Your Thoughts on MLB 15: The Show After Two Weeks of Release
Those who picked up MLB 15: The Show at or around release have now had plenty of time to settle in with the game and form opinions. For the most part the game is being received well by consumers and to an extent reviewers (check out my review here) however its Metacritic score is the lowest for the series since MLB 07 (the first one on PS3) which suggests something more is being desired from the product than it is delivering.

Tap Sports Baseball 2015 Review
The original Tap Sports Baseball, released last August, was undoubtedly one of the best sports games for mobile devices last year.

Checking in on The Show Live Mode in MLB 15: The Show
The Show Live in MLB 15 is not a new mode - it was introduced in MLB 13 - but it's something that changes by the day. The concept is to offer up the current day's slate of games (and those from earlier in the season) to play utilizing accurate lineups. There are also meant to be lines from the announcers during the games referencing their place in the season. The mode has worked fairly well in the past outside of a few quirks and inaccuracies and that's the case again this year. ...

The new license is a welcome addition to what has become a solid portable version of its more illustrious desktop counterpart, Out of the Park Baseball, and fans will welcome the new license atop an already familiar and strong feature set.
