Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Okay, so we love the game and mechanics are great. However, Im consistently getting small stutter frames or lag. Its not due to connection, its more of a the game likes to randomly freeze and then unfreeze. Can be frustrating when in the middle of an at bat, or pitching. Another thing we would like to see, for your players, is like to see better statistics for the players on the team. Their hits/rbi/steals/avg, this would be nice to see as the game progresses. We believe yall are on a good track! Keep it up.
MLB the show is a wonderful fun game. The dynamics are really fun and different. The card art is also really well done. We do advise that you play on good Internet because sometimes is laggy. But after that flaw it is smooth sailing.
Fix the bugs plz game just gets stuck on players and then cant play after because the game is just stuck but still very fun game.
We still can not see our Dailey rewards calendar icon on our Home Screen its been gone for weeks.
You actually need skill to be good at this game especially with the whole contact system.
We like this cus it is so fun and indicative we just cant stop playing this better than Roblox.
The Internet keep on breaking up and also the servers are delaying.
Love game can be glitchy at times.
At first it had a lot of bugs that would either crash or freeze the game, but now its almost perfect. Gameplay loop is addicting and fun. Literally a pocket version of the show with easy to understand controls that you can sink a lot of time into if you want. Exactly what Id want from a pocket version of the show.
The game was pretty buggy for us so we redownloaded and got an update and its all good. This game is addicting as hell.
By far the best baseball game you can download for iOS and even for andriod.. Ive tried them all and this one is head of its class ..the graphics the animations are all amazing..its addictive if you like baseball and a must everyday in our opinion..free game that we wouldnt mind paying for its that good.
So MLB The Show mobile baseball has been the best game we have ever played in the world of the history of the universe so we really consider it and if your parents say no tell him that Jimmy John said to download it peace out Homies.
When the game doesnt stutter during pitches or freeze up between batters its the best game Ive played on a phone. Right after installing update 1.17.0 we went into a 3 game series against Baltimore. First game Im up 12-0 then it freezes after a pitch. Second game Im up 7-2, get an out. It freezes up while showing the shortstop jogging to his position. Restart game and get notice the game is undergoing maintenance for the second time this afternoon. Maybe two updates in one day.
GIVE US CONSOLE EXPERIENCE PLEASE ROAD TO THE SHOW CAREER MODE WOULD FEED FAMILYS.
So its a very good game our brother does not like the game but he has never had played it so yaaaaa slay girl byeee.
This is one of the most fun games its almost the mlb the show 26 overall 5 stars.
We love everything about this game just everything.
This game has everything you need, its fairly easy to progress and build a solid team. Only a couple things we wish were different. We wish we could see our players stats. We want to see ERA, AVG, slugging,HRs, strike outs. Its just kinda bare without it. And also we have some issues where we do not get our rewards from seasons. They just disappear. Overall tho a great game.
Its super fun to play when bored.
This is an awesome game by its self and a great MLB The Show alternative. Only with there was a Road to the Show option.
Very good game but lags when pitching and will freeze right before the catcher catches the pitch and then unfreeze.
MLB the show please make no momentum because if one guy gets out on stacked team the rest of the team is nerfed and make the attributes of the players better please some players dont deserve to be that good some do, and please we are begging you please let us make lineups, and let pitchers be in for longer we will take them out when they are tired and add road to the show PLEASE AND NO MOMENTUM.
We think there was a glitch, there was a player batting and it had a tiny head. A REALLY tiny head.
Overall great physics, great gameplay, but we would like the game to have like a franchise or road to the show gamemode; it only has moments.
We love the game. We play everyday every chance we get. However ever since the system update after the all star game we cant play. It keeps saying challenge error and kicks us out. Please help.
Great game just wish there was more of opportunity to play a season.
Good game. Offense and defense seem to work fine. Obviously its new but they should add more single player modes, conquest is the best and they should put more time into making that mode harder. Some bugs, just like the ps5 version, there are weird loading times and lag here and there. Had a few instances where you lose a baserunner. Keep updating it please.
Could use some work on like hitting pcis and pitching pcis.
We just wish it was like it on ps5.
Wish we could do more but a solid game.
Great game to play. What we would change is add being able to challenge a call, and be able to simulate an inning or half an inning. Also fix the lag and make it so you are able to leave and come back to a game to keep progress.
This game is pretty good, graphics are better than most, and movements are realistic to players, doesnt have a practice mode to just practice hitting or pitching. The seasons mode is kinda hard to navigate and there is no schedule for season games, you just search for different areas in the US map for teams to play. There are some bugs with the batters anticipation animations. But hitting and pitching are pretty fun. Little bug fixes and missing modes, season model needs fixing to be simpler for playing.
Good game, has great bat to ball physics and the animations feel real without being repetitive. Good progression system for the game as long as you consistently play and login. Moments is for sure the best mode, offering great rewards with fun variable moments and missions to complete. Only downside to this game thats keeping it from being GREAT is lack of other modes. A dynasty mode or a road to the show mode would make this the best baseball game on the App Store. If you guys read this add Road to the show some how some way, do it.
Pretty fun, but would be better with head 2 head full 9 inning games.
All in all, this is a decent game for a mobile app. The Good: -Fun -Easy to play -No need to spend real money -Decent Graphics The Bad: -Buggy -Sometimes takes awhile loading -No way to connect Show account from console -Only 3 game modes 4/5, maybe even 3.8 imo (Disclaimer: Ive played the show on PlayStation and currently still do).
Would be 5 stars but we feel like the cards should be able to got To a 99 ovr but the stats are the same idk why no cards at the time of us writing this only go to a 93.
This game is a lot of fun to play but our goodness how glitchy it is. You cant play for 5 minutes without random pauses, connection issues, or certain features just not working like right now where moments wont load. We also wish theyd add a road to the show mode. So much potential but a lot to resolve.
If we didnt the game didnt freeze while Im up against random team killing it and end up losing. Make it to where we can at least replay the match and its a 5 star game. Also, the 24 hour wait time on Head to Head is outrageous. Make it shorter so we can grind and make those 250 trophies we need just to make the postseason.
We love the game and how its set up. Its fun to play. Makes the season mode great with only three innings. Maybe even four or five would be cool too. The worst part of the game is if you have a network error or have to step away for a phone call. It will not let you continue your progress. Take a loss for that game, which we think is absolutely ridiculous. We would give it a higher star rating if that was fixed. Hate having to keep taking losses because we have a network error problem or have to take a phone call that takes longer than a minute. Please fix this in an update, and we would give it a better star rating.
Extremely fun and addicting! However, multiple bugs and imbalances in gameplay make it extremely frustrating. First off, seasons need a rework for their games. Multiple times we have been soft locked out of pitching in the bottom of the inning. You choose the pitcher then nothing. Just a moving camera and no gameplay. This is an issue because your seasons require you to not disconnect or quit forcing a loss. This impacts your ability to complete a season mode due to a minimum and win need and maximum amount of losses you can take before your season resets. Other than this type of bug, many games and head to heads have extremely inconsistent batting stats and pitching. At points you feel your players are just too good getting bad timing pitches and bats just for you to still pitch a strike or hit a double. The other times a good pitch is way outside. Batting has the same issues. You swing late with bad contact and heres a home run or at least a single. You hit a perfect/perfect, and heres an infield fly or a dribbled line drive straight into the glove of infield. These are the biggest issues that need fixed otherwise its quite enjoyable.
Ive been playing this the past week and the game has a lot of potential, but is not fully polished. Some missing features: 1. Quick sell of cards 2. One tap to select card to play (dragging and dropping is annoying) 3. Daily reward challenges Issues: 1. The game often crashes when transitioning from fielding to pitching 2. Sometimes the transitions cause the game to lock up 3. Random occurrences of the catchers head being physically shrunken we overall enjoy the game but the crashes really ruin the experience. Instead of auto-losing, there should be an option to continue the game where if left off.
This is ridiculous. We were playing head-to-head and during round two freaking our opponent scored 1008. Meanwhile, we only scored 23. This is ridiculous. Please ban him.
The game is great graphics great but the game is so glitchy and sometimes in the middle of a game our screen will go completely pink.
The game is fun to play but it lags and glitches way too often to be enjoyable at times. There have been multiple time we were forced to quit a game and lose as well as during game that Im able to play the players we pick to bat/pitch dont get put it and the game pick someone random. Other times the game glitches and takes away runner off the bases mid game.
When we pitch the ball freezes then they get a Immediately extra base hit so annoying then we lost the game 6 to 4.
Very laggy when first downloaded, cant even get through the tutorials without waiting a whole 10 seconds for every other frame.
Great game and controls. A lot of screen freezing that makes it too annoying to play.
Game is really fun but whenever we freeze, and we try to reload the game, we automatically lost the game making us lose in the playoffs making us restart the whole season again which sucks pls optimize the game better devs.
So we got this game because we have the show 23 on our Nintendo but it broke so we search it up on our phone. We started to play and we loved it. But today just now it said there was an error to play the game. After they updated the game it kept saying there was an error. Please fix this bug.
The game is fun and it has pretty decent graphics all things considering and it is really easy to earn good players but the game is extremely laggy has hugs that seem to never be addressed for some unknown reason and packs are way too expensive but besides that its pretty decent.
