'MLB The Show 17' Player Ratings: MLB Ranks Top 50 Players
As "MLB The Show 17" arrives on March 28, gamers are excited to find out who among the players out there are a cut above the rest. Ahead of the release of the PlayStation 4's flagship baseball video game, players have been rated and ranked to show who the best are.
According to reports, the upcoming edition of the game is far more realistic than its predecessor and features more legends. Its cover also comes with a beautiful tribute to recent Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Since the new game features a roster share option that allows players to upload rosters that feature equipment, ratings and visuals, "MLB The Show 17" has become one of the most highly anticipated games today.
