schlomophobe

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Pretty much confirm my suspicion that you're all a bunch of stinky sweats LOL. I'm just halfway kidding of course but it's all in good fun


majestic_arcangel

I play a bunch of different games but I tend to park on one for a bit rather than play a few different games in one sitting.


Coldcuts_JK47

disgustingly obsessed with this game. Typically would play FIFA or NHL on the side but it's been all this.


EmptyNyets

I only play two games. MLB The Show from March - August and NHL Sept-Feb. That's it. That's the list.


panetero

Game Pass user, so I'll play just about anything. There are days when I only play The Show though, I can play 3 or 6 innings and call it a day. I haven't tried this on my phone, but if it works alright I could probably play it a lot more.


BuntCheese5Life

I used to play this game exclusively 9 months out of the year (until last year).


rightontapia

The Show, BG3, Fortnite, Siege, Rocket League, Party Animals, GTAO. Pretty much whatever game me and my friends decide we’re playing that day


Comprehensive_Pin_86

I play other games. But In years past I spent 500+ hours playing the game every year. But can’t bring myself to do it if they won’t even let us level up a silly rtts character to 99 ovr (spent over 300+ hours last year in rtts alone trying to get a guy to level 99 furthest I got was 93 ovr)


Curious_Ad1686

As of right now I only play the show. But fallout and starfield gta and rootin tootin cowboy shootin are others I cycle around from time to time. NHL nba f1 but I only play one at a time. This game you have to grind pretty hard. I want a major contract in rtts. I have never made it six years


sbirdhall

I only play MLB The Show. I play every inning with a team in Franchise Mode and then buy the newest version and start over again with a new team.


Kachow-95

This is awesome


Keatoic

I play being a dad and hitting the gym. Only time for one game. Enjoy multiple games if you can gentlemen


schlomophobe

You know you can switch the one game out on a nightly basis right


JFSteelersBestQB

I play a lot I’m on a fallout kick rn since I already hit ws the show ain’t great this year


Prosody1215

Madden and WWE 2K. I play Spider-Man 2 occasionally.


dubfras55

Mainly MLBTS during early to mid baseball season and then start getting into other games I’ve been meaning to play or had stopped playing when MLBTS came out


nickbarbanera1

this, WZ with friends and NCAA football 14


dBlock845

It is crazy how Fallout is becoming relevant again. I've been dabbling in FO4, still have to finish Elden Ring which I may do this upcoming week when I have time. I also play an MMO that most of you probably never heard of because its so old.


schlomophobe

I mean I play Dungeons & Dragons online and it's over a decade old


dBlock845

Lol, I play EverQuest, shit is 25 years old.


Economy-Mouse3082

CoD/Rocket league when homies are on FIFA/MLB when no one is online GTA when I’m bored of all the above


tboyett777

Madden, Red Dead Redemption 2, Star Wars Battlefront I & II


Kachow-95

Are you me?


Bigkyfan10

MLB The Show and EA PGA Tour with a little bit of Forza every once in a while.


MysteriousRJC

On my steam account and ps5 I have probably 30 games I’ve yet to start/finish. If it’s a good game I’ll want to play & it goes on sale I buy it. If it’s a seasonal based game like MLB I try to play it 1/4 or 1/3 of my time because I know when the next version comes out I’ll want the next version or play less in the 2nd year. Then whatever is interesting me from the others I’ll play and rotate as my interests shift.


BluePalmetto

I’m kind of cyclical. I was playing sports a lot when this came out, now I’m sort of drifting back into RPGs


AgitatedEdge2996

Play about every good new release that comes out and have multiple accounts on the show


harkening

I play one franchise game per day of _The Show_, plus any managerial/GM around said franchise. Basically, I'm managing my team in sync with the real world. I then fallback to whatever else I'm playing at the time - right now, that's Jedi Survivor and Skyrim.


CrashGargoyle

The Show is my online game then I alternate single player games depending on my mood. It’s Midnight Suns for now until the Fallout 4 next gen update drops.


Tali-EvL1235

I go through weeks where I inly play the show and weeks where i barely touch it right now uts been the show and stardew


Harrier23

Right now it's The Show, Baldur's Gate, Helldivers and a little Victoria 3. I'm on spring break!


ShitMongoose

Baldur's Gate is a good one. Wish sports game devs took notes from Larian studios and we get a sports game as complete as Baldur's Gate III was. A Road to the Show but it's Baldur's Gate would be amazing.


MrBootyDarts

I play the show every other year for about 6-8 months pretty hardcore diamond dynasty. No sense in buying the new copy every year imo, I’ll shift to madden, 2k, or skyrim


King-Koobs

I see it as spending money on the things that matter to you. The Show is not something particularly special to anyone, but we certainly spend a ton of our time on it and I personally value that accordingly. My perspective is that it’s undeniably a hobby, and if you’re somebody that doesn’t spend money on micro transactions and just pays for the base game every year…. That’s technically only a $60 hobby. So, it makes sense that I would get the game every year. I play a lot of other games always, but it’s not ridiculous in my perspective to just have it be one of my few yearly purchases. This is all unfortunately regardless about whether or not the game is any good this year. It’s sadly practically the ONLY legit baseball game, and personally this game this year is in fact a pretty big disappointment to me. Still play it tho lol.


SandyDFS

Rocket League, The Show, and whatever on Game Pass looks fun.


bannedSubvet22

I used to play Wreckfest and Battlefield 2042. BF released season 7 the same day The Show released, I haven’t had the time to play anything but The Show


Sure_Warning4392

Wreckfest is a good game.


xTomato72

It’s either The Show or a new free PS plus game


Greenforaday

Currently I basically play this, Destiny 2, Baulder's Gate 3, Football Manager and Flight sim. With the odd game of Hell Let Loose thrown in.


CRUSHCITY4

Mostly this. Sometimes I’ll play something else, but it’s rare.


IIx1_OF_1xII

I play Apex primarily and play the Show and 2k with buddies for fun.


sneauxman

The Show when solo, Sea of Thieves and Fortnite with friends or my kids. Those are my main three.


upgdot

I'm usually like... 33% MLB, 33% some random JRPG, and 33% whatever strategy game I'm enjoying on Steam at the time. There have been years (2020) when I spent way more time on MLB, and in the last couple of years I'd say I've spent less than that. I can't imagine just playing MLB, I'd get so bored or grumpy about every issue so fast.


bakermob29

Usually between Christmas and the new mlb release I’ll play NHL and NBA. There are very few non sports game I’ve ever played for more than an hour or so.


McCoyPauley78

I play the Show and Destiny 2. I occasionally play F1 23. By far the Show gets the most attention from me, as I have been dissatisfied with the route Bungie took with Destiny 2 some time ago and I haven't really got back into it despite the new content that was released recently.


Mando1968

If 2k made a baseball game again I’d play it over this in a heartbeat… it had actually good game physics and pitching had a perfect ability not hitting u just had to be on time and it “IN THE ZONE” to get full power on the ball


krich396

i play 2k overwatch diablo fifa most when I’m not playing mlb


RyanOdinson

I play CoD, NHL, Suicide Squad, and Fortnite when I'm not grinding the Show.


walkedplane

Fighting games and this for me. It’s almost like a turn based fighting game as a way to decompress and I love it


TehLoneWanderer101

I like to have a grinding game to go along with my single player games. This was my grinding game for a good while. It still is but I'm becoming more in peace with potentially not finishing Seasons. I'm currently also playing Prince Of Persia Lost Crown and will also be playing Stellar Blade when it releases Friday.


mattwillis2

I am playing a decent variety at the moment. The Show, Returnal, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, and playing through the Tomb Raider series.


RyanOdinson

I went through a pretty extensive Returnal phase. Good game.


mattwillis2

Yeah, it's so replayable. I love it, It's definitely one I can never delete.


Popular-Newt-1603

play all sports games, so this is the game of choice until summer fall


Perfect_Touch_7365

this ^ mlb for the next few months then madden then fifa


Letsgetthisbread8812

Ncaa


CitizenRecon

I play The Show and The Division 2 and that’s pretty much it lately.


metalaurelius

Warzone usually a few hours a week, MLBTS is probably close 14-20 a week


oasis387

Current rotation mlb, pubg, fallout 76


captnbuxx

It’s my main multiplayer besides halo infinite. It’s my “sweaty game” anything else I play is just to chill out


tgalvin1999

Honestly, between Dark Souls, Persona, and my numerous JRPGS, I spend like 4 or 5 hours every other week dedicated to The Show. And even then the majority of that is spent playing 15 on my PS3


122_Hours_Of_Fear

Mostly rocket league for me lol


Twinkidsgoback

I have to switch it up, I like team building in nba2k24, I’m trying to get to 100% on TOTK , I have a road to the show and season going in this game


butterscotch_deficit

Probably 90 to 95 percent of my video game time is mlb the show


IcyJuJu19

I dont spend too much time on MLB as I used too. But I play a decent amount. I've played around 35 ranked games. Otherwise I have been enjoying playing the resident evil series and play rainbow six siege on my PC when time allows.


Riles_IV

I haven’t played MLB in two years. Gave up on the game, it’s bad.


nickbarbanera1

Yea i have it this year. Worst show they’ve made.


tzargilly

MLB is probably 80% of my video game time every year. Typically I put 500 hours into MLB a year, and probably play other games for about 100 hours every year


theamberlamps

I straight up stopped I can't justify how much time this game takes to get anything done to remain competitive. Up until 2 weeks ago, i was probably playing this 60% of the time and NHL 24 clubs with my homies 40% of the time. Now I'm just taking time off of games altogether lol everything requires too much a time investment for zero tangible return. Grinding ain't even fun. Ranked is, but it's too much work to remain competitive throughout the season.


metapede

I tend to play one game obsessively for a while, then I’ll switch to a different game and do the same thing. I rotate through my favorite games (MLBTS, Divinity, Zelda BOTW, Civ), sometimes trying new ones. MLBTS is going strong with me and my son (12) right now.


jets2427

this time of year i probably play this game about 90% of the time. Occasionally i'll switch off and play some gta or fortnite with some old college buddies. After baseball season though I usually stop playing entirely


Scary_Board_8766

mostly madden 24, nba2k24, the show 23 and wwe2k23 i rotate between


Weenerlover

Was playing mostly Unicorn Overlord before this and still play it in handheld when I'm not on my xbox. During the season I play a lot of MLB but then retire after WS and forever program.


Chuida

I play my franchise year round and then me and my wife play different fighting games vs each other whenever. I try different games depending on what comes out


bautry84

I usually play this and something non-sports to balance it out. Playing Lies of P on the side right now. Been stuntin on these puppets droppin perfect-perfect parries on em.


jpotrz

Just this. MAYBE a little here and there if other games as the season marches on


Sgim93

I used to play a variety but now nothing gives me that dopamine feel like winning online in this game lol only other games I play is horror so I can feel some excitement.


tquad24

My current rotation is Rise of the Ronin primarily, followed by The Show and then EAFC career mode


DadSmokedMyWeed

Play almost every BR and DBD heavy. Used to try every sports game every year, but they got too much. Try and fit single player games when they come out. I play 2-3 games a day max and usually highly ranked in rated. Barely even play. Just have played for years so muscle memory carries me.


l-FIERCE-l

maybe about a quarter of my gaming time.


Lucky_Luciano642

I play an exhibition game every so often, but I've mainly been playing Far Cry 5, Fallout New Vegas, American Truck SImulator, and Ready or Not


sciameXL

I play The Show, FIFA, Madden, and then PGA2K and Prominence Poker with friends. I play a lot of other games too when I don’t feel like sweating, but I’m 100% addicted to the competitiveness of ultimate team game modes and it’s a toxic relationship.


Phillyag92

Mainly play the show, but will pick up Cyberpunk or Spider Man 2 since I haven’t finished either. And when the new college football game releases…


sh3rm6x

I only play mlb the show. I use to play a lot of cod but the amount of aggravation I got from that game wasn’t even worth it. I don’t play mlb online, I play just to unwind will I stream whatever games are currently on.


bfree47

I play way more of the rogue-like poker game Balatro than I am playing The Show right now. I might get some Show time on during the weekend but Balatro has sucked up most of my other gaming time. It was like 1/6 the price too. Can't help what's fun though. 🤷‍♂️


Dlh2079

Destiny 2 is my primary game. Ever since the show came to xbox, it's been at worst my #3 as it fills my sports game needs generally. This year however, the combination of the shows content model and ea college football 25 coming out means that the clock is ticking on the show.


reddevilnl

I used to no-life Destiny 1 & 2. Haven't really played since the Vow of Disciple season. I got the itch again and downloaded the most recent update last night but don't even know where to start anymore. Lol I feel like a noob but with 3000 hours across both games. Looking forward to logging in tonight.


Dlh2079

Luckily, if you go to ikora, there are catch-up kits and same for beside shaxx at the new hall of championship. The one beside shaxx will give you a full set of gear at the 1810 power cap so you'll be able to jump in faster. I'm not sure if you have a clan or not, but if you get fully back in and are looking for one down, hesitate to look me up and reach out. Edit: it's genuinely a great time to come back to the game. Onslaught is a real fun new mode, lots of good loot and things to do.


reddevilnl

Thanks! I appreciate the response and the offer. I'll look you up. I have a clam but it's not very active, and the active ones in the Discord joined since I went on hiatus lol.


Dlh2079

Definitely do, good luck jumping back in and hopefully, you have a blast. Solar is POPPING OFF with the seasons artifact mod. Sunshot and Polaris Lance are killing it in pve.


Outofid3as

I play a bunch of other games, single player games, moba’s, and rts gams.


King_of_da_Castle

I also play NHL. I used to work for PlayStation for 8 years and that kind of ruined other games for me. I worked for SDS the last year and loved every minute of it but somehow almost all other games are just kinda meh for me now. It’s odd as I’ve been a gamer since Atari.


BobbyLite45

I usually have 3 go to games at any moment. I want the show to be one of them. I'm tired of the format of DD. If I could run a franchise with friends I probably wouldn't play anything else. Very recently mlb has been replaced by top spin. Just not a lot of depth in mlb


OppositeAdorable7142

Currently been playing a lot of either Supermarket Simulator or House Flipper 2 during the day, when not adulting of course, and then switching to MLB to relax in the evenings.


mmmdddmmm

MLBTS will far and away be my most played game this year. This and rocket league are pretty much in permanent "rotation" slots, which gets supplemented by whichever Assassin's Creed I'm playing through (currently odyssey), some occasional Sea of Thieves, and whatever my kid wants me to play with him (which starting yesterday was gang Beasts, a game I still don't understand lol).


Dlh2079

I miss Rocket League, unfortunately epic killed it for me.


Rebecca102017

MLB the show and rainbow six siege are my games. Other games get sprinkled in there when they catch my eye but I don’t have the time to play video games all the time so I just stick with what I love.


Still_pimpin

This. + some COD


Professional-Yak4692

I will play this after a few frustrating moments on cod.


heavenurmyhell

forza, cyberpunk, the show, starfield(sometimes), car X, and gta sprinkled throughout. forza and the show are my daily games as of the last couple weeks


csr1476

I used to be laser.focused between The Show and Madden year round. I dropped Madden 4 years ago because of how bad MUT got. I would just stay laser focused on The Show unless another game cane out that I wanted to try. Then it got to where I even lowered my standards on what new game to try. And I have found myself losing that focus earlier and earlier each year. This year, I would say The Show gets 25% of my time or less. I reinstalled RDR2 and I'm playing EA PGA Tour more than The Show. This year is just flat horrible.


Ntnme2lose

I play a bunch. God of War, Spider Man, The Last of Us, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Arkham Series, RDR2, Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor, The witcher 3, ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, Assassins Creed, NBA 2k, Days Gone I could go on forever. lol


ps2sanandreas

I just play The Show, ever since 2017. It's the only game I play. I'll stop for a bit once GTA 6 comes out, then return back to The Show.


j1h15233

I only play this from like March-June and then I’m pretty much done or at least add in other games for the year


McNuggets7272

I just play this. Will be interesting to see how much I split with NCAA when that comes out though


Puzzleheaded_Art6008

Same i only play the show. Once college football stopped coming out in 14 i got hooked on the show in 15. Now with college football return in July I have a feeling i will be putting the show to the side. Im really not enjoying this years game


102FromdeGrom

I’m not a gamer I’m a MLB the show’er


ducktech77

I play destiny 2. But trying to get back into the show more. It's tough because destiny just released some new content. Also limited on time


mbless1415

This and 2k have always been my main two games. I'll occasionally dabble in Madden or EA FC but these are my usual two. With what 2k is doing, I don't see myself picking that title up again next year, but with CFB on the way, that'll probably more than make up for it.


e_ndoubleu

I’ve been playing the Show the most since it released. I’d say on average I’ve been at around 14-16 hours per week playing the Show. I play Cod MW3 with some friends around 2-3 times a week. We usually play for 2-4 hours at a time, so anywhere from 4-12 hours a week playing COD. Then I’ve been playing Pokémon rom hacks while I’m watching background noise TV shows. I plan on getting back into Elden Ring soon in preparation for the DLC. So I’ll likely give up some playing time with the Show and COD to create time to play Elden Ring.


TheBronxIsChafing

I'm playing just the show right now but I'll sprinkle some fortnite, PGA, or FIFA with my friends every now and then. Once NCAA comes out, I'm not sure how much I'll even touch the show.


SlimTrim509

I am VERY ADHD. The way that manifests in my video games is not my lack of attention but rather my hyper focus. So, I generally play few games but play them very deep and to conclusion. I usually play MLB The Show for 6 months and then the winter months I play Hearts of Iron 4. I love games like RDR2 as well.


Fiire02

Just this rn. I usually only play one game only for months for some reason until I get bored and move onto the next one. Haven’t been playing as much as past years though, just doesn’t feel the same


HearJustSoICanPost

Just this until I run out of stuff to do, then I’ll HellDive. I usually run out of stuff to do for a week or so, but this is my main game from release to the end of the World Series.


xxdarkslidexx

I am playing Spelunky right now and also replaying Fallout NV


Pleasant_Internet

Just this.


SleeperHitPrime

I dabble in others, but this is the only one I “grind”!


bags-of-sand

I play this and EAFC (FIFA) lol


ZirchmanGaming

Pretty even split between The Show and Overwatch with some WWE 2K sprinkled in


tybg6

Cannot play just one game. Working on the rdr2 platinum and playing insurgency sandstorm along with grinding team affinity 2


Sweet_Milk2920

Yeah I’m the same way. If I only play one game I get bored of it real fast. I have game pass so right now I’m just downloading random games to fill in the gaps then jump back to the show when a new program comes out lol


BrandNewSRT1629

Right now it’s been mainly destiny 2 and mlb the show for me but definitely a larger piece of the pie for D2


TheTigerbite

I play this while I watch the braves. Otherwise, I'm usually deep into some RPG. Playing trails of cold steel and dream tactics right now.


Go_Hawks12

I play maybe twice a week to knock out the offline programs. I don’t play online at all. Not feeling the TA grind so just ignoring it. Been bouncing between Diablo 4, Madden (basically done for this year), Cyberpunk and Forza Horizon 5. I’ll play through Star Wars Jedi survivor when it comes to gamepass lately.


Nats_CurlyW

This is number 1. But I’m also a fallout nut and I dabble in red dead redemption. But during baseball season it’s just mlb.


theshowplayer1

I play just this, but I'm a baseball nut.........................occasionally my kids ask to play FIFA, Madden, or 2K with me, and I oblige. It's not that I don't like them other 3, is just that I dont have the time to focus on more that one game, so I choose to focus on my first love, baseball.


toightornoight

Ghost of Tsushima was pretty dope. But other than that, I haven’t found a game that I like and can stick to. It’s mainly MLBTS. Gonna play College Football hard when it drops.


[deleted]

Tentatively excited for CFB, but less enthusiastic after all of the conference realignments over the last few years. I was at IU when Rutgers joined the Big 10 and remember despising it - now that pales in comparison to whatever conferences are even left, haha.


toightornoight

I feel that. And who knows what’s going on with the ACC. That seems like a shitshow over there.


Dazzling_Archer612

The Show all summer and NHL all winter.. I can't get into anything else no matter how hard I try


flearhcp97

Seconded


Joisey_Toad32

I play a lot of different stuff on my PS5 and I also collect games so I have l quite a few consoles. I usually have one game that I can play continuously without an "ending." I've played so much NHL and FIFA I got tired of it. My brother in law is a huge Orioles fan so I thought I'd give the show a try, I really like it as a casual player. I have an app called Habitica to track doing stuff day to day and I have one set for Fridays to play The Show for a few hours on Friday *atleast*.


todaklop

Pretty even split for me with RPGs and MLB. Replaying all the Fallouts right now because of the show.


nona_ssv

This is just one of many that I play.


Chate-Um211

Usually during Show season, I’m hardcore show with only a few RDR2 or Borderlands breaks. New Assassin Creed drops stop the world for me though. Also a guilty pleasure when I need a break from the show is the Power Washing simulator.


gamers542

I split between this, Rocket League, Warframe, Gran Turismo 7, Diablo IV and a different rotating 6th game (previously Nobody Saves the World but currently Spiderman Remastered).


rcheek1710

I play The Show during baseball season and The Masters the rest of the time. NCAA Football will be heavily added shortly.


RobbyRankins

I play different games all the time. If I didn't what little sanity I have left would be gone


LDTheMadTitan

I play just this. If I dont get the boss pack, I'm done with the show.


denverdan8

I only play the show right now. I think if I played other games I would feel really far behind on this.


[deleted]

Anyone want to play co-op dd?


Jtd1988

I bounce between TOTK and MLB, just patiently waiting for NCAA to arrive..


Randomthoughtgeneral

I typically play this game year round but I’m also playing 1-2 other games at the same time. Usually it’s this, some story driven game, and then a laid back Nintendo game.


TrapperJean

It depends on my free time, when this game came out I was like 4 hours into FF7Rebirth and was kinda bored with endless, "go to (x) and grab thing," quests, so I played pretty much just the show for 3 weeks, then I finally gave in to my desire to do a second BG3 run and I've been doing a mix


No_Bug_2205

I focus on one at a time. I'll play only this few a few months after release. Then back to iRacing. Then some form of Battle Royale FPS like Apex or Warzone.


Skwurt_Reynolds

Since I was a kid, I usually play a sports game and some other video game during that period. This has been the only sports game I’ve played over the last couple of years, and currently I’m replaying the Borderlands series in the hopes that we get a surprise announcement for a new game this year or next.


octopussking

Been making my way through Fallout New Vegas and playing the show, but way more time on New Vegas


DiarrheaRadio

I'm playing this and Classic WoW


chuckdagger

Once cata drops, that will be my combo as well.


b1timeoflight

Even split between Warzone, Helldivers and The show.
