MLB 10 News Post

Just to keep everyone up to date on the whereabouts of the MLB '10: The Show demo. Thanks for the confirmation Chris.

"I am not sure what purpose would be served by misleading you. We said there will be a demo....and there will be a demo. The simple fact is....The demo HAS been completed....the demo HAS been submitted for approval and posting. We, as devs of the game, have absolutely ZERO control as to when it gets approved or posted."

*UPDATE: From one of the admins at The Show Community.

I played the demo again at Best Buy today and I am content on waiting until it's released. It's not a big deal to me as I still like 09 a lot. The game is very similar but with better ball physics, camera angles and animations. Plus the added stuff we already know about. It is obvious though that the reason we aren't playing the demo is due to the best buy having the game exclusively to show off. Is it really that hard to understand?

And I did not even quote you....I quoted Countryboy, who said I was suggesting they were lying to us....

Anyway. Sony should be confident in their product enough to release a demo ahead of time, rather than after the game comes out, which seems like a waste of time. I bet they get more fans if they release the demo a week or so before the game releases, then they would releasing the demo after the game comes out even if it means minor tweaks look better.

First...The Show wouldn't be the first game to launch a demo after the retail version has dropped. Uncharted 2 anyone? I'm certain Sony was confident in that game.

Second...you have to understand that a demo is released for those who are not 100% sure if they are buying the game or not. The demo's purpose is to bring in extra dollars/sales. Its true intention and reason isn't for us, who are diehard fanatics who are buying the game regardless, to get a chance to play the game before it releases.

I understand what everybody is saying on both sides, but I feel everyone is missing one simple part of the equation. This is our crack, specifically my crack, I have been using this 09 crack all year. Now someone is offering me new crack for 10. I must have my crack and I need a sample of the new crack to tide me over until I can get my full fix. I think everybody getting grumpy over the demo is that they just need a fix. Detox sucks and we all just need a fix to get through it.

Thanks for the heads up. Guys, it's a (great) video game, c'mon. I'm as upset as the rest of you that there is no demo prior to release, but I am pretty sure life will go on. If you are on the fence as to whether to buy, rent 09, go to Best Buy and play the demo, or buy MLB 10, and if you don't like it, sell it on eBay or craigslist.

You are 100% correct. It's speaks volumes for this game that although we are definitely buying it, we still want a demo.

With this company's track record, the demo would have been a bonus, but I know the game is that good. So I have no worries about this game. Bring on tuesday.

Digital Crack

A game, web site or electronic device that one becomes obsessed with the use of. For a while, it becomes impossible to put down and you may suffer withdrawal if you have to go without it for any length of time.

Then there IS a need for a demo

to get more new customers rather than attracting old ones who are familiar with The Show.


...sometimes you gotta think about people who haven't play it rather than yourself.

Goodness, that is funny

I've been wanting to play the demo to mainly see the realtime presentation and lighting. It's not a giant deal to me, but I was lookin' forward to the demo being released for the past 3 weeks because I remember Ramone saying to expect the demo around the same time as last year. Like I said, it's not a big deal. I just feel misinformed.
