MLB '10: The Show Fact Sheet

[countryboy]

I was re-reading the fact sheet and something struck me that I wanted to share. The reason, I believe, this franchise has taken off the way it has and has become the best damn baseball game to date is simply because these guys only add what is practical to the game of baseball.

Look at the fact sheet and whats been added. No lame gimmick features, no brand spanking new off the wall game mode, no major shakeups of any kind. Everything being added is practical to the game of baseball.

I applaud SCEA for that. Stick to the game of baseball. Stay true to the game and thats all that is needed. Whats the line from Field of Dreams....if you build it, he will come? Well SCEA has built it and here he(baseball fan) comes.

Thank you SCEA for understanding that fans of the game of baseball, want just that in a baseball video game......the game of baseball.

Perfect post CB! I agree totally! All those little details they put into the game add up! You may not notice something they added right away, but when you do it's like "Dam, that is so cool"! I have passed the 300 games played mark and am still seeing things for the first time. Bravo SCEA!

It is baseball. All you need is a stick, ball and Glove and you can play it. That is what is great about The Show. They don't add all that crap not needed.

Superb sentiments, CB.

Maybe your statement will be one of the "rave reviews" in the commercial.

Do you play it straight and advance your career or do you slack off by partying and end up booted from the league? The possibilities are endless! You know I'm joking, right?

Holy **** that was funny.

Exactly, no reason to recreate the wheel. If people aren't blown away by the fact sheet, be happy that you have a choice in which game you buy, if any.

Thank god SCEA doesn't resort to gimmicks.

When you talk person to person with these devs you know that they know what THEY need to do to make this as realistic as possible. They are deeply serious about what they are trying to accomplish and I don' think you need to worry about this game turning into The Sims. Trust me, they don't always listen to the Community Leaders either, lol.

And their product reflects that...

When are you guys heading up there for community day?
