Finally... HOME RUN DERBY!

Always a yearly purchase for me. Looking forward to it.

This is a series I'm glad I can finally pick up, now that I own a PS3. Home Run Derby is a huge plus.

You and me both

This is also a first day purchase for me. Hopefully the online lag is fixed.

Much too long to list here but pastapadre has a "fact sheet" list on what is new, or upgraded, this year.

SO glad they left Home Run Derby in this year. That is my favorite mode to play and it never made sense to me why they would have it on the PS2 version but leave it off the version that should be superior (PS3).

Totally! I had forgotten all about it until this thread. Screens look awesome.

Looks like they've made a lot of improvements.

Oh yeah it is going to be all kinds of awesome when I hit my first home run at US Cellular and I see the fireworks.

Only thing I wish they'd add is the ability to import RTTS players from previous versions.

Can you use the headsets when playing online?

I should've traded on MLB 09 before the value went down...oh well.

This will be my return to console baseball for the first time in about 15 years. I think the last console baseball game I owned was Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on the SNES.

I spent years in PC Baseball with the Hardball, High Heat and MVP Baseball franchises. Last year I migrated to the PC version of Major League Baseball 2K10, but now that I have a PS3 the time has come to try out this franchise. I just don't know if I will ever get used to playing without modded stadiums. After so many years of having accurate stadiums with real ads in MVP, it just seems like such a step back going to a closed system like a PS3.

I got rid of it a couple months ago, and it was only worth like $9.

Yea, I just keep all of mine for that very reason.

Hopefully they improve stat tracking with this year's edition.

Count me in as another first time PS3 owner who is more than happy to not have to get that turd that is MLB 2K

Yeah it's not worth $9 to lose access to players I've built for 6 months or more.

Amazon give $10 for MLB 09....I may dump mine. I don't ever see myself going back in time. Typical sports game scenario. I don't mind though.

first post updated with official cover art.

That's a snazzy cover.

I skipped '09, but I'll def pick this one up.

I'm still playing MLB The Show 07 on my PS2 but this one makes me wanna get a PS3.

There has never been a better time to grab a PS3. The Slim rocks, and is finally affordable. I say go for it. You won't regret it

I really hope they finally fixed the online lag. It sounds like they really worked on it. We shall see.
