Baseball season is officially underway in the major leagues and for MLB The Show 19 gamers. As opening day recently got going, the baseball video game is beginning to roll out special events, challenges, and player cards. We got our first MLB The Show 19 Headliners Packs in the game with Diamond cards for All-Star players Mark Prior and Joe Torre. MLB The Show 19 Headliners: All-Star Flashback Mark Prior Mark Prior’s star burned out way too early. The hard-throwing right-hander made a huge impact in his five-year career, especially in 2003. Prior owned the National League for a glimmering moment and had the look of a player that would be around for 10 years or more. Unfortunately, arm problems cut Prior’s career short.

Ahh, Spring is in the air, and you know what that means; baseball season. More importantly, that means that the latest installment of Sony’s baseball gaming franchise, MLB The Show 19, is out and ready to be played by millions of baseball fans. For a sports video game nut like myself, I have lost the enjoyment in playing baseball video games in recent years. I yearn for the days of MVP baseball where I could create my own stadiums, but this year MLB The Show has me hooked for one reason, Road to the Show. Road to the Show is the popular career mode where you create your own playable ball player and try to rise to the Major League’s and become a star. Right from the start, you can notice a difference. While creating your player you are in your bedroom. When you pick your nationality, you see your country’s flag hanging above your bed. When you pick y...

The steal in baseball is one of the most thrilling actions. It usually comes out all of a sudden and catches someone off guard, and always issues in someone getting upset on one of the sides of the ball. Here’s how to steal in MLB the Show 19. We'll delve a little more into RTTS's version of the steal than all of the other game modes due to its distinct peculiarity, assuming you are not controlling an individual character in the game. Base Running in MLB The Show 19 can be a bit convoluted due to loads of buttons to press and many things that are going on, whether you are playing RTTS, the new Moments, Diamond Dynasty, or what else modes. Getting a steal or any other baserunning move in a jam can be extremely dispiriting since it can result in unnecessary outs that are just killer when you're striking against pitching that's hard to score off of, especially online.  Stealing Normally in MLB The Show 19 If you're in full control of all the players f...

Are you the kind of baseball fan that only wants to play the most exciting parts of the game? MLB The Show 19’s March to October mode might be for you. I will admit that I don’t watch enough of my hometown Toronto Blue Jays in action over the past few years. I don’t have enough free time in my busy schedule to catch all 162 games of their season, but do make an effort to catch a game here and there. If that’s the kind of shotgun-like approach to your baseball fandom, then MLB The Show 19 has the gameplay mode for you. As well briefed on the PlayStation Blog, the new “March to October” game mode will enable players to hop in on a team’s most pivotal moments in games, requiring players to come in the clutch and help drive the team’s momentum as they push towards the postseason. These snippets of baseball “encounters,” for better or worse, will have an impact on the pacing of the season. Imagine your favourite baseball team is in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded in a ...
