News10: "It's already March and that means two things: It's Spring Training in real life and a new MLB video game in my home gaming console.
Still showing love to its most successful console ever, Sony has released MLB 11 The Show onto the PlayStation 2. Sadly, the ten-plus-year-old console is starting to show its age and with what's passing for a finished product it makes one wonder if the dev team just wasn't paying it their full attention."
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.

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?
