    I agree with you DDW. This game is one step away from sports greatness if they can spruce up the fielding a bit and then give the presentation that much needed overhaul. The commentary still bugs me in '11, but I have not played that much yet. It still has that dry feeling and it needs something more.
    The Fielding is really my only gripe (base running to a lesser degree). Find the same issues you do with guys falling in the outfield allowing singles to turn into doubles and triples, being able to have the right fielder chosen once the ball is hit sometimes is clunky. That is why I use auto fielding. Looks amazing, and purely ratings based.

    Everything else is just amazing and this is GOAT along with NBA 2K11!!!!

    Gentleman we have reached the pinnacle of sports gaming for baseball and basketball thus far. No doubt.

When will the show Improve presentation?
      It is not the same game as last year, and don't be delusional.

        I find it pretty much the same game. I'm not a fan of the analog hitting and pitching, it feels to me it takes out the stats of each player and makes it a video game timing exercise. Just my opinion! I am an old school MLB fan so I like the inclusion of the Legends especially that you could bunch them in with the other players during a franchise mode. Anyone still playing The Show 10 I have a roster available loaded with well researched stats for tons of Hall of Famer's go on line and download the roster "60's 70's 80's 90's" The show 11 excludes them, I have read somewhere that they lost the license to the the HOF players, UGH!!!! At least you still have the flexibility to edit the HOF players into the game along with their names announced.
        There has to be a way they the programmers can include a carryover of a franchise file from the previous version! **** High Heat did it over 10 years ago!
        The hit variety seem so much better in RTTS than while playing the game, is it just me?
        That's my biggest complaint the hit's seem limited in scope! Still not enough variety!
        Another addition that would be cool: since you are able to record player/team specific chants why not give you the ability to have you be able to record an announcement of a players name (also include this in franchise mode) I am a long time Met fan It would be cool to create Daryl Strawberry in the game and have his name announced instead of number 18. I'm tired of using "Stansberry"(close as I could get!)as his last name!!!
        Other than that the game sucks me in every year! Just don't sit on your laurel's and go Madden on me (that's another story that game still pales in comparison to NFL 2k5)!!!

            I think your caps lock is stuck!

            And this can not happen at this time. MLB won't allow it.

              Has anyone else noticed the ball looking kind of gray, or almost see through when it's in the field, rolling along the grass, or being tossed around by the players? I played a few innings at my local Best Buy and noticed this right away. It almost blinks as it's spinning. It should be solid white. Very weird as well as disappointing for me. I've played The Show for the past three years and never noticed anything like this.

                  That is because BB has it hooked up to a 3DTV and did not turn 3D off in the in game menu. I had to turn it off on the set I seen it on when I was in there to buy the game.

                    I too turned off the 3-D setting when I began to play at Best Buy, I initially thought it was a cruddy TV, it was a Sony, or that I was seriously *drunk until I remembered having heard about this years game having 3-D in it. So I quickly turned the 3-D off and then played my few innings. And then this is where I had a hard time seeing the ball in the field, or when it was being tossed around. It looked fine during the pitcher/batter due,l but like I've said, it seemed to be blinking otherwise. Oh well, maybe I'll head back to BB look again. *It wasn't the booze, haven't had any in a while.

                      Could be just their set up. Something was wrong. Because that definitely does not happen here, nor did it happen on the Sony 3D set saw at BB.
