    Extensive loading times have always plagued the MLB: The Show franchise. Expectation last year on PS4 was for that to become a non-issue with the move to more powerful hardware. Unfortunately not only did loading times not improve but they worsened significantly. Shortened loading times were promised though with MLB 15: The Show and the game has undoutedly delivered on that. Thankfully it's now comparable to all the other sports franchises and when combined with the new Suspend/Resume fea...

  • MLB 15: The Show Dynamic Themes Now Available on PS4

    Sony has released the 30 team-specific Dynamic Themes for MLB 15: The Show on PlayStation 4. There's also a theme offered for the game in general. They're being sold for $3.49 each. These aren't as active as some other themes I've seen - though the ballparks do have animated video screens, flags waving in the wind, and the baseball which rotates - and I expected more baseball-related sound effects but they do look pretty sharp. $3.49 is a fairly hefty price for a theme yet some fans of th...
  • Soundtrack for MLB 15: The Show

    While MLB: The Show is known for many positive things the soundtracks each edition has offered have never been among them. Not only have the song choices been questionable but the number of them were limited to sometimes as few as 10.

It's not a possibility on PS4 however so users are stuck with whatever is built into the game. Here are 10 tracks (there were 13 last year) that are found inÂÂ...
