    The most realistic sports game ever. Thats all you can say about it. It is sort of fun but sometimes it can get boring. This is made up by all of the game modes and features that this game has to offer like franchise, season, and road to the show, which is when you are a rising mlb star trying to make a team. Overall, This game is alright but it could be better.

    Forget it. This awesome game is a VAST improvement over the already excellent 09 version. X-box owners: read it and weep! The ante on everything from physics to animations to presentation to modes to replays has been. EVERYTHING that was great is better. PLUS lots of new stuff. BUY it NOW.

    Got the game this morning and have been playing it all day. I played the heck out of MLB 09 the Show and this year's offering is measurably better! Love the catcher Road to the Show, HR Derby, and Music flexability.

    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 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

    I have to be honest here,I love basketball and baseball.Nba 2k11 I thought was the best sports game ever and it is true except for Mlb 10 the show.I know the two are completely different games entirely but after playing both for a very long time I will crown this game the king of sports games.This game is utterly amazing in every way possible to the point were now I don't want to play anyI have to be honest here,I love basketball and baseball.Nba 2k11 I thought was the best sports game ever and it is true except for Mlb 10 the show.I know the two are completely different games entirely but after playing both for a very long time I will crown this game the king of sports games.This game is utterly amazing in every way possible to the point were now I don't want to play any of my other baseball games and I have just about every one that has came out on all systems.When I was younger I used to play Hard ball for the commodore 64 and I loved that game but basically this game is so good it has ruined all other baseball games and one that I don't believe will be topped at least in the next five years.Unless Sony has another trick up there sleeve,what a game!… Expand

    The best thing about this game is even if you're not a big baseball fan, (which I'm not, at all) the game is a lot of fun due to all the options and tweaks you can do. For example, Want to change the amount of innings to just 5, 6, or 7 because it starts to get boring after an hour of playing? You can. But then wouldn't the strategy to put in a relief pitcher or pinch hitter be wasted?The best thing about this game is even if you're not a big baseball fan, (which I'm not, at all) the game is a lot of fun due to all the options and tweaks you can do.

But then wouldn't the strategy to put in a relief pitcher or pinch hitter be wasted? Nope! Because you can adjust (and save for later games with your buddies) a pitchers fatigue level so that he'll get tired in the 5th inning instead of the 8th so you're still forced to make a managerial decision. Do you like to try and steal bases when your friend's are pitching but get annoyed at how many failed attempts turn into outs and wonder why even bother? Just turn up the players ability to run just a little bit faster around the bases. The level is up to you. You'll still get called out if you're trying to steal with a slow player but at least your success rate will improve with the faster players to make it a more strategic game. It all depends on how far you want to adjust your options. This, plus all the other reasons why this game is good which you've probably already read about, (graphics, commentary, control, etc) are what makes this game so much fun and exciting. There is no equal to Sony's baseball games. At this point, one could probably find this game for no more than $5 used. It's a definitely....a home run. … Expand

    I still play this game on a regular basis and I got it right when it came out. Heck if you count the show 09 Ive been playing this series for about about 22 months in a row. This was the only reason I wanted a ps3 and Its been totally worth it. Cannot wait for the next version. At least the mets win the WS in my reality.

    Solid game and it's really fun to play franchise mode. It's hard to hit at times if you don't have a stacked team.

    Last original game with legend teams, sadly this has been taken out of the newer games until much more recently and for that reason it adds a lot more depth then the games from 2011 to 2018 in my opinion

    Nothing captures the flavor of Major League Baseball better or in so many ways. Addictive as can be, even for the casual fan.

    While MLB 10 The Show remains the best baseball videogame money can buy, it’s no longer light-years ahead of 2K Sports’ effort. Is it better than MLB 09? Definitely, but not by a wide margin.

    The depth, the possibilities and the realism make this a must have purchase for those interested in baseball. A title that truly rewards those who commit themselves to the game.
