Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the story and narrative.

The majority of critics praised MLB The Show 24’s Story mode for its rich historical context, engaging narratives, and emotional depth. Reviewers like Atomix, CGMagazine, and COGconnected highlighted the inclusion of the Negro Leagues storyline and Derek Jeter’s career as standout elements, noting how they provide nostalgia and educational value for baseball fans. Game Informer and Push Square emphasized the well-crafted storytelling, particularly the documentary-style Derek Jeter mode and the expansion of the Negro Leagues’ Season 2, which offered "bolder stories" and personal anecdotes. Player 2 and PlayStation Universe commended the franchise’s first-ever focus on women in Road to the Show, calling it a progressive and inspiring addition. These critiques underscored the mode’s ability to blend entertainment with historical significance, making it a compelling experience for both casual fans and enthusiasts. However, some critics pointed out notable flaws. Shacknews and XboxAddict noted that while the storytelling was innovative, the character models and dialogue felt outdated, detracting from immersion. Gaming Age criticized the poor video quality associated with the Storylines mode, which clashed with the otherwise strong narrative content. Additionally, Multiplayer.it and Shacknews acknowledged the historical elements but suggested that the overall storytelling structure still had room for improvement, particularly in terms of technical execution. These critiques highlight a tension between the mode’s ambitious themes and its presentation, though they were less prominent compared to the widespread praise. Despite these criticisms, the consensus among critics was overwhelmingly positive, with most agreeing that MLB The Show 24’s Story mode represents a significant step forward for the franchise. WellPlayed and Worth Playing emphasized the passionate exploration of baseball history through figures like Hank Aaron, Josh Gibson, and Derek Jeter, while GamingTrend and Movies Games and Tech praised its ability to add depth and emotional resonance. While technical and stylistic issues were noted, they did not overshadow the mode’s strengths. The combination of historical storytelling, character-driven narratives, and progressive additions like the female-focused Road to the Show cemented the Story mode as a highlight of the game, reflecting a broader commitment to honoring baseball’s legacy while pushing creative boundaries.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the gameplay mechanics.

The majority of reviewers praised MLB The Show 24’s gameplay for its accessibility, innovation, and depth, highlighting several standout features. Critics like But Why Tho? and CGMagazine emphasized the enhanced Road to the Show mode, which now includes the ability to create female players and integrate the MLB Draft Combine, adding fresh narrative and progression elements. The introduction of Impact Plays—a defensive mechanic involving Quick Time Events (QTEs)—was widely celebrated for injecting excitement into fielding, as noted by Atomix, COGconnected, and God is a Geek. Additionally, GamingTrend and GamersRD highlighted over 400 new animations, improved controls, and immersive DualSense feedback, which elevated the simulation’s realism. The game’s variety of modes, from tutorial-driven accessibility for newcomers (WellPlayed) to robust franchise and Diamond Dynasty experiences (NintendoWorldReport), further underscored its appeal across skill levels. While the gameplay received widespread acclaim, some critics pointed to areas needing refinement. Game Informer noted that the hitting and pitching engines lacked significant innovation compared to past entries, while Push Square and VideoGamer critiqued the defensive mechanics for relying too heavily on QTEs, which could feel repetitive. Shacknews also mentioned that core gameplay might become monotonous over time, despite the added variety. Technical issues on the Nintendo Switch, such as stuttering and glitches (Gaming Age, Nintendo Life), were another concern, though these did not overshadow the game’s overall strengths. Additionally, NintendoWorldReport noted that Road to the Show’s narrative format felt stale despite its new features. Overall, the consensus among critics was overwhelmingly positive, with most agreeing that MLB The Show 24 delivers a polished and engaging baseball experience. The gameplay’s improvements—particularly in defensive mechanics, accessibility, and mode diversity—were seen as major victories, as highlighted by Digital Chumps and MeuPlayStation. While minor criticisms about repetition and technical hiccups existed, they were largely overshadowed by the game’s commitment to realism, innovation, and player customization. Reviewers like Movies Games and Tech and Player 2 emphasized that the gameplay remains a strong contender in the sports genre, balancing depth with approachability. The combination of refined mechanics, new features, and enduring appeal solidified MLB The Show 24 as a standout title for both casual and dedicated baseball fans.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the graphics and visual design.

The Graphics and Visual Design of MLB The Show 24 received widespread praise for its attention to detail and incremental improvements over previous entries. Critics like But Why Tho? highlighted a "much-needed graphical update," noting that new player animations made the game feel more alive and authentic, while COGconnected commended the strong focus on stadiums, uniforms, and era-specific accuracy. Digital Chumps lauded the "unrivaled" realism in player animations and expressions, with small touches like clothing movement enhancing immersion. Game Informer praised updated lighting systems and improved facial details, while GamingTrend and God is a Geek celebrated smoother animations and dynamic presentations, including historical moments that felt visually engaging. These reviews underscore a general sense of progress in capturing the essence of baseball through meticulous visual design. However, several critics pointed out notable shortcomings. Atomix argued that the game’s graphics "show signs of being held back by its multi-generational nature," suggesting they could have been more ambitious given current console capabilities. Push Square criticized dated textures for grass and dirt, while Movies Games and Tech noted subpar sand and grass details and facial designs that fell short of expectations. Shacknews described character models as "stiff" and animations as "awkward," and VideoGamer highlighted bugs like glitches affecting gameplay. Additionally, Gaming Age and Nintendo Life pointed to the Nintendo Switch’s technical limitations, with blurry visuals and performance issues undermining the experience on that platform. These critiques reveal lingering gaps in execution despite overall improvements. The overall consensus among critics is that MLB The Show 24 represents a solid visual upgrade for the franchise, particularly on PS5, but falls short of revolutionary. While But Why Tho? and Game Informer celebrated its authenticity and technical strides, others like Atomix and Push Square felt it underutilized hardware potential. The game’s visuals are generally seen as a step forward, with COGconnected and Digital Chumps emphasizing its immersive qualities, yet many agree there is room for refinement in areas like texture quality, animation fluidity, and cross-platform consistency. For the Switch, the limitations are more pronounced, but on PS5, the game’s presentation remains a strong contender in sports gaming, even if it doesn’t fully meet the high expectations set by its annual release cycle.

The majority of reviewers praised MLB The Show 24’s sound design and music for their immersive qualities and technical execution. Atomix highlighted the "immersive sound design with a diverse soundtrack featuring various genres and artists," while COGconnected lauded its "phenomenal sound design that authentically captures the auditory experience of a baseball game," emphasizing elements like bat cracks, crowd reactions, and commentary by Jon Sciambi and Chris Singleton. Everyeye.it noted the game’s "excellent audio quality" and "impressive 3D audio on PlayStation 5," while Game Informer celebrated the "bold and soulful" music selection, including tracks by Stevie Wonder and A Tribe Called Quest, which they felt complemented gameplay effectively. GamersRD acknowledged realistic stadium sounds and fan chants, alongside improved DualSense controller effects, though they noted a "disappointing soundtrack compared to previous years." Push Square also praised the "superb sound design" and seamless integration with the DualSense, enhancing immersion. However, some critics pointed out notable flaws. MeuPlayStation criticized the lack of localization beyond English, citing repetitive commentary and online connectivity issues that detracted from the audio experience. WellPlayed noted inconsistencies in crowd sounds and music failing to align with on-screen action, particularly during historical segments, which "detracted from the immersive experience." GamersRD echoed concerns about the soundtrack’s quality, suggesting it fell short of expectations. While XboxAddict praised the sound design as "highly rated" for its immersive qualities, these critiques highlight areas where the game’s audio implementation faced challenges, particularly in balancing authenticity with technical polish. Overall, the consensus leans heavily toward positive reception, with critics consistently praising the game’s realistic auditory elements, diverse music selection, and effective use of PlayStation 5’s hardware. While some reviewers, like MeuPlayStation and WellPlayed, raised valid concerns about localization, repetition, and mismatches in audio-visual synchronization, these issues were relatively minor compared to the widespread acclaim for immersion and technical execution. The combination of authentic stadium sounds, engaging voice acting (as noted by Impulsegamer), and a dynamic soundtrack—despite occasional hiccups—solidified MLB The Show 24’s sound design as a standout feature, reflecting its commitment to delivering an immersive baseball experience.

The majority of critics praised the voice acting in MLB The Show 24, particularly highlighting the contributions of Bob Kendrick and Derek Jeter. CGMagazine noted that their narration adds "authenticity to the storylines," while Game Informer commended the "depth" and "historical narratives" enhanced by Kendrick’s work. GamingTrend emphasized Derek Jeter’s "personal touch" in the Storylines mode, and God is a Geek appreciated how Kendrick’s narration "adds to the historical context." WellPlayed and Worth Playing both celebrated Kendrick’s "passion" and "authenticity," framing the voice acting as a key strength that elevates the game’s storytelling. These reviews collectively underscore the success of integrating real-world figures into the narrative, creating an immersive and educational experience for players. However, Shacknews offered a contrasting perspective, pointing out that while the voice acting uses "proper pronouns," the overall execution in narrative moments felt "archaic and awkward." This critique suggests that despite the effort to maintain historical accuracy, the delivery may not fully align with modern expectations of natural dialogue or pacing. While this is the only negative opinion among the reviews, it raises questions about how well the voice acting balances authenticity with contemporary storytelling techniques. Overall, the consensus leans heavily toward praise for the voice acting in MLB The Show 24, particularly its role in enriching the Storylines mode through the contributions of Bob Kendrick and Derek Jeter. Critics like CGMagazine, Game Informer, and Worth Playing highlighted how the narration enhances both the emotional and educational aspects of the game.

The technical performance of MLB The Show 24 varies across platforms, with the PlayStation 5 receiving largely positive feedback. Critics like Game Informer and GamingTrend highlighted stable performance, improved animations, and enhanced consistency, while Movies Games and Tech and Player 2 noted smooth gameplay with no major glitches. Worth Playing acknowledged a "settled-in" feel, emphasizing the addition of new features like Custom Game Entry Conditions in Franchise mode. On the Xbox Series X, Multiplayer.it criticized the lack of innovation, though no other critics provided specific positives for this platform. For the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Life observed that initial technical issues at launch were resolved over time, offering a minor positive note amid broader challenges. Negatively, the PlayStation 5 faced criticism from VideoGamer, which cited bugs like unrealistic player ratings, glitches, and overpowered pitches such as knuckleballs. Everyeye.it also noted repetitive commentary despite the game’s redemption after multi-platform transition challenges. On the Nintendo Switch, Gaming Age and NintendoWorldReport highlighted persistent issues: slow load times, stutters, online connectivity problems in Storylines mode, server instability, and frequent crashes. While Nintendo Life acknowledged that some bugs were fixed, the platform still struggled with sluggish menus and technical limitations compared to previous entries. The Xbox Series X’s lack of innovation, as pointed out by Multiplayer.it, further underscored its underwhelming performance relative to other platforms. Overall, the consensus leans toward the PlayStation 5 being the most technically polished version, with critics like Game Informer and GamingTrend praising its stability and improvements. However, platform-specific issues persist: the Switch faces ongoing technical hurdles despite some fixes, while the Xbox Series X lacks innovation. While VideoGamer and Everyeye.it raised concerns about PS5’s bugs and repetitive elements, these were minor compared to the broader praise for its performance. The mixed reception across platforms reflects a game that excels on some systems but struggles with consistency, particularly on the Switch, where technical limitations overshadow its core mechanics.

COGconnected praises Diamond Dynasty’s improvements, including a cornerstone cards system that encourages varied team-building, and Digital Chumps highlights the addictive nature of Road to the Show and the inclusion of Derek Jeter moments. GamersRD and Push Square also commend the expansion of Diamond Dynasty with new player additions and the RPG elements in Storylines mode, which cater to both solo and online players. These features collectively create a sense of longevity, ensuring players return for fresh challenges and experiences. However, some critics point to minor drawbacks that could limit replayability for certain audiences. VideoGamer notes that repetitive gameplay in Storylines mode might test patience, while MeuPlayStation suggests the game lacks innovation for players seeking major changes. NintendoWorldReport mentions technical issues that could hinder long-term enjoyment, and Shacknews acknowledges that monotonous gameplay persists despite additions like Impact Plays and the Negro Leagues mode. Additionally, while Game Informer and Movies Games and Tech praise the variety of modes, they also hint at predictable mechanics in some areas, such as Franchise Mode’s minimal changes. These critiques suggest that while the game excels in quantity, its quality-of-life improvements and depth may not fully satisfy all players. Despite these reservations, the overall consensus among critics is overwhelmingly positive regarding MLB The Show 24’s replay value. Game Informer and Worth Playing both emphasize the variety of modes—from Diamond Dynasty to Road to the Show—that cater to different player preferences, while Push Square and Impulsegamer highlight how reward systems and microtransaction-free design keep players engaged without frustration. Even critics like Nintendo Life, who note inconsistent online play, acknowledge the game’s comprehensive suite of modes as a strong selling point. The combination of incremental improvements, seasonal updates, and narrative-driven content ensures that MLB The Show 24 remains a compelling experience for baseball fans, with only minor criticisms detracting from its overall appeal.

Critics like CGMagazine and Game Informer also commend the game’s ability to balance familiarity with incremental improvements, making it a “complete baseball package” for fans. Despite these strengths, several critics point out notable drawbacks that prevent MLB The Show 24 from being flawless. Technical issues, particularly on Nintendo Switch, are a recurring concern: Gaming Age and NintendoWorldReport mention performance hiccups, compressed video, and crashes, which detract from the experience. GamersRD criticizes the lack of Spanish commentators and the absence of certain features that could have been implemented earlier, while Multiplayer.it and Shacknews note the game’s reliance on older tech and limited innovation. Additionally, CGMagazine points to menu interface shortcomings, and VideoGamer highlights lingering bugs. These critiques suggest that while the game is technically sound on PS5, it falls short of fully leveraging current-gen capabilities, particularly in terms of graphical fidelity and user experience. Overall, the majority of critics view MLB The Show 24 as a standout entry in the franchise, with Game Informer calling it a “well-rounded package” and Worth Playing hailing it as a “must-play for baseball fans.” Even with its flaws, the game’s strengths—such as its storytelling depth, gameplay refinement, and historical reverence—resonate strongly. Push Square and Digital Chumps argue that the title sets a high bar for sports simulations, while PlayStation Universe likens it to a “walk-off homerun” for fans. While some critics, like Gaming Age, note that the Switch version is a step back, the broader reception underscores that MLB The Show 24 remains a must-have for baseball enthusiasts, offering a compelling blend of tradition and innovation. Its ability to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers ensures its place as one of the year’s best sports games.

TL;DR

MLB The Show 24 is a masterclass in baseball simulation—polished, immersive, and brimming with storytelling depth, historical reverence, and visual splendor. While technical hiccups on Switch and missed opportunities dampen its sheen, it remains a must-play for fans, blending tradition with innovation for a 'walk-off homerun' of a gaming experience.
