I often feel weird about listing gameplay and coaching as something I like about a simulation-based sports title, but I do it here with complete confidence. DDS: CBB ’22 sets the stage on-screen with a system that allows you to see the gameplay out in a 2D visual model, and along with the game being visually played out on-screen, the title also offers a bevy of coaching options that happen in -real-time and can have a drastic impact on the outcome of the game at hand. Not a fan of the defensive effort your team is displaying on the court? Make real-time adjustments on the fly. Are you struggling with the performance of your star player during a big game? Introduce him to the bench and bring in that eager backup ready to prove himself. Is the offensive game plan not working as the game plan intended? Change it up and see what approach might change the game’s flow.

MLB The Show 22 BallplayerThe sixth Feature Premiere for MLB The Show 22 was for Ballplayer and Road to the Show. I was interested in this one going into it because Road to the Show and Ballplayer took some lumps last year. Franchise mode got the most heat, but many folks did not like some of the structural changes to RttS and Ballplayer. While most everyone agreed the mode felt stale, how SDS went about updating the various aspects of Road to the Show did not hit the mark for many people. So after the Feature Premiere today, it will be interesting to gauge the response. I will be the first to admit Road to the Show and Ballplayer are the aspects of The Show I use the least, so I’m a bit out of my element here as it relates to gauging these updates because I just don’t have strong feelings on them. That said, I still have some general thoughts on the updates, so let’s jump into things.
