MLB The Show 21

[SonOfJack]

Still waiting on release date but there have been some leaks.

Tatis Jr on the cover and Xbox version confirmed. They had said other platforms would get it as soon as 2021 and I guess at least Xbox has.

I wonder if they're going to have some console exclusive cards or equipment. Like PS5 gets Player A and Xbox gets Player B.

Hey, looks like I can play a baseball game again if it's coming to Xbox, that's exciting.

If you own a Xbox Series S/X or PS5, you have to buy the next gen version. There is NO upgrade path from current generation to next generation.

There isn't if you get standard edition but there is if you get a collector's edition (so I assume MVP, Digi-Deluxe and their usual yearly special physical one).

What I am personally most excited about based on current information:

 

 

Two way players, baby!

It's time for some Steve Nebraska awesomeness.

[SonOfJack]

I am going to get the regular next gen edition this year, 70 bucks is enough.

[Michael]

All this sounds pretty good.

For those of you haven't experienced the PS5 controller haptics, it is a game changer. It makes you feel like a part of the game when done right. Hopefully they did this well.

Game: inside pitch, jammed, broken bat

Controller: shakes so violently your wrists hurt

This is very cool. But I myself am out this year.

I hope you're right but I doubt it.

You hope? Just buy it if you want it.

That's not how I meant it. 

I don't play any more because I don't have any time, not even a little anymore. Haven't touched a controller in months. I "hope" come April I could say differently but it's doubtful.

Make more time, you banshee. 💙

We should do a Marlinsbaseball.com tournament or something. Even if only a home run derby. 
 

There probably is one and I’m just not cool enough to know about it.

If there is one, I am also not cool enough to know about it. Sounds fun though!

HR Derby would work. 😀

Digital Deluxe edition we go yet again.

I'm hopeful that I can get a PS5 next month, but not holding my breath at this point.

I would hope not. You’d never live a month without breathing.
