Given how insubstantial the changes are to the mechanics of how characters work in MLB The Show 21 this is surprising – I can’t imagine what’s so different about this year’s version that would prevent a feature that’s carried over for years. The bummer here is that you can no longer move your save file forward from previous games in the series, meaning you need to start fresh.

That said, those who haven’t picked up an MLB The Show since 17 or 18 will absolutely find that MLB The Show 20 is the best place to pick the series back up. But even with the excellent new Showdown mode, longtime fans may be just a little turned off by the lack of big new changes. Developer Sony San Diego has tweaked and tightened everything that was presented in MLB The Show 19, and as a result, playing baseball on a console has never been this fluid. In what feels like a minor but noticeable update, MLB The Show 20 doesn’t break what wasn’t broken.
