MLB 10: The Show
Decided to pick this up this afternoon. I'd only had 09 for a couple of months, but the game was basically free. May as well make the upgrade.
Gonna get into it this evening. ![]() |

There was a screenshot somewhere of Jason Bay chasing after a ball that had been hit into the gap at Citi Field.
I thought it was pretty symbolic and hilarious. ROFL Mets. |

Hmm, wondering whether or not to use the live roster updates before I start my season. Problem with doing that is I really don't want to go online with my PS3 and risk having it fuck up like all those other systems.
For that reason, I'm really glad they added the ability to change any team's roster, force people to the DL, force signings, etc. so you can manually keep your rosters accurate without even having to go online. Nifty feature. |

That problem is fixed though, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Wanna pick this up in a couple weeks or so. Possibly GameFly it. |

lol was reading a Yanks' fan review of the game. Said when he played the Yanks' home opener the crowd gave Matsui a huge cheer. Then he hit a HR and everybody booed.

They also apparently have even more cool details in there, like the breast cancer awareness game where everybody uses pink bats. Awesome.

Started RTTS in this. Catcher control is pretty cool unless you have a terrible pitcher. I'll probably start franchise mode later tonight.

Picked this up today, my first PS3 game. Looks beautiful, but haven't gotten to play it much yet. It sure would be nice to not "have a life" sometimes.

I don't know what it is, but the actual in-game graphics don't seem as impressive early on. I mean, it says the recommended PS3 resolution is 720, but I can't help but feel like that would be a bit silly because I have a 1080 TV, and 09 The Show looked fine on the 1080 setting.
Gonna have to change it up and see. |

Yeahhhhhhhhh I definitely have to wait to start Franchise. Player potential ratings are completely fucked up, and it's going to be fixed in the next roster update.
LOADS of star players have low potential ratings that cause them to sharply decline every single year, even when they are really young. Wright and Reyes both have F ratings and so they lose like 6-10 points in overall rating points every year, which makes no sense. I'll just dick around in RTTS until then |

Everything about this game moves so much better than the 2K series. Don't know why it took me so long to make the cross over. The navigation is much easier, the frame rate, and it doesn't stop, slow down, or glitch like 2K always does.

What are the improvements over 09? Does it still have custom music, yells and chants? Why should I get rid of MLB 09 over this?

Has anybody gotten anything about an update for this today? I'm downloading it now, but it's taking forever. Is it worth the upgrade?

Yeah I'm downloading it as well. Apparently there's also the first roster update. Really hope it fixed player potential cause I'm chomping at the bit to get Franchise going but I can't until that's fixed.

Word going around is that the Potential problem will be fixed in Monday's roster update. Nice.
I'll still have to tweak the Mets roster a bit (guys who didn't appear in a big league game in 2009 can't be in the next year's game, at least not until the 2010 season starts and they play...so I have to create Ryota Igarashi out of one of the minor leaguers). |

I've heard a lot of people griping about the hitting this year. Haven't really done any hitting though as I rarely play exhibition games and I'm saving my franchise for the potential-fixing update on Monday. I'll play some spring training games to get acquainted to it.
In the meantime I'm doing a career as a closer as it's the quickest way to get through the mode. Began in AA, pitched a few games in set-up relief and then was closing by the end of April. Made the AA All Star team and wound up converting 44 out of 46 save chances on the year with a sub-1 ERA and WHIP. Picked up a save in the playoffs before my team was knocked out. Pretty fun. The AI manager can be pretty stubborn at times though, both times I blew the save I was pulled as soon as the tying run crossed the plate, didn't even give me a chance to get out of it with a tie. Gonna be the AAA set-up man to start 2011, unfortunately though I was drafted by the Red Sox so I'm gonna be stuck behind Papelbon unless I get traded.

New rosters are up, potentials are fixed. Gonna start up franchise once I get home.
Apparently there are still some glitches in Franchise (mainly involving ridiculous trades going on around the league) but whatever, I'll pretend all the GMs are on acid or something. |

Ah gee. I'm only halfway through my 09 season. Is this worth the upgrade?
Have they fixed up collision detection? pretty much only thing I can think of |

All of that is still in the game. In fact this year you can assign up to three walkup songs/reliever entry songs (not sure if you could assign that many in last year's game)

Hitting is definitely a lot harder this year. But I was eager to get out of ST and start the season so I'll do what I did last year and start off low and tweak the settings as I get better.
Still, I was getting shut out by Josh Johnson on Opening Day and the manager left him into the 8th inning with over 100 pitches before finally pulling him when I got some guys on base. Was down 2-0 heading into the 9th at which point I rallied and scored 3 to win it with Jason Bay getting the game-winning hit in his Mets debut. ![]() I had like 12/13 hits but only one for extra bases. Gotta do some more tweaking. |

Franchise supposedly freezes at some points, which is the main thing the patch is going to fix. However, it's not a lock that your game will freeze so I'm going to hope for the best. Trade logic is also a bit messed up but that honestly doesn't bother me much, I like seeing players move teams.
Anyway, the detail is incredible. Basically every single player on the Mets looks spot on, even their young guys like Fernando Martinez, Jon Niese, and Nick Evans. Wish I could face morph worth a crap so I could make some of their real-life minor leaguers. |

As is the case with every Show game, Comeback AI is in full effect. There are some games you pretty much WILL lose no matter what. Prolonged winning streaks are hard to come by, and relievers who have hot stretches will eventually get blown up even when you hit your spots.
While I appreciate how it simulates real baseball, it's annoying to spend an hour playing a game only to lose it at the end in circumstances that are pretty much beyond your control. |

Just wanted to play a short game earlier, so set up a three inning game against the Royals. With the Twins, I was down by 1, and tied it in the bottom of the third. Wound up going all the way to the 11th when Mauer hit a walkoff homerun. So much for a short game.
