Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I was all excited about the Challenge of the Week until they threw in that 25 cent per try bit at the end. Sony sure likes their microtransactions, don't they? Anyway, it looks like a very solid game this year. I'm probably getting it. Wish I needed a new PS3 because that Kmart deal is smoking, but sadly I need a second 360 instead.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

My order from Amazon said it wouldn't arrive until 3/10, but it shipped out tonight and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! :D

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Just preordered mine tonight from Best Buy to get in on the code. Probably be a week before I get it........ should have planned better and preordered it earlier, might have got it a bit sooner. Oh well, live and learn.......

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Anyone get their code yet? It just says it will come via email on the Best Buy site. Just wondering how long until it comes.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

And now.... Amazon has matched Best Buy's offer. $50 credit with purchase of 160GB PS3.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

You do get 1 free try per week. That's weak sauce though... why even bother with quarter-ing their fan base to death?

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I'd be interested in potentially reforming the league this year if we get enough interest. I know last year had its problems but I really had a blast playing in this league.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Very pumped for this year's game. I might not be picking it up til the weekend when I have more time, but I will get alot of hours in Saturday, that is for sure.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Sold!

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

The trophy list looks pretty shitty this year.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Newegg has the game for $49.99 shipped, if you are a subscriber to the email they send out for deals. It's in the Mardi Gras message; click on "See All Deals" and scroll down.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Cool NYT article on the work San Diego Studios did with a disabled gamer to make this game more accessable and playable for those with physical disabilities. : link

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

This is the first time in at least four years I haven't bought this on day one. Not enough time this year with the baby. Let us all know how you guys like the game.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

:doh:

Must resist The Show. You look so pretty... like such a perfect simulation... Road to the Show, you are such a great game format... must resist... will only be disappointed with all the annoying bugs and glitches and stupid manager crap in RTTS... remember, you always sell this after a month... it's just not worth it...

ALRIGHT. ONE MORE TIME. I'LL ONLY BE SUCKERED INTO YOUR WEB THIS ONE... MORE... TIME.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Dude, you sound just like me!! I can't believe I'm doing this again... but I'll be at Kmart after work getting my yearly fix... only to be disappointed (I hope not).

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Baseball games are evil. I want to buy them just because it's a sign that winter is almost over. But I never play through even 1 full season before I put them down.

I played the PS3 demo in 3D and it's damn tempting this year. I was able to resist the urge last year.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Yes! I knew I could wear you down eventually! ;)

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

But I just want The Show to know that if I didn't have KMart credit I wouldn't be cracking so easily this year.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Geez. Where are the reviews already? I'd love for someone to talk me out of this trip to KMart.

You'll love

* Looks and plays beautifully
* RTTS has some upgrades
* Move-based HR Derby

You'll hate

* RTTS load times are brutal
* Hitting is still really tough
* Starting to feel a bit stale

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

There's still only 4 though. And only one of those is worth a damn.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I guess "plays beautifully" is the most important thing... but comments like "starting to feel a bit stale" is alarming. F it... I'm still buying this but I'm NOT buying next years unless some major rework takes place.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Nick Crush, where are you dude? You should have had a half season in RTTS complete and half the bugs identified :lol:

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

ugh, last year was my first time playing the series and I dumped it after about a week because of the hitting. I'll be passing on it this year.
