Xbox community meet Coach, MLB The Show’s mascot who just so happens to be a puppet. Coach knows baseball and everyone’s favorite MLB players. We will release new Coach and Fernando Tatis Jr. videos that showcase features of MLB The Show 21 leading up to launch. These fun videos will give you some important nuggets of information about various game improvements, leading up to the more in-depth and future looking (Next-Gen) reveals.
So, for those in the community who are looking for a deeper dive on improvements and new features coming to MLB The Show this year have no fear — we have plenty of content on the horizon for you.
Tailored and Focused Gameplay
Are you new to The Show? Welcome to the party. So you want to learn about gameplay? We have you covered. New in MLB The Show 21 are gameplay styles that allow you to tailor the type of gameplay experience you are looking for at any given moment. Are you looking for a casual experience where you can put up some runs? Or are you looking for a more traditional experience that plays more intense and truer to life? Maybe you want a true test of your skills on the sticks, where your abilities with the controller are paramount.
Tailored gameplay is just the tip of the iceberg. The team has invested significant development time working on other areas of gameplay — our biggest focus being fly ball catches, at the wall catches, (jumping/reaching/rob home runs, crashing in to the wall, etc.), and catches that come off the z axis (if you’re taking a route that’s not exactly perfect), we have a lot of new catches you’ll see play off the axis you’re running. It feels great and we cannot wait for everyone to try it out. For pitching, we’ve introduced a brand-new mechanic… but more about that and the other gameplay improvements in March.
