MLB The Show 16
Baseball games don't get much better than this. MLB The Show 16 continues Sony's acclaimed slugger series in triumphant fashion, where every strikeout feels like a monumental feat, and a grand slam is just as glorious as in the real world. It's all about the details here: your pitcher's fatigue is tracked and actually factors into their throws, your team's morale will affect your performance during a season, and scouting new players is an impressively multifaceted process (while still being accessible).

While last year's release felt like the series was plateauing, this year, MLB The Show 16 returns better than ever. The gameplay remains consistently solid, and tweaks and additions to Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty will surely keep people coming back for more.

As usual, MLB The Show remains the series to beat in the baseball simulation category (not that there’s much competition). Unlike last year, which served mostly as a spit-shine to a venerable series, MLB The Show 16 features meaningful upgrades, including a few new modes to change up the way baseball is played. At this point, any other developers thinking of trying to take on The Show should seriously consider doing something else with their time and money.
