Similar to what was first introduced in NBA Live 09 as the "Rewind" feature, with later variations on the concept having been incorporated by NBA 2K and MLB 2K, "The Show Live" in MLB 13: The Show offers the opportunity to play the current day's match-ups or go back and play any from earlier in the season with rosters (fed in from MLB.com) accurate to the game in question. With the season opening up last night it's important to check on how everything is working thus far as modes of this typ...

Part One of Player Face Comparisons Between MLB 13: The Show and MLB 2K13
With baseball one of the last remaining sports that have competition - whether that continues to be the case in 2014 is up in the air at this point - the player face comparison between the two games has been one of the most popular features of the spring the last few years.

MLB 13: The Show – Hits and Misses

Online Play Takes Tremendous Step Forward in MLB 13: The Show

When NBA 2K made strides last year it left The Show as the only sports franchise that was not providing an acceptable online experience. Regardless of the reasons why, online performance was typically awful, and the games were simply not fun to play due to the advantage held by the pitchers. Based on the days following release of MLB 13: The Show ...

Your Thoughts So Far on MLB 13: The Show
Outside of Postseason mode MLB 13: The Show didn't carry with it a bevy of flashy new features. What it did do however was work to refine and enhance all aspects of the series while increasing accessibility. Outside of an issue with CPU pitchers serving up fat first pitches most at-bats and an occasional stutter out of the pitching delivery (both of which are documented quite well in threads on Operation Sports - first pitch meatballs here and stutter here - but also noted by myself) this ma...
