series before. For veterans, however, this could be the moment where the game just feels … sort of "there," and the only big difference you'll notice is that this year's cover guy probably should have been last year's cover guy.
Redmond Carolipio · May 30, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Ultimately, MLB The Show 22 delivers almost everything you could want in a baseball game. San Diego Studio has done a fantastic job giving us one of the most authentic experiences you could endure in a sports title, especially regarding current generation gaming.
Junior Onunkwo · Apr 21, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - This release feels devoid of any marque justification for purchase, aside from continued refinement on existing mechanics. It’s really hard to shake the feeling that this was supposed to be a grand slam and ended up being a dribbler off the end of the bat.
Blake Grundman · Apr 19, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Ultimately, MLB The Show 22 is a powerhouse like most entries in the series, but it falls victim to the sports-game pitfall of yearly editions: it just doesn't add enough new features. Most long-time fans may not mind that, though ff you're looking for an upgrade, this is just another season, albeit a good one.
Joseph Rowe · Apr 19, 2022 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - MLB The Show 22 is one of the best baseball games on the market, if not the only one players should consider. However, as the MLB The Show series has cracked the code for crafting a baseball game that looks authentic and plays fantastically, development studio Sony San Diego may have painted themselves into a corner.
Adrian Morales · Apr 19, 2022 Reviewed on PS5, Series X|S, SwitchRead full review - Despite these new changes there are old facets of MLB The Show that are still glaringly obvious that have not been changed, that effectively Sony San Diego slapped a new sticker on the box that says 22 this year. The two major hang ups are the lack of graphics being updated, and the lack of improvement on using a new engine for the game. Graphics are one of the most glaring changes that the game needs to make if it aims to have any sort of longevity going forward.
Rob Berg · Apr 18, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Regardless of its shortcomings, MLB The Show 22 is still an absolutely gorgeous game. Stadiums have been painstakingly recreated down to the last brick, coach and fan models look better than ever, and the players themselves have a lifelike presence that you just don’t find in other sports games. Special shoutout to the team that perfected player emotion – the effect is incredible.
Rhett Waselenchuk · Apr 17, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - By all accounts, MLB The Show 22 is still a great baseball game, but it definitely isn't going to blow you away if you already put a lot of time into The Show 21. The changes that have been included here in the latest entry feel more iterative than they have in quite some time, which leads to the final product feeling a bit disappointing. Still, in all of the ways that matter, MLB The Show 22 is another strong installment, even if it doesn't quite feel like it has taken a next-gen leap just yet.
Logan Moore · Apr 15, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - While the online and visual aspects falter at times, the good far outweighs the bad here, as MLB The Show 22 is one of the best sports games of its kind and the Switch version is an excellent way to play it portably and an acceptable way to play it on a television. Here’s hoping The Show is a perennial All-Star on Switch because I could get used to having an assortment of killer baseball games on Nintendo systems again.
Neal Ronaghan · Apr 14, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - MLB The Show 22 continues to offer a solid baseball game that is a lot of fun to play. San Diego Studio has the basics down, and while they iterate on them each year, they don’t break what’s working. When so much around the core gameplay has grown stagnant, though, and players are being pushed to spend so much ongoing money to have the best experience, it becomes a lot harder to recommend to all but the die-hards.
