Here is another article from Kotaku:

Good to hear there will be baseball on the 360. A little surprised on the price if indeed it is a minimal upgrade! We got better value when they packaged NBA 2k with this game last year.

This is great news. I was THIS close to buying a ps3 this week for 170 but the fact that this is likely the last year of the current consoles was eating me inside. Maybe I'm crazy, but I actually enjoy playing MLB 2K12 and the only reason that I quit was because of the silly franchise injury bug. Quite frankly, if all they did was fix the bugs from last year, realign the rosters and the divisions, and make check swinging even remotely close to functional I will gladly buy the game. I'll probably buy it anyways cause I love baseball and its a fun game to play. Regardless of what the insecure killjoys want us to believe, this game is far from "the bigs" and is a welcome addition back for another year before the rest of the competition gets involved.

Different strokes. I've tried playing The Show. Several times. And to me, it's nearly unplayable, while 2K11 and 2K12 have been a lot of fun, and more than just 'playable'.

In the Show the pitch speeds are way too fast, even at 0 (Russel admits that the majority of people they test the game on, have said so as well).
It's incredibly difficult to pick up on what pitch is being delivered, and the CPU is very good even at low levels.
I'm sure several Show fans will say "Wow, this guy stinks if he thinks that way".
Yes, I stink. And I know that practice would help.
But here's the thing. I'm nearly 40, have a wife, 2 active kids, and a 50-hour work week. I have maybe 5 to 6 hours of game playing time during the week.
I don't feel it should be necessary to put in 60 hours in a game in order to enjoy it, or be good at it.
With 2K, I can. Right away.
With Hitters Eye, a higher slider scale and lower settings that are truly easy, I can pick up and play immediately.

The Show deserves it's accolades. But I don't think words like 'unplayable' are warranted with 2k11 or 2K12. Both were very good games that many have enjoyed.

LOL! Can't wait to read this guy's review. Seems he's made his mind up already.

Is that the kind of crap that site puts out. If I owned that outfit he would be fired point blank for writing what amounts to a gossip column.

There is a lot of speculation there but I bet some of it is valid. Time will tell, if the game drops and the Astros are still in the NL we know we are in trouble! LOL
