MLB '11: The Show Review (PS3)

[Joho16]

Good fair review. The reviews on sports games are so much better here than on the other review sites. MLB The Show has set the standard for sure. There seem to be enough improvements to warrant a purchase for sure. I always like to give MLB 2K a shot as well and hope for a good game each year from them but it just isn't the case.

I love the show, but to fork over another $65 for this title is hard right now. Simply because I feel all i'm paying for is analog controls , and a roster update.

Solid game, maybe if someone is selling it for $40 or less I'll get a copy.

Not sure how you could come to that conclusion. But to each their own.

I agree with this. Would I like to see some better presentation on the back end? Sure, its the one weak point I think this title has. Gameplay though, from the little things down to just the feel of the game just screams out realism which is really a treat. It doesn't hurt that the physics are really good this year too to go with the analog stuff going on.

The game gets a solid 9 in my book as well.

In all seriousness, 8.5 seems like a fair score. I wrote a review elsewhere when the game came out and I think I gave it either an 8 or an 8.5. If they could just fix some of the ridiculous physics, specifically batting and fielding, I'd be happy for life.

But to the OP: Did you really have to close your review with such a corny line?
