While development has gone smoothly for MLB The Show 18, it can’t be said that there haven’t been issues. In fact, it’s been very difficult to come up with a box art for the game. Sony just released a hilarious new commercial for the game that spoofs their marketing department. It’s a good laugh at Sony’s yearly baseball game, which will feature a revamped Road to the Show mode, a “major gameplay engine tune up,” and a new player tagging system. The game itself looks quite impressive, and there are over 1,000 new gameplay animations that’ll be in the March 27, 2018 release.
