I was disappointed in last years MLB The Show. Judging from this demo…the disappointment will continue. I agree with xKOROSHIYAX. My catcher dropped pitches directly to him a handful of times for strike 3 and then would throw wild to first. I realize I put to much power behind the throw or whatever but why’s this professional catcher dropping the ball this much to begin with? Not to mention the rediculous random fielding blunders that jus’ seem added for effect. lol @ Oaklandmarines. I noticed Lincecums hair too. Very funny. I never thought I’d say this but it may be time to switch to MLB 2k11. At least I could hit on that demo. kk QQ session over XD

Hey sony I love The Show series and I will never switch. With that said you should foucus on the small things now Tim Lincecum has hair stuck to his head like a ken doll. make each player come to life like realistic 5 o’clock shadows and hair that blows in the wind. You might want to merge with the with the weather channel to produce accurate forecast via the internet.

I give you a 7.5 out of 10 just because it is too much of the same.

tried the demo, after giving up 9 runs in the first trying to learn this throwing method, started getting the hang of it…
as for the hitting, well, lets just say i couldnt get a single hit in the 4 inning demo… game looks and feels great, but lets just say it was the right way to showcase my lack of skills…

Like the idea, absolutely no tutorial in the demo, made it a steep learning curve. Got used to pitching, but hitting I had to switch to the “timing” option.

I always have a little trouble figuring out sports games, but I gotta say, this year’s edition was probably the least user-friendly sports game I’ve ever played. After several minutes of getting nowhere and pitching feebly every BUT in the strike zone, I just gave up. And usually I’m a master locksmith of control schemes. Sure, I could probably have deciphered it all eventually, but it was almost immediately a chore.

And if I can’t get it, the three or so people in my extended family that WOULD like this aren’t going to bother even trying. Bottom line: I just hope your goal isn’t to widen your audience, ’cause then I can’t say you’re doing a very good job.

Finally!! This is EXACTLY the kind of feature I was looking for in a MLB game and here it is. An athletic sport game MUST feature some form of athletic control.

I despise analog controls in sports games. Please don’t make it standard, and always keep the options for both control schemes in future games.
