MLB The Show 20 Developer Livestream: When is it, what is it, Franchise Mode, RTTS, custom franchises

Spring Training has begun, MLB The Show 20 comes out in just about a month, and we couldn't be more excited for baseball.

The first Spring Training game is just over a week away, as the Texas Rangers will face the Kansas City Royals on February 21.

With the baseball season being so close,
that obviously also means it is practically time for the latest MLB The Show.

Releasing on March 17, MLB The Show 20 is shaping up to be excellent. Following on from the success of MLB The Show 19, the early glimpses of this year’s game fill us with excitement.

It’s fitting, considering it is the 15th Anniversary of SIE San Deigo’s baseball sim, so they are going all out to make it the best baseball game we have ever seen.
