    So the huge gap between games has been closed dramatically compared to last season.

      Nice review. Even better score. I was afraid with all the hype it would drive it up to a 9.0, 9.5. However, if you flip over the back of the game case you'll notice that the potential of this game is an A.

        hey steve i agree with you on pretty much every aspect of your review. as fluid as the game is this year, sometimes there is a slight pause when like an infielder is getting ready to throw. my main issue with this game is eventhough i have some solid wins under my belt, i have posted on a couple of forums in regards to the computer comeback issue. i can have a 6 run lead into the 6th or 7th inning with my starting pitcher still at a low pitch count & have a hard time holding the lead. it seems like everything goes the computer's way at this point. and a lot of gamers have replied to my posts about this issue.

          Great review...I love the game but have a problem with RTTS...i don't know if it's a glitch or what the deal is but my player's 4SFB velocity is at 99 and the player card says "brings the heat better than anyone" but when actually pitching (in AAA) he only throws 88-91....what's the deal with that?

                I may get a negative response from some but i'm trying to be honest.

                I felt like the review focused on all of the negative rather than any positives or maybe just outweighed, Then it finished with..

                "At the end of the day, MLB 10: The Show is a baseball fan's dream come true. Not only does the game completely capture everything that makes America’s pastime so great, it also has polished up many of the issues that bogged down MLB 09 in my eyes."


                I would be confused as a 1st timer MLB Purchaser. :?

                  Meh. I expect better from Operation Sports reviews ... MLB 10 is the best version of the game to date. The meter pitching is fine and, ultimately, a subjective choice. Plenty of people love this game precisely because it uses MVP-style metered pitching and hitting. I really have not liked analog stick hitting/pitching when I've used it in the 2K games. If SCEA brings that to The Show, I hope they at least give us the option of choosing which interface to use.

                  The important point is The Show remains true to the game. It creates a realistic tribute to baseball that feels and plays real. Feature creep has ruined plenty of other sports franchises as developers cram more and more useless "innovations" just for the sake of having a new bullet point list on the back of the box.

                  Just keep the game realistic, SCEA. No one cares about reinventing the wheel each year or adding nonsense features

                    I think any independent gamer would find it hard to believe this game earned a lesser rating than Madden '10.

                      This review sucks. Where is the mention of home Run Derby? How about the fact that you can create your own custom chants, set music as batter walk up music, reliever entrance music, music when you win games etc...?

                      Where is the mention that there is more variety in hits? I have hit bloopers and balls into gaps that wasn't possible before.

                      What about the fact that when relievers come in you get 8 pitches for warm up pitches?

                      Where is the mention in the improvements to RTTS when it comes to positive results? Things that should have been considered positive results before were not, and now are.

                      Instead of just throwing a crap load of gimmicks (Like MLB 2K games and their crappy analog pitching gimmick), they polished the game. Seems like some people just want change for the sake of change. You don't need to change a whole hell of a lot when you already have the best simulation baseball game there is. If it isn't broken, don't fix it (MLB 2K games have to keep adding stuff to gloss over the fact that the game sucks).

                      MLB 2K games have a whole hell of a lot of glitches as well (Hitting a ball of the green monster where the ball sticks to the wall).

                      MLB 10 may have bugs too, but they get fixed quickly, and are less common. You were way easier on MLB 2K 10, and that game is not even close to being on this games level.

                      Timing meter > gimmicky analog controls

                      The commentary may be repetitive (Hey just like every other sports game), but it still is the best commentary in a baseball game. I love seeing my batter walk up to the plate and be announced as "2nd basemen, Jeremy Gordon" (My name), gives me chills every time.

                        The review is a little absurd. The reviewer is penalizing the game for features it didn't add, rather than reviewing the game for what it is.

                        The bottom line is -- MLB 09 was a 9.5, and MLB 10 is an even better game than that.

                          They really, really, REALLY need to do something about the commentary. It's the worst part of the game right now. Everything is disjointed and there's no chemistry between the 3 cuz they record all their lines seperately. That's just unacceptable now.

                          The game is amazing otherwise. But, we gotta match everything up now. Step it up, SCEA!

                              pretty disappointing review

                              seems like a lot of it was saying why don't they have mechanics from 2k10 but better :-/

                                Wow. Reviews on OS are getting just as bad as any other outlet. I used to use OS more than any other source for their reviews. Ah, the good ole days....
