MLB The Show Mobile is now available for iOS via App Store and Android via Google Play worldwide, publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer San Diego Studio announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Sony Interactive Entertainment:
Clutch Gameplay on Your Phone
We spent 20 years developing best-in-class console baseball and reimagined the experience for mobile, a whole new way to play. Hitting, pitching, and big baseball moments are at the center of the experience, with touch controls and vertical gameplay built for on-the-go action, so it’s easy to pick up and play.
That means quick action, precise controls, and an authentic MLB baseball experience that only The Show can bring you.
Whether you have a few minutes waiting in line for your Dodger Dog or a long ride on the Metro-North’s Hudson Line to Yankee Stadium, you can jump in and play real baseball on the go no matter where you are. This is MLB The Show on your phone.
A New Way to Play
MLB The Show Mobile brings a changeup to baseball strategy. At the start of each game, your squad is shuffled into a deck. You start by drawing four player cards. Before each at-bat, choose which cards to use; after each at-bat, draw one more card. Each card has a Momentum cost. You start with 10 Momentum, so timing matters when you use your best players.
You can earn Momentum back with big plays at the plate and in the field, so every choice counts.
Some cards also have special abilities. They can help you earn additional Momentum, boost other players in your deck, or make things tougher on your opponent.
This is baseball strategy in a whole new form. You’re not just building a lineup, you’re building a deck, making impactful choices every at-bat, and finding smart ways to win.
So Many Options for Big Baseball Fun
MLB The Show Mobile is built for fast play with multiple options for earning player cards based on your preferences, including:
- Moments – Moments feature fast-paced, scenario-based challenges that let you recreate iconic plays from baseball history or specific stat-based tasks for you to complete. Moments are great when you want quick action for quick rewards. Step in, finish the challenge, grab your rewards, and move on to the next big Moment.
- Head-to-Head – Head-to-head lets you compete with other players in turn-based baseball minigames. The player with the highest score wins. It is a fast and fun way to test your team against other players, even when you’re not playing at the exact same time.
- Seasons – Seasons consist of 3-inning games spread across a map for you to explore. As you play, you can find extra rewards along the way. That adds more reasons to keep moving, keep winning, and keep improving your squad.
- MLB The Show Mobile Community Marketplace – Buy and sell player cards with other MLB The Show Mobile fans. If you are looking for a card that fits your team, this is another way to find it. If you have something another fan wants, you can make a move there, too. The Community Marketplace gives you even more control over how you build your squad.
