Knight, thanks for the feedback. It's a great time to be a baseball gamer! This is the only series where I feel confident year in and year out that I'll be content with the product that is given to me.
I saw a thread a few days ago about how much would you be willing to pay for a new game, and one of the options was $120. Well, MLB: The Show is the lone example in sports gaming of a game that is worth $120 to me.
