The end of an era for Road to the Show fans.

This year was more of the same, which was still pretty good, but your opinion on whether this one was better than 19 may depend on whether you liked the new Showdown mode within Diamond Dynasty. This was also the pinnacle of pre-pinpoint pitching gameplay.

My first platinum trophy. Great content and gameplay balance

The last of the games that allowed you to move your franchise to the next year. I haven't bought another MLB since.

Playing a videogame with my father had been a dream for me but it video games were not his thing. When I finally found out about the show series, I found a way we could bond with video games. The game is a lot of fun with anyone, friends, family, even just by yourself. 4/5


One of the more fun ones out there

basically the same as 18 but with refined gameplay

9/10

Excellent baseball game. I've stuck to The Show 20 because it's the last game to offer Road to the Show mode with the ability to have essentially any pitch as your "main" pitch, including knuckleball, which gives you a ton of variety in doing pitcher career modes. The entire Road to the Show mode is hands down the best career mode in sports games, encouraging making different positions and types of players to simulate their growth and MLB career. The game feels amazing, with tons of settings to customize the feel, camera angles, controls, etc. The Show lets you make your own baseball game the way you want it to feel, and has tons of modes to play and practice. Local multiplayer is great, and the number of teams and players available mean you can have endless matchups. Atmosphere is incredible, stadiums look great, game looks and plays like a real MLB game. One of the only sports games you can legit just sit and watch and be entertained. Must have for playstation owners.

Pretty satisfying experience. All around an okay game. Just wish one game didn't take, like, 8 hours or some shit.

A marginal improvement on the 2019 version is still an excellent game.
