Review
Last year’s gameplay was terrific, and it is once again for MLB The Show 20.
Game presentation is excellent, and stepping up to the plate feels more realistic than any sports game around at the moment.
The new PCI is good and less obtrusive, while the controls remain easy to grasp with plenty of options if you want to change them up.
The new "perfect-perfect" system requires you to be precise with your timing, and there are trophies to reward you for getting your perfect swing together.
