    Like the Mega Drive Maddens of the early '90s, it's a game absolutely worth learning a new sport for. [May 2010, p.108]

    MLB10 The Show is as close as anyone has come to baseball perfection.

    A must buy for any baseball fan. It is up there with some of the best baseball games of all time, and is one that deserves to go on your shelf. Sony literally hit it out of the park this year.

    This is the absolute pinnacle of baseball video gaming, and I dare someone to do better.

    MLB 10: The Show is the closest you’ll ever come to experience playing baseball for a Major League Team. The sheer polish and level of detail mostly overcome the share of problems that hinder it.

    MLB 10 edges very close to being the best console baseball game ever made. But it doesn't quite make it there. It's still great, just not baseball perfection.

    Sony still offers the superior baseball experience, but I actually enjoyed certain aspects of 2K10 a little bit more; unlike last year, this is no Yankees-Royals mismatch.

    feels better than last year. pitches miss where they should. that's the biggest thing i noticed. a late release = low pitch. early = feels better than last year. pitches miss where they should. that's the biggest thing i noticed. a late release = low pitch. early = high. that didn't happen last year. after 2 games, fielding is tough... i mean, my first game, double A... i SHOULDN'T be great, yet. watched my boy play "Catcher Calling the Game" and it worked well... an extra-inning win on a wild pitch while his catcher... was batting (run scored from third)... it was exciting... which baseball rarely is. so, that's a good thing. … Expand

    This game I think is not so good the pitching sucks, where you go to pitch it it doesn't go. Also when you go to hit the ball the best way isThis game I think is not so good the pitching sucks, where you go to pitch it it doesn't go. Also when you go to hit the ball the best way is the power swing which is the square button because when you hit X on good balls they won't swing all the way they stop and strike you out. Also if you have the runners on auto they try to steal the base when t he ball is to close to the catchers and they end up getting you out. Overall this game sucks.… Expand
