MLB The Show series is one of the best simulations of the "real thing" in regards to sports video games. Year by year the changes are minor, but they improve the product and, to be honest, there isn't that much to improve in a game as static as baseball. The source material makes the work of the game creators much easier than in the case of MMA or wrestling games. Yet, without a proper effort the game could suck, while MLB The Show 16 does quite the opposite.

The presentation is great, the animation is fluid, the players move naturally. The most fun play option is probably Road to the Show, which starts with a Scout Day and continues on in the regular career mode. The player rating is not as important this year, as opposed to how the gamer plays, which is also fun, as it allows the gamer to exhibit bigger control over the game.
