MLB The Show 19 still offers some fun baseball gameplay that’s both engaging to learn and rewarding to master, yet it isn’t too different from what’s come before. Road to the Show is still worth the price of admission alone, and those who love Diamond Dynasty will get plenty of mileage with this year’s offering thanks to Moments and March to October. Even with modes and features like Franchise going practically untouched, the game does more than enough to keep up Sony’s great track record for another year.

Road to the Show has always been the best “My Player” mode out there and San Diego Studios truly outdid themselves this year. While some of the stuff may be borrowed from other series, it was much needed. This year, your player will include a player archetype and a personality archetype. You will choose whether the player is a power hitter or someone that focuses on speed or a variation of pitching types. You will also set the clubhouse personality, whether they be a leader or a maverick. Players will progress through their career with answering dialogue that will provide points to use in a skill tree that will grant bonuses. The career is actually narrated as it brings somewhat of a story premise to the mode. Lastly, there will be mini games that will dictate raising your level cap. Each series is streamlined for a quicker process as you will still participate in only the plays you are involved in. This is the greatest leap that RTTS has ever taken.

Perhaps the biggest addition is Moments, though, which allows you to either replicate or reverse the course of history by playing key games in baseball lore. Not only does this allow the title to showcase some of its new legendary players, but it also operates as a kind of history lesson, with archived footage really adding to the storylines of icons like Babe Ruth. There’s even a black-and-white filter, although retro stadiums would really add to the atmosphere of these challenges.

There are other modes as well, like playing through historic moments with legendary players, including unique commentary scenarios. Players can relieve moments like Bryce Harper's rookie year or shorter moments like Willie Mays' legendary catch. There's also a classic mode, where the game plays like a retro baseball game, with simple pitching and hitting.With so many modes available, the menus are a little cluttered, and while some areas received upgrades, Franchise mode, outside of March to October remains largely the same. There are also some weird audio and commentary quirks, but it's safe to assume these will be patched out shortly after release.

MLB The Show 19 is similar to last year's in a lot of ways, but it's still the best baseball game available on the PlayStation 4. But if you're looking for a vastly improved product over last year's effort, “MLB The Show 19” might leave you wanting more.
