Gamedaily has posted their preview of MLB '10: The Show.
"Other small inclusions will add to MLB 10's presentation. A new moviemaker system allows you to save ten customized replays to share with your friends, either locally or through the PlayStation Network. You can edit these clips however you please, from camera angles to running speed. Want a slo-mo effect for your tagged out? You got it. In addition, a custom audio system lets you input your own music selections, fan yells and chants into the game. At last, you can give Todd Helton the same "Wild Thing" entrance music that Charlie Sheen had back when Major League came out in the 90s.
Visual candy and great audio can only do so much with a sports game, though. It has to play well to keep your attention. Fortunately, MLB 10: The Show continues to buck the trend. Along with terrific pitching, batting and fielding options, the game has a much-improved base-running system, where you can pick off stolen bases and manage runners with ease. No more unintended tag-outs (unless you cause them). Practice Drills and Training Modes are also on hand, should you need to work on your curveballs and bunts. The catcher has more direction when it comes to calling the game, just like Joe Mauer, who appears on the cover."
