MLB The Show 22 Test - Until the End of the Dream
WALK OF LIFE
The MLB the Show series is basic-ball game simulation, both for its qualities and also for the mere fact that there has been no other for years. Hard to make a name when the game reference comes out every year with a perfect regularity, and which is more when it holds the official license of the American major league. It is also a reason that the MLB has "kindly" asked Sony to consider the exit on other platforms as the only Japanese manufacturer since edition 21: for The first time, it was released on the Microsoft consoles in addition to the two Sony lounge consoles, this to expand the broadcast of the MLB and touch an even wider audience (and obviously pick up even more money at Passage is obviously good war). And this year, new surprise: the game is also available on the Switch , in a version necessarily a little less punchy graphically, but with pretty respectable performances to remaining according to the returns (even if some fararate defects and Graphics are raised).
This year, the star who has the honeters of jackets and cinematics is the Japanese player of the Los Angeles Angels: Shohei Ohtani (succeeding on the jacket of the special edition has nothing less than the iconic Jackie Robinson, that even a peon like me knows at least name). For the small story, the young (27) player landed in MLB in 2018 after a few years in the major league's antechamber and since collecting rewards, records and distinctions despite an absence due to shoulder surgery. Very complete player that can be launcher, external field player or appointed hitter, it is nicknamed "shotime": it was clearly intended to cover the Japanese editor game one day or the other. When launching the game a kinematics presents the player and the very long-term plan he had launched for years to realize his dream of becoming one of the best players on the planet; Obviously, considering his fame and abilities, he looks good for, in any case. Then, we arrive directly in a match, at the orders of the star of L.A., in which we have the opportunity to feel the gameplay to throw and strike. Nothing like to get in legs before attacking...
Sultans of Swing
The main menu looks succinct until we unfold and we can not notice that we only have the choice of choice question modes of play. It is obviously possible to play parts to the stolen by choosing the match teams and a whole swallow of complementary options (number of sleeves, stadium, weather conditions...); It will also be possible to play legendary games between emblematic teams of recent decades, _ All _ The players entering the gigantic roster game. In addition to the various modes of simple parts, more complete game modes are also Available, starting with "road to the show": this mode is to create its character (almost from A to Z) and bringing it from the smallest league to the majors by playing all the games entrusted by the coaches of teams that hired you. It is possible to choose the role of the player - I chose to make an closer: a launcher charged to finish the matches, called in the or the last sleeves to relieve the main launcher and mislead the tired opponents. So I was able to chain the games to make only one or two rounds in match again, but you can of course also make a batter, a starter, a player on the basis or outside field, or even several roles, all at your convenience.
Of course it is a very complete mode, because largely experienced in previous episodes, we are entitled to many kinematics in the form of podcasts mixing tips for a (true) baseball player in minor league, advice psychological, career analyzes... with the contest of old or current glories of the game like Joe Mauer, Cliff Floyd or Ken Groupey JR, the podcast evolves dynamically according to your performance in what is the career mode of the game. According to the archetype (Launcher / Striker / Field Player) Selected, you can put chandeliers to mount double-a to MLB and refine the (very numerous) statistics of your player while enjoying the gameplay with small onions of the game. Very widely A great pleasure to play.
The diamond dynasty mode focuses on the collection card game representing the current or past players of the games: you start with 10 packets to "open" virtually to start your collec 'and the purpose of the mode is then to build a roster suitable for mounting a team. It is possible to buy and sell (with stubs, the game currency) cards on a dedicated marketplace and thus complete your dream team and then play parts, accumulate stubs, accumulate cards, make transactions with The other players... Of course, there is no little profit and it is obviously possible to buy stubs with currency ringing and stumbling on your store favorite...
Brothers in ARMS
The following two modes, March to october and Franchise, are modes dedicated to the teams. The first puts you in the skin players from the team retained in the key moments of the games of the season leading the team to glory and the World Series. The franchise mode extends to the management of a team from A to Z... it is fortunately accompanied by options for managing more or less things: for beginners (like me), we can choose to take care of What management of the lineup, rotations during games and injuries of players. But we can also manage the identification of talented players to make them sign with the team, even for the most motivated take on the total management of the team, the contracts itself, the contracts, the negotiations between Teams, the entire locker room... As many options that will delight the basic team owner simulation fans.
But to go back to the virtual practice of this sport, we still have other choices of games. In addition to the quick parts already mentioned to make a small match on the thumb, MLB The Show 22 present weekly challenges to win physical prices (autographs...) or numerical goodies; We can also compete in home runs derbys against other online opponents. Obviously, the game is not stingy with a good competition between players around the world and a global ranking of players during games online under the sign of Crossplay: players of all platforms can cross the bats for Determine which is the strongest... but also associate in coop parts in 3V3 or 2V2! And in addition to the CrossPlay, MLB The Show 22 is also cross-progression: it is thus possible to find its integral profile even by changing platform. As long as uniting all brackets, as much to do it well after all.
YOUR LATEST TRICK
For a baseball enlightened amateur and especially for the fond of the American League, MLB The Show 22 aims right to the heart. Ultra complete with gambling modes, big names and options in every corner and corner, and between a small fast part and total management of a MLB team, the game is clearly more than generous, with pleasure To be able to play coop out and online, crossplay and cross-progression. However, does the game have qualities? Does he add to one (almost) neophyte like me? One of the first big black points of the game is the lack of translation. I fully understand that it is complicated to translate thousands of text lines, podcasts and comments in full English; And the game is for priority to the American public. But even if we know how to speak English correctly, the profusion of technical terms sometimes makes (often) difficult the understanding of all that one can / must manage, and above all, especially, the cyclopean mass of statistics in all directions. When we do not know, it's simple: we do not understand anything about what one increases, what is trained, what we read on the screen. And on that, no help Alas.
If you decide to attack career or team game modes, it will be necessary to invest time to learn at least the basics of all the statistical tables that will be presented, and believe me, there are many. In the absence of _ all-know, it will still be advisable to have at least some notions in the rules of the game before considering the purchase - I think I think if you buy it, it's most often in all Knowledge... By chipotant, I will also regret the repetitiveness of the comments in the games, even if we focus especially on the game itself.
For the rest, it is at all good (except for me the virtual currency that can be bought with real currency, but have to turn the trade my good gentleman) and with a small game or two You quickly assimilate the perfectly calibrated gameplay of all the compartments of the game. And so, besides large baseball lovers, a player Lambda can take pleasure in handling the bat or put on the gloves. _Test directed by Bardiel Wyld on PlayStation 5 from a version provided by the publisher.
