In honor of opening day, today we will be talking the newest installment of MLB: The Show 18. For years, MLB The Show has been the premier video game for baseball lovers around the world. For those who are new to the game, here is what you need to know. This game has many different game modes for you to play both online and offline. The online mode is called Diamond Dynasty, where you create your own 25-man roster from playing cards you can collect by playing the game and also buy with their in-game currency you earn from playing the game, or you can buy with real money. Inside Diamond Dynasty there are different game modes you can play such as conquest, where you try to claim territories from other teams by beating them in three inning games. You can also put your team against other player's teams from around the world in the head-to-head mode. Finally, you have Battle Royale where you draft a 25 man team and put that team to the test against other players. The more you win, the better rewards you get. The offline modes include Franchise mode where you choose a team to become their new general manager and you help build a world championship team. Also, there is "Road to the Show" where you create your own player and you work your way up through the minor leagues to have a shot at becoming a Hall-of-Famer.

Still I eventually find the enormous investment of time and energy required to play these gargantuan games leaves a taste of dissatisfaction and boredom sitting in my mouth like an unwanted salad leaf.
