MLB 10 Reader Review At Gamestop.Com....

[bbondsfan25]

"Here's about 10 things I've found wrong with this game: 1. Repetitive...in ONE game, I had 10 balls caught by someone climbing the wall. 10 Times in ONE GAME??? 2. Still repetitive...in that same game, my CF threw someone out at home plate 5 times... 3. More repetitive...in that same game, I bunted for a single 10 times. And this was on all-star difficulty. 4. Graphics SUCK! Pitchers are bow-legged, the ball comes out of players hands at random times, the swing animations are awful except for HR replays, you can tag someone out even though you never touch them... 5. Commentary...I was the Mets beating the Braves, yet the announcers said the Nationals were looking to tie the game. 6. Game freezes if you try to exit back to PS3 menu and will reset your whole system 7. Trades...I traded Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez for Josh Beckett, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Jon Lester. 8. Fan animations...there's 100 guys in the stands doing the same animation at the same time...looks awful 9. Difficulty...you'll either score 50 runs or get shutout with one hit...there's no in between 10. Attributes...doesn't affect play...pitchers hit HR's, catchers steal bases, etc. Rent it first before you buy!"

I'm planning on picking this game up today. Sounds like this guy is just blindly trashing the game for some reason. Any points in this review valid? The part about attributes at the end concerns me if true.

He is absolutely, unequivocally full of it. There's no need to comment more.

This was in between all his bunt singles.

A real review, agree with a lot of it. However did leave out some of the major changes this year that add that more detail to what is a great game already.

I've only bunt singled with Juan Pierre 1-2 times in this game. Other times, it was a sacrifice. If I can't get a bunt single with Pierre all the time, then one else can with their players either.

I got to his second point and thought that I haven't seen any of those things and stopped.

This is just another classic example of "don't believe everything you read". Because I've played about 10 games of exhibition and franchise and I haven't seen anyone climb the wall and catch the ball yet. Also, I have yet to see the CF throw anyone out at home plate. I have however, seen the CPU bunt for a single but, that was during RTTS and I was the third-baseman so, it was more because of user error.

Word of advice: Don't believe everything you read. Especially if it's a Gamestop reader review because more than likely they have some sort of agenda.

Re: MLB 10 Reader Review At Gamestop.Com....

The only valid concerns you can take out of that pathetic diatribe was that the animations in the stands are a little ridiculous (i.e., you really do see everyone in the stadium with the same character models doing the exact same animations at the same time, which sticks out quite a bit) and the Trade logic has been pretty wonky in the past, although I haven't tested it out this year; however, in the past trades like the one he mentioned were possible, which is annoying. All in all, these things are so minor in comparison with everything that this game does well...

Re: MLB 10 Reader Review At Gamestop.Com....

- I have exactly one bunt single and one robbed HR in about 10 full games of play.

- I notice the difference between players in all aspects of the game

- Have yet to have any freeze of any kind

- The graphics are the best I have ever seen in any game for and console

- I have had scores ranging the spectrum. I have won 9-1, lost 9-6 (bullpen blew it) won 3-1, lost 4-3. Nothing feels fake, everything feels earned.

Well he is right about the commentary, the fans (even though they look great), and trades. But the rest of his review was horrible.

But at him saying the graphics sucks? As opposed to what? Real life? What is this guy smoking. This game is one of the best looking sports games ever.

Re: MLB 10 Reader Review At Gamestop.Com....

His 7th point is valid. This has happened to me on every Show I've owned, '08, '09, and '10. It doesn't happen every time, but like 9 out of 10 times it locks my PS3 up to bring up the XMB and hit quit game. It's not a huge deal, it just locks up and reboots, but it's slightly annoying that this has not worked right in at least 3 seasons.
