With MLB 11 The Show, we’ve built upon our improvements to the realism by including stadium-specific jumbotrons, true-to-life out-of-town scoreboards, and weather effects such as rain and new improved skies and cloud coverage.
In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.

Gamestop has better deals than this piece of crap list. It has team Ico collection for 20 bucks with all the other games on the list but cheaper. Hell motorstorm is like 3 bucks on gamestop while here its 20
The sports genre might be one of the most underrated categories in all of gaming. Sure, they suffer from a yearly release schedule that makes the previous entries obsolete, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t games worth remembering. - PSLS
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee and its sequel are awesomely fun games. It's a shame no one plays online anymore :(
They're a great tune-up for World Invitational though, which will be a Vita launch game~
I am still playing MLB 10 The Show even though I have MLB 11 for my PSP.
Not being able to transfer your RTTS players from one year's version to the next has always been a handcuff for me.
I'm in my 10th year as a right fielder and am on my way to the Hall of Fame. Why would I want to start another guy before I'm immortalized in the HoF with my current guy?
I am personally not a huge baseball person, but I really appreciate how much detail and attention that is put into this series. I would really like to see what Sony could do with other sports. I can't see them trying to pull from Madden, but I would definitely like to see a hockey game or something.
I am a baseball fan so may be a bit biased, but I can honestly say I have never played a better series of sports titles that The Show.
I am only sorry that I have to import it so end up waiting for a few weeks after its released in the US
I agree 100 percent with LoveSpuds. The detail, animations, gameplay, graphics, just about everything is awesome in TheShow. My favorite sports franchise, one of the main reasons I purchased a PS3 a few years ago.
as a person that has played many baseball games and overall sports games...
I am looking forward to this because for one I'm about to get a PS3... but for two while 2K11 I'm sure will be better from last year. the state I live in can't compete for the 1 million prize... either way it doesn't matter.
I've read and heard so many good things overall about The Show as a series. so I'm looking forward to picking it up.
