MLB: The Show 16 reinvigorates a series that is well past its pitch count

Last year, I said that I would probably just stop playing MLB: The Show if I didn’t have to review it every year.

It’s not that the series has suddenly become bad, but (like a lot of franchises that stick to a yearly release schedule) the whole thing was beginning to feel tired. I knew it was technically impressive and that the mechanics were solid, but it was starting to feel like I had been playing the same game for years.
