Video game developer Sony says that it has set March 5, 2013 as the launch date for the new MLB The Show 2013 baseball simulation, for both the PlayStation 3 home console and for the PlayStation Vita handheld.

The official description from the PlayStation Blog reads: “Other new features include a completely new beginner mode and instructional enhancements that make The Show the best pick-up and play baseball experience available. In addition, the improved Play Now mode streamlines gameplay, for faster and simpler games.”

There are also more options linked to the core game mechanics and a lot of changes to the stadiums that are included in the game.

The team also plans to allow gamers to select the athlete who will grace the cover of MLB The Show 13 starting January.
