MLB the Show is up there with other sports video games. Despite its success, San Diego Studio needs to make a few improvements. This year, there has been a bat lag glitch that really needs to be fixed. Also, some different phrases should be used. I am tired of Dan Plesac saying Chris Sale and Max Scherzer are pitch to contact guys. Their needs to be more big brands like Coca Cola or McDonald’s instead of some bootleg made up brand. The Show should also take an approach similar to Madden 18’s Longshot. Longshot provides more realistic off the field interactions that would fit perfectly in baseball. I agree with the coverboy of Aaron Judge on The Show 18 but a think a cover with Harper and Trout back-to-back would be nice.
Today, November 11, 2017, former Major League pitcher Roy Halladay was killed in a plane crash at age 40. The former Blue Jays and Phillies pitcher went 203-105 in his 16 year career. Pitching a perfect game and a no hitter in the season, Halladay was a solid pitcher. His durability was known throughout baseball as he led the league in innings pitched four different times. Part of a select few with a Cy Young title in both leagues, Halladay was a franchise pitcher for both of his team. He last played in MLB in 2013. Halladay also is known to gamers as the coverboy of the iconic MLB 2K11. He was an avid flyer and would practice flying his plane in his free time. It was only him in the plane when it crashed, similar to Thurman Munson’s tragic death. Roy Halladay will forever be in our thoughts.
