85/100

The MLB The Show Companion App is an essential utility for any serious Diamond Dynasty player. Rather than being a standalone 'game,' it functions as a high-powered command center for your console experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly the Face Scan, which allows you to project your own likeness onto your Ballplayer with surprising accuracy, bridging the gap between reality and the digital diamond.

Beyond aesthetics, the app shines as a marketplace tool. The ability to flip cards, manage buy/sell orders, and check the latest Community Market trends while away from your PlayStation or Xbox is a game-changer for building a 'God Squad' without spending real money. The interface is clean, and the inclusion of the 'Scouting Report' and latest news keeps you tethered to the live service content cycles. It's a polished, snappy experience that turns your phone into a portable front office.

Dinsun Review

I’m reviewing this as a tool, because that’s what it is. If you aren't playing MLB The Show on console, don't even bother downloading this. But if you are, like I am, it’s a game-changer. Being able to flip cards on the market while I’m on my lunch break is dangerous for my productivity, but great for my Diamond Dynasty team. The interface is surprisingly cleanβ€”better than the console menus in some cases.

The Face Scan feature is hit-or-miss; sometimes you look like a pro, and sometimes you look like a melted candle. But the market functionality is rock solid. It’s a conservative, no-nonsense app that does exactly what it says on the tin. It doesn't try to be a mini-game; it’s just a bridge to your console experience. For what it is, it's excellent, though it obviously lacks any 'fun' factor for someone who doesn't follow baseball.
