Nice. Thanks for the organized post Steve.

I hope we get a hardcore sheet this year as well!

Oh yeah, you know that is coming. Always huge when they announce the full list of features.

I wonder what other kinds of things have been changed with Home Run Derby. Maybe they'll incorporate a commentary track and progressive lighting to the mix! Maybe their new camera system also has a different flight pattern this time around. Last year it would readjust to the height of where the ball was going to land for a home run, so if you hit a 330 foot shot off the top of the foul pole, it would follow the ball much more appropriately than if you hit a 500 foot shot into McCovey Cove.

I will order today, but I want to order from Amazon.

I do not see any "pre-order MLB.TV" information on there... so I hope we can get confirmation if this is a Gamestop only thing or not. I hope not.

I prefer getting from Amazon over them if I could.

lot of hype for the challenge of the week.
i see that bombing big time.
for sony to not use franchise as a bullet point for the game store ads worries me a bit.
makes me think its just the usual minor upgrades.
it REALLy could use a refresh.

I'd like to see it say: all new franchise!

What do you mean by "refresh"? It is pretty damn deep, tuning needing to be done to logic, yes, but for "refresh" I am confused.

Hey Enigma.
I meant like a reboot of the mode.
Kind of like what they did with Madden on the Wii this year.

Change the menus, clean it up, make it easier to navigate.
add something like a main MLB.com page like 2k with headlines.
make it look like a new mode.

if they can do that and still keep the deepness that it has then i'd really love it, more than i already do.

But instead of layering more little things each year, just reboot the whole look and come at it from a different angle.
So it'd be the same franchise at the core, but not really.

its looked the same for a few years now.

Madden on ps360 did it for 10, changed the look of the whole thing and kept the core franchise experience, faulty as it was.

I didn't explain it as best as I think i could have but i am hungry

Re: MLB 11 The Show: Just a Few Features Mentioned

Oh, you mean like new interface and menu layouts and such!

I am sure there are things on tap with that, and we will see information in the future on it.

Re: MLB 11 The Show: Just a Few Features Mentioned

you know, I never checked in 2010....but I'd love if there was online vs mode for HR derby for Move Players.......since we don't have regular gameplay with the move. I think that would've been cool. Maybe next year.

If anything I would like to see refinement and not a lot added to be honest. If they did that I would be happy.

Do Canadians also qualify for the free MLBTV offer or do we get shafted again like we always do. I remember last year with the free code for the classic stadiums was only available to Americans. Grrrrr!
