    MLB The Show 16 had the first reveal of feature details and teaser trailer early last month. That included "Showtime" (a bullet-time type feature for Road to the Show and Player Lock), retractable roofs, six classic stadiums, new cards for Diamond Dynasty, and mention of two new modes that were being held back to announce at a later date. Today SCEA went further into detail on Road to the Show as well as how ShowTime factors into the mode. In addition to not having to go back to the menu ...

    The reboot of RBI Baseball will be returning for its third season. MLBAM announced today that RBI Baseball 16 will release this spring on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and mobile. It remains the only licensed MLB game on XB1, but has recently been joined by the terrific unlicensed Super Mega Baseball to give fans at least a choice of games on the console. It has been a rough return for the series, with the game having been met coldly due to lack of features, poor post-release support, hi...

    He'll be remembered as one of the best baseball players of all-time, but also as a video game icon. Ken Griffey Jr. was today inducted into the Hall of Fame becoming the 51st player to make it in on their first ballet.

Between 1994 and 1999, Griffey was the face of four different Nintendo games: Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (1994), K...

    It may be nearly four months out but some of the early details on MLB The Show 16 have already been provided. That's not out of the norm for the series which tends to have first info on base-features and improvements out annually in early-mid December. In fact, there is far less substance this time around than in recent years of promotion. Still there's a lot to chew on, including one feature that is being met by a predictably mixed response, some good news on Road to the Show and a...
