Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I have to say, I enjoyed the pitching in MLB the Show 10, but I could not hit to save my life, and made me play the career mode more or less exclusively as a pitcher.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

It took me a long time to get hitting down also. I played probaby 75 games or so before I could start getting consistent hits and scoring runs efficiently.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Pity they didn't mention anything about the new edition being glitch-free. Or at least relatively so.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I think I will pass this year unless they can clean up the glitches and problems. Last years game wasn't broken by any means but fuck if they can't get the best baseball game right.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Ill be picking this up day one, but if we do a league again I won't be playing unless the lag issue is fixed..

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I might skip this, too. Too many bugs and weirdness in the last one. Sad, too, since this is pretty much the only reason I'd even play a game on my PS3.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I pray they don't screw this up. Sometimes, in an effort to avoid the "charging $60 for what basically amounts to a roster update" accusation, companies end up changing too much. I don't really care about the analog controls, as long as the old controls are still there, but I'll take a wait and see attitude to how Road to the Show works now. I liked the "dynamic goals" of the old system.

Anyway, if this even comes close to being true:
then I'll be one happy camper.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Move support?

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

It sounds like it's just for Home Run Derby.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Damnit, you beat me to it. I've made the last 3 Show threads :(

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Sorry about that bro, didn't intend to steal your thunder.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

:lol:

It's all good.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

S.o.l.d.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

This will be mine.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I'm thinking I might need a new controller sooner or later!

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Yes yes and yes! :thumbsup:

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

This and Skyrim are my two must haves for this year.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I think I'd buy the controller regardless of whether or not I bought the game.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Ditto.

They need to fix the game if I'm going to buy it next year. Screw graphic upgrades and having "catcher cam" views if the core mechanics are broken.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

That controller and the game will be mine Day 1

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

That controller is nice. May have to pick it up.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I think the demo is supposed to be released today.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Love that controller I'm definitely going to pick one up right away. I may get a copy of The Show 2011 too, but not necessarily right away since I hate paying full price for sports games when they always drop so fast.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

It's already up on PSN.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Yea, it showed up after I posted that. So, today.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

It is one big file, which equals a long, slow download. May not get to it until tomorrow........

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I hate the new analogue controls. It's also annoying that the demo defaults to them but the instructions only detail the old button based control scheme. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't even pitch, or field, or bat... Just annoying.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

Yeah - not a big fan of the controls, plus a quick demo of the new controls would've been nice before putting me up on the mound right away. The first three batters all reached base safely on weak grounders because I was slow to figure out how to throw the ball, and when I did, I put it in the stands.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

No reason to change my way of playing at this point. I'll obviously be saving the options accordingly.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I might pick this year's release up. I haven't bought it since '08, I believe. Baseball games are a lot of fun - problem is I hardly ever get playing them. I'd like to see another Bigs game as well.

Can't wait until the Blue Jays start their spring training games and eventually the regular season.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I can't hit a lick on the demo. Only way not to bunt that I can figure out is down and then up........ I strike out all the time. Got the pitching down pretty well though.

So free 30 days is ONLY available through a preorder because the code comes via email? That stinks. I want to wait and see what the week of release sales will be. I suppose I could preorder from bestbuy and then get a price adjustment when/if its cheaper. Wonder how that works with the code since you get 45 days to return it if you're silver (30 if you're not) and you use the code and return the game? I want the game anyway, I just don't want to pay 60 for it.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

The analog pitching isn't too bad but no way I use it for the hitting.

Still kind of miffed Mauer got the cover two years in a row. Not that I dislike him, but he didn't even have that great of a season in 2010. Sure they could have picked someone new.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I went ahead a pre-ordered it. The 30 days of MLB.tv pushed me over the edge.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

I see the controller is $54.99... I want this but there's no way I can justify that price for a white controller with some pad printed baseball stitching on it.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

question: are we allowed to change the controls back to the button layout, or is the analog stick method the only way to play now?

I'm seriously thinking of buying a PS3, mainly for this game franchise.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

You can use the old control method or the analog stick. The game just defaults to analog, I believe.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

It's worth it.

Re: MLB 11: The Show
 

As a FYI, Kmart is having a deal next week where MLB 11: The Show is free if you buy a 160GB PS3 at the same time.


So I'm torn between pre-ordering this and getting the month of MLB.TV for free (a $19.99 value) or just buying this from KMart, getting the instant $15 in SYWR points for buying the game only, and then just buying the full season of MLB.TV instead.
