I googled it and didn't see anything about a video game with this name.

It's very very hard to say that the show is better than this Japanese game. I played it for a whole year and literally it's exact same controls. Same hitting same picture in the same morning. Same fielding the only better thing is road to the show for this. You start out in high school and you progress from high school into the pros. It is just an amazing amazing game all around

Super Mega 4 for fun pick-up-and-play. OOTP for franchise. MLBtS is the all-rounder.
If I buy early (I might not buy at all) it will be because of the thrill of packs being new and filling out that binder opening week. Working towards completing the LS. It is for a lot of people an exhilarating time. As many bones as I have to pick with SDS, not gonna lie about this one.

@jake93436 Unfortunately for me, I don't read Japanese and there isn't a translation available for their website. Even if there were, all the menus for the game are in Japanese too (from what I could determine). Also, it doesn't appear there has been an update for five years.
@SuntLacrimae50 SM 4 is too cartoonish for me. I've seen it on Gamepass and I've passed. OOTP looks promising. It too is a bit too cartoonish for me, but is an analysts dream. The animation reminds me of old console (very old) baseball but with better resolution. I will delve deeper into this on Steam. Thank you.

This is the only game I buy and play. $160 (Digital Deluxe + PSN Subscription) for 1387 hours of play comes out to about 11 cents an hour. Compare that a movie ticket, a Six Flags pass, a Caribbean cruise, or going to a real MLB game (oh my!) and it's the bargain of a lifetime.
Also...

@SaveFarris It’ll go up slightly. PSN got bumped up by $20 for the essential tier. Going of $160 that’s what I think you have since the digital deluxe is $100.

Don't even get me started on the NHL series...last week(might have been the week before), they released three patches/tuners in five days...completely broke the game...EASHL is flat out unplayable now.
IMHO it's due to having zero competition. To your point, The Show was at some of its best with 2K around, same as NHL. Once the competition disappeared mediocrity took over for the most part
I was a hardcore player of franchise mode in NHL for a while. But if you play that game a lot, which I had done every year since 2006 until this past year, you’ll see how insanely easy it is to score—even if you play on Superstar and have all the sliders set so that they’re fair. Franchise mode is still absolutely no fun and the series continues to just be insanely unrealistic. Just look at this link. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/ypl2kR_5nBo I absolutely destroyed the CPU in all ten games I played in Franchise mode in 24, but then I quit because I had absolutely no motivation to play the game again. In my opinion, EA is just all out for the money and there have for years just been way too many aspects of that series that have been neglected. I don’t necessarily want to think that, but I don’t think have a choice given what I’ve read and what I’ve been seeing in the series for years now. This year I might just buy and keep The Show 24 and the upcoming NCAA Football game. Then I can alternate between playing the two well into next year if I want and avoid getting burned out. I’m definitely not planning on buying NHL 25.
