MLB The Show 22 Review
We've begun our own MLB The Show 22 review after gaining early access to the game. So far, we don't have very many complaints.
The gameplay is a shining part of the game so far and we've only just scratched the surface. As we continue to play we get to experience more of the hitting and pitching changes.
There's still so much more to come as we work through MLB The Show 22 and the official launch. Road to the Show is also a big stand-out this year.
