MLB The Show is no stranger to hosting iconic MLB 18 stubs players--Ken Griffey Jr. has been on the cover only last year--but Babe Ruth has eluded the series up until now. His omission is somewhat like NBA 2K forgetting to add Michael Jordan. So what gives?

The seeds of the Sultan of Swat's exception might be found in a dialogue I had with a member of this development group far back in 2011, shortly after Jordan's iconic look on the cover of NBA 2K11. I asked why they couldn't perform a historical mode with Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio, and they discovered that younger MLB The Show 18 players would not have the ability to contact baseball Buy MLB18 Stubs players that played with nearly 100 years back.

Whatever the reason, Ruth is here now, and the show is richer because of his addition.

Now's best sports matches are all about realism, and MLB The Show 18 is taking veritas yet another notch by introducing Rainy Days into the match.

In real life baseball games, rain delays happen when, well, when it rains. With these serendipitous changes to the atmosphere in mind, San Diego Studios is increasing the real time weather with more diverse weather conditions like fog and improved rain. With that rain, MLB The Show 18 also adds, that's right, rain delays!
