MLB 15: The Show
MLB 15: The Show
Développé par SCE San Diego Studio et édité par Sony Computer Entertainment, MLB 15: The Show marque la dixième itération de la franchise de simulation de baseball. Le titre est sorti le 31 mars 2015 sur PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 et PlayStation Vita. Cette édition met l'accent sur la continuité et l'histoire du sport en introduisant deux fonctionnalités majeures : la compatibilité ascendante des sauvegardes « Year-to-Year », qui permet aux joueurs de MLB 14 The Show de poursuivre leur progression en mode Franchise et Road to the Show, ainsi que l'ajout de trente légendes du baseball, une par équipe, couvrant soixante-dix ans d'histoire et disponibles via le système de cartes virtuelles.
Côté réception, la presse spécialisée a globalement salué la qualité de la simulation. PlayStation Universe a souligné un produit fini offrant une expérience améliorée, tandis que NZGamer a qualifié le jeu d'excellent, estimant que la franchise rivalise avec les meilleures simulations sportives comme FIFA et Madden. Du côté des joueurs, l'accueil est contrasté : certains louent un titre addictif et visuellement abouti, affichant des graphismes et une physique dignes de la nouvelle génération ainsi que des temps de chargement nettement réduits, mais d'autres regrettent la présence de nombreux bugs et glitches venant entacher l'expérience. Le jeu obtient une note agrégée de 77,86.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« MLB 15 The Show takes the field with equipment, experience, and an improved network. All in all, gamers are bequeathed with a finished product that’s, universal, immersive, and also accompanied by a one-of-a-kind Diamond Dynasty mode that will certainly inspire game modes from now on. »
« That small gripe aside, MLB The Show 15 is an excellent game and the franchise still rivals FIFA and Madden for the best sports simulation game. »
« Sony San Diego eschewed developing splashy back-of-the-box bullet points in favor of refining an already great game, exhibiting a confidence that is itself quietly remarkable — just like this series' consistency. »
« The new and improved game modes make this year's installment of The Show a grand slam for any sports fan. »
« A wonderful game. »
« You might not feel blown away by The Show 15 with anything new, but you’ll be blown away once more by everything that this series has done right for so long. »
« Other than functional online play, there’s nothing revolutionary about this year’s version. It does get to legitimately say that it looks and plays better than any other baseball game you can buy right now, but only slightly. »
« Let’s be honest here, many of you are going to upgrade every year regardless of what is added or changed. For those of you that look for major changes before jumping on board, I do think this year’s changes on PS4/PS3 are well worth the purchase. »

« MLB 15: The Show is a great game with a big problem. The game is a blast to play and very addictive. However, there are so many glitches that it almost takes away from the experience. »
« Another fantastic rendition of MLB. The game is finally beginning to look like a next gen title with updated graphics, physics etc. The loading times are VASTLY improved which makes a huge difference if you play RTTS. There are still legacy issues like no closed dome options, sloppy uniform details etc but if you love baseball you can go no wrong with this. »
« MLB 15: The Show is by far the best baseball game that has been out in awhile. In my opinion as far as gameplay goes it is easily the most realistic of all the MLB the show games. One thing that really stands out to me as to why the game has such a realistic gameplay is the hitting aspect. In past MLB games most people just used X to swing regular and maybe square to power swing with a big power hitter. In this version they have came up with three different approaches to hitting, regular, power, and contact swing. Being able to choose and execute use these three really makes it feel like real life situations and having more control where you hit the ball regardless to the pitch location. The other realist difference maker is the drag bunting. As I'm an advocate for some small ball being played in previous games the drag bunt wasn't very realistic. It was almost impossible to successfully execute a drag bunt down the first base line or to the second baseman even with the fastest players in the league. With the new gameplay a lefty can place a drag bunt past the pitcher and towards the second baseman for a base hit which is what the games best bunters do. »
« Never ever get these games. These are the worst video games I have ever played. This game glitches all of the time, it ****, the players are in accurately rated and all this game does is cause stress. Also the MLB 2k games were much better but the show rant them out business. »
« MLB the show was generally a good game. It was better than I expected, and was probably as close as you can get to a realistic baseball game. It is challenging, and it is worth the buy if you are a baseball fan. If you are not a baseball fan, I'd advise you don't make the purchase. My player, franchise, and UT are all easy to navigate through. Pretty simple, pretty fun, hope this review helps. »
« With the addition of General Manager Contracts, you now must consider Ownership Expectations when operating your team, and your performance will determine the job offers that you'll be confronted with. Building a championship-caliber team is more dynamic than in previous iterations, with the new Performance-based Player Progression, as well as improved Trade and Contract logic. Partner up with Brand Sponsors, giving your broadcast elements an official sponsor and earn some extra cash to spend on your team. »
« Very little has changed from last year to this years game. The core gameplay is still good but you can tell alot of the animations and audio is carried over from last year. Most of the update for this years game is in the presentation and in some of the newly revamped game modes. A newly added card game mechanic was also added but it can be skipped entirely if you dont care about it. I'm mostly giving this game the score I am because the core gameplay is very fun and will make any baseball fan happy. But I'd probably recommend getting last years game,especially right now with how cheap it is, over this years. »
« This "next gen" game feels like you're playing on a Playstation 1. If you want to swing your bat, you better press that swing button 5 second before the pitch comes across because everything is delayed in the game. Super laggy, I skipped MLB 14 and I still think MLB 13 is a much better, smoother experience. Don't waste your money on this game. »
