Cross platform play! Yes!

I probably just wasn't keeping up but I was surprised Sony made an Xbox version. A sign of things to come, or some kind of stipulation from MLB?

This is from an article from two years ago.

Previously, fans were only able to play MLB The Show on Sony's PlayStation consoles. That was until Sony's San Diego studio reached the new agreement with the MLB and the Players Association to bring the game to multiple platforms.

MLB The Show is no longer a PlayStation exclusive, will be released on other consoles - CBSSports.com

I haven't played this in many years. what's the average length it takes to play 9-inning game? longer when playing against an online human instead of CPU?

Maxflier

I would say 45mins to an hour for a full game against the cpu. Not sure about vs a human online.

It's not a rumor and it is in the 1st post as well.

Do we know if this is a simple spec bump for next gen like Madden was? Or is it a new experience on next gen like NBA 2K was?

got the Tech Demo Test for PS5... wow I have no idea how to play this game. I stumbled through the Heavy Rain pitching UI, but gave up after the 2nd inside-park-HR cause I couldn't figure out how to throw the ball back into the infield.

How does it look?

redbill

real nice. but I haven't played it since PS3. I'll spend some more time with it today with beginner controls...

Anyone wondering about the graphics, not a big difference from last gen. Does look sharper though.
