MLB '10: The Show Review

[teebee]

weak review; prob the lowest score in the universe for this near perfect game

[lewski19]

i still have it on pc and play it, if the show had its franchise mode the show would be hands down the best baseball game ever. in MVP 05 you get control of MLB, AAA, AA, A (and its a full 24 or 25 man roster and you can play the games) So when you draft guys they played rookie ball aka A ball and moved up. Its rare a real life pitcher throws the ball exactly where he wants it everytime
Im a fan of The Show's meter pitching, i love it. I love how its accurate yet inaccurate.
Pitching is better in The Show. Hell i like the fielding meter in the circle, you have to adapt to it, thats nice.
Batting is better in MVP, the show 09 was the first one i bought and this years game was the first time i actually got a bloop single, mvp did that in 2005.
Again Franchise is waaaay better.
To me MVP is 1A and The show is 1A.5, its that close.
If you have never played it, then dont judge it on videos on youtube. Its a really great game, so is the show. I play both and enjoy both still and MVP 05 is the only game i can still bother playing from last gen, thats how well its held up

i will add one thing that i thought about while playing The Show last night. In MVP there was more reward for getting the count in your favor and for tiring out a pitcher. MVP would let you know occasionally exactly where a hung pitch was going to be, provided you worked the count and tired the pitcher/ guessed correctly, which i liked. in The Show there is very little advantage to working ahead in the count or tiring a pitcher out, bc they almost become more wild and unpredictable as much as they become more likely to hang a ball.

Christian.....why do you say it lacks innovation?? Its baseball...not a lot to innovate. SCEA perfected it in 2008 so theres not much more they can do except to work on the presentation and other small things. I assume when you say it lacks innovation or they play it conservative I'm sure you are wondering why a hit stick isnt in the game or goofy gimmicks like that. This game is perfect the way it is...no reason to try to add silly features when you already have what works. Poor review!!!

1) This belongs in the Bugs and Glitches thread.

2) Workaround here:

It still does not work even with the first patch, and you cannot choose double switch after pinch hitting or while hitting, so the go around is not workable either.

I would have to agree that this was a very poor review as I agree with the reasons stated above.

MLB 10 The Show is a great game a bit more better than MLB 09 but a huge issue into franchise mode give me sometime the desire to start a franchise in the '09 version. I love to spend time with my team to add promotion, if players are happy etc. But in 2010 version, the lineup are mess up after the Spring Training. Every teams lineup and starting rotation are wrong and I think that I'm not alone to don't want to go in every teams to have real lineup and rotation. Also, I like to see score in real time into stadium scoreboard but when you're controlling 30 teams, this feature don't running and I don't want to play a 162 games season without any scores on scoreboard.

Go to the other teams schedule, for example Colorado, play the game, but press simulate, back out, go to another team do the same, back out, then play your game. Presto the scores appear. It takes just a couple minutes if you want to do every team, other than yours.

Can't have it both ways. If you want to control all teams, that means you can play them, otherwise, this is a simple fix.

Even easier...
Go to VIEW TODAY'S GAMES from the schedule....and all the games are listed.
Just sim each one except yours(no backing out...just hit sim)...and viola!

I'm not a baseball fan. But if I ever get a PS3, this will be the first game I'd get for it.

Re: MLB '10: The Show Review

I couldn't find a proper thread for this question and wasn't sure if it deserved it's own thread...

I own mlb 2k10 because I enjoy the using the right analog stick to swing and also to pitch. I haven't played the show in 3 or 4 years and it was for ps2. I'm up to ps3 now but not sure if I should plunk out $60 again for another baseball game...

So I'm curious about the different controller options, is pitching still based on press and hold a button to pitch? or is there an option to use the analog stick to pitch? Same with hitting, is it still 1 button for contact and 1 button for power swing or is there a way to use the analog stick?

I'm thinking about getting the game anyway, but any info would be great

Re: MLB '10: The Show Review

you can do either way. very customizable game. i use buttons personally, but the stick is fun to use every once in a while. so yes, u can use the sticks too for hitting and pitching. mlb 10 the show is the best.
