Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

I will along with my online league

[zippy2212]

I will be as well. I'm in just finishing up inter league play (June 20) in my original franchise. I play every game so I'll probably finish my season around Thanksgiving, then will continue on to season 2 through out the winter.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

I got this game 29 days ago and it's the only game I've played since (with a the exception of one half of Madden 12), got in close to 50 games. I'll play 4, 5, 6 innings at a time when I get the chance (how great is it to have in-game saves?). I played the other game in the past and always played six-inning games, trying to force myself to enjoy it all the while thinking about how much of a train wreck it was.

Finally, I have an enjoyable baseball game, one that I like playing for nine innings, taking my time, playing at my pace.

To answer your question, yes, I'll be playing this throughout the winter. The real question is, will I be playing anything else?

The plan is play season 2 along with Madden throughout the winter. And if Madden doesn't get the proper patches for offline franchise, then season 2 may become season 2 and 3 of The Show this winter.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

Yeah definitely will be playing the Show over the winter. I'm debating getting NBA 2K13 and/or NCAA 13, but the Show will still get the majority of my gaming time I'm sure. The gameplay in the Show this year is the best it has been so far in my opinion, and I've really enjoyed it. I catch myself thinking about next game's pitching matchups during the day when I'm doing other things haha.

Since it seems i skip years I'm definitely going to be playing my RTTS and franchise with the Mets for a good long while

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

This and NBA 2k are the only games I play all year long.

It's funny - I'm enjoy The Show offline and I would rather play NBA 2K online. Both keep me entertained a full calendar year.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

It's odd but I PREFER to play the Show during the winter. The last few years I start my franchise the day after Christmas.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

I currently have three franchises going on each of The Show '10, '11, and '12. I play every game of every season and also keep my stats each year. I am currently in in June on '12 with my Mets franchise. My PS3 YOD last year four days before the playoffs. My files could not be saved, so I started a new Mets franchise on '11 last year and am currently in September. On '10, I am using Knight's 2000 roster to replay the 2000 season currently at the All-Star Break with the Piazza-led Mets trying to "rewrite" history hopefully against the steroid-filled Yankees (Clemens, Pettitte). So I am pretty set as far as baseball with the Show through the off-season!

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

I might pick up the newer nba games when they come out but i'll play the show still majority of the time


too bad the new gta isn't out yet!!

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

I likely will. It's tough to play during the summer, so I don't get terribly far with the game. I will probably play some Madden the next couple weeks and switch over to the Show and see how far I get.

I have a RTTS guy going, so I'll need to pick a team to be.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

One of the perks of being a Mets fan is that I don't have to worry about being distracted by real life baseball in September and October. :wink:

So yes I will play all winter long.

Re: playing mlb the show throughout the winter?

Once the MLB postseason is over, I'll slowly transition into NHL 13. Come December, the show won't be too big for me and I'll mainly be playing NHL 13 until generally whenever the Sharks are out of the postseason, lol. Then it's time for the show again.
