If it's something to do with a new review system, that system is flawed. On a site "dedicated to sports gaming" these sports games should be comparted to each other, too. In that regard, the Show is much higher on the mountain looking down at other sports games and should be graded as such.

You should be banned!! Read the new review process!

Why? Just to say you looked at it? Much rather see each individual mode addressed fully in a cycle rather then the buckshot approach of trying to partially address 5.

Franchise mode wasn't neglected we have limited resources and limited time. Can't revamp every mode every year. RTTS needed some love as Franchise mode received a large portion of the resources the previous two years.

The game is great and some key areas needs tweaking but the game is fantastic all around. Nuff said.

But Nem that avatar is about the best I have seen....Good job

Great job with the game overall. My biggest grip with the game and it has been since PS3 started is the control given or taken away from us as the fielder in the outfield. I have lost some games because my fielder goes into a canned animation in the outfield that is slow mo and the runners take extra bases because of it.

I wish the animations would only take over closer to when the ball is about to be caught and not so soon on certain plays.

has there been a full minors roster upped on for the show?

It is from the pic and vid thread. 42 cropped it for me to make it into an avatar.

Good, fair review. I'm a big fan of this game (I wrote my own review just for fun), even though I am struggling out of the gates with the Analog controls.

For those comparing this score to prior years', that argument doesn't hold up because as Chase and others have mentioned, OS completely re-vamped its review system.
