MLB the Show gets a score of 5/10, but wait till you read the second sentence

[woz411]

this score counts on metacritic apparently, and the person who reviewed it, does not understand baseball… You know how I know?

Quote:

Baseball is a funny sport. Yes, it is about two teams trying to score more points than the other in order to win, but not so much in the same vein as other sports,

Quote:

In baseball, one man throws a ball, while his opponent hits it and runs, while the other team tries to catch it and knock him out. As entertaining as it is to watch as a sport, that entertainment factor does not always translate into a video game

Quote:

When he runs, which you don’t control, you can either tell him to wait at the base or keep going.

Why do people review a sports game if they do not understand the sport?

Mind boggling

Referring to runs as "points" and games as "matches" pretty much sums up his knowledge about baseball. The article has no substance what so ever.

I really hate some of these geeky kid sites that try to review sports video games. If you're that type of person and have obviously never played said sport in your life then you have no business reviewing a video game based on it. It's like if I reviewed a Call of Duty game, I'd give it horrible marks cause I loathe first person shooters but I know my opinion on that isn't the popular opinion so I don't write up reviews or even share my opinion on said games (well, other than using it as an example in this scenario).

LMBO at the dweeb that reviewed the game. Obviously he dont have a clue about baseball to begin with.

Why even review a game if you dont know anything about that sport to begin with, that makes no sense to me.

Never played? I'm wondering if he's ever even watched an inning of baseball. Much less played.

Reminds me of the videos of the British (?) guys doing commentary over NBA2K gameplay. Hilarious.
