This edition in the MLB the Show series uses a new "Pure Analog Control System" for hitting, pitching, and throwing, designed to add more precision and accuracy. Pure Hitting allows you to stride and swing using the Right Analog stick, Pure Pitching incorporates a new Pitch Meter when setting strength and location, and Pure Throwing can be used to make defensive throws by simply pointing the Right Analog stick in the direction of the base, also allowing for fake throws. There's a co-op mode for four-players offline or online cooperative play, letting you split duties covering either infield or outfield, while also switching off at the plate.
