   I will come back and write a more in-depth review of this game once I have established the newer dynamics of MLB 2010: The Show. I will say this, the pitching aspect of this game is virtually the same as last year. The challenge comes on the offensive side. They have definitely made hitting more of an artform on this year’s game as opposed to last year’s version. Basically what I have noticed is you have to absolutely square a ball up to make solid contact. On last year’s this was critical as well, but in this year’s version there is no way you can pull a ball on the outside corner of the plate and expect to get a base knock unless the pitcher just throws you a floater. So far, I have played 4 games, and have yet to win playing on the Legend mode on both the hitting and pitching side of the ball. Like I said, you will not notice a great deal of difference on the pitching side, but the hitting side has definitely become more of a challenge.

   Another thing I am glad they have improved is the trade aspect of the game. Now, the trades are more realistic, and it is much harder to build your team. Right now my lineup for the Florida Marlins is Coghlan, Uggla, Ramirez, Delgado, Cantu, Hunter Pence, Cody Ross, and John Baker. I obtained Hunter Pence by signing Jermaine Dye in free agency and trading him to the Astros. I also signed Delgado, but I have to get into a groove hitting with him. Another neat feature is this year’s version is if you are in the franchise mode and you get tired of playing your home games at your team’s stadium, you can change the location of the game.

   One other aspect of the game that becomes challenging on the offensive side of the ball is the angles the game throws at you once you have made contact. I don’t know how many times I have already made bad baserunning decisions based on some of the angles the game has given me. It definitely makes it frustrating at times, but I think once I get use to some of these different aspects, I will enjoy this game even more. Long live MLB:The Show!

   I’ve only been playing this game for 6 or 8 hours, but I am absolutely blown away.

   My initial impression is that this is the single best sports game I have ever played, and I’ve played a lot of them. The graphics are the best in any sports game to date. It makes the latest Maddens look like PS1 throw away titles. I’ll update this review when I have more to say, but so far: mind blowing.

   (This goes to show what some competition can do for a sports franchise. MLB 10 and MLB 2K10 are both at the top of their game. Then there’s Madden (the lone NFL licensee) which has turned into an absolute joke. NFL, take note. Competition breeds much, much, much better products.)

   for baseball fans this is a game that we all have, I am very happy with the new changes incorporated and the realism of the movements of the players.

   I played the The Show ’09 from March 09 (release date) until August 09 (when Madden came out). Thats more hours of playing time then almost every other game I own, besides Madden. I thought that was the best Baseball game ever. Sony has stepped it up again. If you own a PS3 and want a baseball game, there is only one option.

   MLB The Show 10

   the swings of Pujos, Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder are dead on (just to name a few).

   First let me start of by saying I been playing this game since the ’08 edition and I haven’t look back since. A truly amazing series and it continues this year. Pick up this game if you are a avid or casual baseball fan, you won’t be disappointed.
