As you can notice from the table it’s hard to say whether Captain’s Edition or Deluxe Edition is better. The choice will be up to you. If you like more in-game rewards and power-ups our advice is to go for Deluxe Edition. On the other hand, if you are an old-school baseball fan that likes to have physical memorabilia on your desk or shelf, then Captain’s Edition is for you.

Moreover, this year’s edition of MLB The Show is featuring the legendary Yankee hardcore player Derek Jeter. Our guess is that Yankee fans will be the ones grabbing the Captain’s Edition of the game without any regrets or second thoughts.
