Can we all agree that the forward facing new “no doubt” angle is absolutely terrible. I will always love the view behind the player to see where the ball is going. The pro-spirit game angle is pretty legit from what I’ve seen as well. Just trying to maybe give SDS a little feedback here. What do you all think? Just because something is new, doesn’t mean it’s better. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday.

MLB The Show 27 could be the best sports game ever made if SDS simply keeps up with the times.

It is time for a major leap forward in graphics, presentation, crowd reactions, and stadium atmosphere.

Baseball can be electric, emotional, tense, and sometimes a grind. The game should reflect all of it. Where is “New York, New York” after a Yankees win? Where are the Bleacher Creatures chanting each player’s name? Where is the Sausage Race in Milwaukee, “Sweet Caroline” in Boston, ceremonial first pitches, pregame shows, scoreboard traditions, unique crowd chants, and unforgettable closer entrances?

I understand that music licensing can be complicated, but some traditions are worth paying for, while others could be recreated or recorded specifically for the game.

In 2026, players, uniforms, stadiums, lighting, weather, and crowd environments should look immaculate. Broadcast cutscenes should be so realistic that, at times, it is difficult to tell the difference between the game and a live television broadcast.

Gameplay and game modes obviously need continued improvement, but presentation is what creates immersion. Give fans a game that makes us say, “Wow, now that is baseball.”

Make us feel like we are standing in the batter’s box, hearing the crowd build, living the biggest moments, and experiencing the personality of every stadium.

MLB The Show should not just simulate baseball. It should capture everything that makes baseball special.

Hopefully, SDS has been listening. Let's see what 2027 can bring us!

This guy needs to be in the game yesterday! Not only is he catching for the Yankees and Dominican Winter League batting champion. His story is the best in baseball right now.

I also think Judges’s batting stance and rhythm during his stance needs upgrading along with the guys facial hair which was one of the other biggest stories in baseball this off-season.

Hope to see this soon. Thanks guys.

The whole freakin Yankees team needs to be updated along with adding who is ACTUALLY on the team. (ex. JC Escarra and others). The new fascial hair additions need to be updated for sure! Hopefully this Friday all this will come.

Why haven’t we done this yet? What’s the hold up SDS! A lot of players to be added and player features to be updated!

@ncbravesfan82_MLBTS No roster update today? That’s absolutely ridiculous SDS. You pay the price for the game, you should expect the updates to roll in early and often. I haven’t started franchise for this exact reason. The Yankees roster and team look is BS right now. FIX IT!

@JoeSelser_PSN At least bring back the Sounds Of The Show somehow and let us upload our own bought music or someone else do it for us like the good ol days. But graphics and presentation definitely need an upgrade.

Absolutely agree! Put JC Escarra in the game! Best story in baseball right now!

@DTC1313_PSN Awesome! Thanks for doing that!

@trfatboy22_PSN I get your point but it’s 2025. With the technology, the cost of things, there definitely should be updates within the game sooner than May. If that’s the case then why even release until May/June so they can hit the ground running. The details absolutely matter to make it a great game. People want to see the right gloves, bats, stances, player emotion/bat-flips, even fascial hair. If they want to keep-up they have to stay ahead and major in the minors. Just my thoughts.

Where are the updates for this? We knew this rule change in the spring!? Can we get this updated please?

@fubar2k7_PSN Also you can’t tell me MLB is better than CFB in presentation and graphics. That’s crazy. I know SDS can step their game up and get it done. The game has looked the same for 10 years.
