This is like saying Football games need to be different. I get tired of throwing to my Wide Receivers. What do you need to change about hitting and pitching. It's just like throwing and catching a football. I get what you're sying, but there shouldn't be anything changed to the Core gameplay. SCEA already has it perfected. 2K's is garbage.

Yeah, yeah...we get it. You don't like the game anymore. You said the same thing last year, over and over again. A game that is released on a yearly schedule is never going to be vastly different from the year before, so I guess you can prepare to be disappointed. Personally, I think the The Show is approaching the status of 'best baseball game I've ever played', so I have no idea why anyone would want wholesale changes just because you think the game is growing stale. I love Frosted Flakes, and they haven't changed that recipe for decades.

This preview got me pretty pumped about the game. I'm looking forward to reading more about it as more info is leaked. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed about the Rule V draft.

How about the new Legend level!!! The legend level should be a great addition to us who thought Hall of Fame was not difficult enough.

MLB The Show is such a great baseball game, many of us bought the PS3 just to play the best video baseball game ever.

One thing I would like to see as a change in RTTS is instead of creating your player and then YOU choosing a team to play for....give us the option to do our training.....set our ratings and then start us in a draft with the other young players.
I always wind up choosing the Mets as my team....even though I'm interested in trying somewhere else.
What can I say...I'm a loyal guy

Or worse running through walls...Collision detection is one of the things that I expected when these sorts of games were developed for the next gen (now current gen) consoles

I said "sensual" and not "sexual," correct?

Maybe it was still the wrong word choice.
