    The initial wave of gameplay information and details regarding MLB The Show 18 have been released.

    Sony San Diego started the release of information with the First Look Gameplay trailer and shortly thereafter the PlayStation Blog released a blog from Community Manager and Developer Ramone Russell with more details.

    Also, IGN has posted a 22-minute Let's Play with Russell covering gameplay improvements.

    Continue on to see the gameplay trailer, excerpts of the PS Blog, and a link to the IGN video.



    Baseball is a game of details. At its core there’s pitching, hitting, catching, throwing, and tagging. All of those areas of the game have received major development resources this year. Below are a few changes we’ve revealed in our trailer:
    • Expansion of Road to the Show
    • Dynamic crowds like Judge’s Chambers
    • New unique home run celebrations
    • Revamped hitting engine with improved physics
    • Rewritten player tagging system
    • Over 1,000 new gameplay animations
    • More legends

      They said there is a feature in the game we have been wanting for awhile. I really hope that's a batter's eye mechanic. Without that it's a hard pass this year. Last year's version will be fine.

      They got me interested with the mentioned expansion of Road to the Show. That mode has been in dire need of either a complete overhaul or major additions/changes for a while now.

      Pretty cool to see Ruth unlocked from the go and for use in Franchise. I wish all sports franchises did the same:
