First Impressions of MLB The Show Mobile
-
Did pretty much the same as you and while there’s still a few other things I’ve yet to look at, you did a great summary.
Take it for what it is, a free mobile game that you can waste time on when you’re not on your console. I can’t see spending hundreds of hours a month on it, but I’m sure there’s some who will.

I’m sold! Gunna go download it right now and have so much fun!

Update on seasons. They seem to be a mix. I just played the A's where the game started in the 10th inning. I lost.
It now looks like it is structured this way
Regular Season - 6 total games and 3 wins needed to advance
Quarter Finals - 3 games and 2 wins needed to advance
Semi Finals - 3 games and 2 wins needed to advance
Championship - 3 games and 2 wins needed to winWinning it all gets you 2,500 stubs and 11,000 XP
There looks like there are also card rewards for each level except regular season. I could not tell who those cards were though -
Okay, I have now played the mobile game more in the past week than the actual game
-
O it's free, ok downloading now and ready to eat my words if it's fun
-
@dolenz_psn so in your opinion is it worth the download or no

I don't really know how to answer that. I have enjoyed it in my couple of hours playing.
It is not a mobile version of the console game.
Moments seem pretty straightforward. I did 5 or 6 moments to earn Jeromy Burnitz. So it was like a little program.
Head to head is interesting. Your not actually competing live against another player. There are three rounds. Each round a wheel spins at the beginning of a round and it is basically a list of challenges that determine what the challenge is for that round. Each round is scored and the person with the most points win.
Season is more of a tournament with a potential of 15 games across 4 rounds. Win the goal number of three inning games and you advance. There are also other little activities where you can send players to an autograph session and earn stubs.
Both head to head and seasons awards trophies which is the criteria to advance down the inning path. After 1 day I am like 60% complete.
But again be aware this is a typical free to play mobile game. There are extremely expensive packs. There are some timers in the modes. Everything costs stubs. Even when you earn enough pxp to level up a card it can still cost you stubs to gain that level. And if you don't like the pxp bonus you received then you can reroll to try and get a better boost, but that will cost stubs too
Just approach it as a mobile MLB game and don't expect it to resemble the console version. It's free to download but it is a few gigs of space. If you try it then get past all the onboarding tutorials and try each mode and see what you think

Working as intended, lol.
That mobile game has some of you by the baseballs, just as SDS intended 🤪 -

It's free so I figured "why not try it?". I have no intention of spending money on it. There are no ads that I see so if anything I am simply a drain on their resources
I may play it a few days and then never again but for now it is free entertainment when I have a few minutes to kill

Haha, i've hit a snag, it wants me to play a head to head game but it can't find anyone to face me lol, typical MLB the show

That's weird. I had no issues earlier.
I just tested and sure enough there seems to be some issues
-
Are XP points transferable to the console game or just specific to the mobile version?

Nothing transfers, it's a completely different game, I got a Billy Williams before my game acted up... I wish Billy Williams was in the console game still
