MLB 11 The Show: Just a Few Features Mentioned

[Armor and Sword]

I am still playing 2009. And since I play with auto field and auto base running (controls are too clunky for me IMO) I will again stick with 2009 as I will be going into my 3rd year of my Yankees Chise.

I had heard the little things were a nice touch to 2010 but the core gameplay was essentially the same. I am getting that same feeling with 2011. The game will have more graphical polish (although I am still blown away by 2009) and the new analog controls will appeal to those that wanted them. But it won't be enough to get me to purchase 2011. I am sure the game will rock. If indeed I read and hear great things (and I will play the demo) I will wait for a big price cut to even consider a purchase.

The Show 2009 was my first baseball game since MVP 2005 so I intend (and am determined) to get at least 3 solid years out of it.

Stay tuned...

This game will have a huge jump from '10, even bigger than '08 to '09.

Even some of the previews have touched on that.

I'm still holding out for an expansion mode so I can build a team from the ground up, mimicing the exact process new teams go through whenever expansion happens.

I think you're spot on with that predicition.

Didn't get the feeling that the jump from 09 to 10 was all that significant, that's why I skipped the 10-version. But 11 is definitely a must-buy, as I get the impression that we'll see a huge jump from the current version.

It's gonna be great to play with my Sox again, I'm loving the off-season so far.

If that is truly the case I will be picking up 2011 (after a nice price cut) 2009 can hold me over till next September or October.

You are one patient individual . I always get the show on release day. I am anxiously awaiting franchise news (which accounts for 95% of my playing time).

Why wait for a price cut? Unless $ is an issue of course. I have zero issues giving SCEA full price due to them actually improving and listening to the gamers input.

$$$ is not an issue. I just have 2K11, NHL 11, MAdden 11 and NCAA11 and then I get into CH2K8 in March again. I have so many Chises keeping me busy, plus I am going into my 3rd season with the Yankees in the Show 2009. I play almost every game (162) of my franchise in The Show. So just by playing my other sports games so much and trying to win my first title with the Yankees (been knocked out of the ACLS 2 years in a row!!!) in the 2009 version I figure by September of 2011 I will be ready for a new version of the Show if indeed 2011 warrants an upgrade over 2009. Might as well save 20-30 bucks to boot.

I hope the game truly kills it with analog hitting and pitching because that could be a game changer. And I am a stout fan of MVP 2005 (loved the controls which were perfect). I think the Show 2009 along with NBA2K11 are hands down the best sports games ever.
