MLB 11: The Show

Info. starting to come out on the next version of the best damn sports game there is. Cannot wait for this.

http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/vide...more=fullstory

Some notable items from the article: analog controls added this year (not sure I will use them though) and rain has been added this year.

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

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:
It's similar to how I felt the first time I saw "NBA 2K11" -- sometimes you just get that feeling that you're playing something special...
then I'll be one happy camper.

Re: MLB 11: The Show

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

Re: MLB 11: The Show

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

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

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.
