ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Oh boy.... Joe Mauer will be the cover star for a 2nd straight year. Little disappointed. Was looking forward to Hamilton, Cabrera, Konerko, or some other AL slugger that had a great year. It's alright, I like Joe Mauer. Anyway, ESPN released an article today about the game.....here are some highlighted new features - Analog control (pitching, batting, fielding all will use the right analog stick) - Dynamic rain and clouds (rain will effect on-field play) - Co-op play (online and offline, up to 2v2. Customizable duties) - RTTS 5.0 (More in-depth reward system and progressively difficult training exercises) - Challenge of the Week (short challenges every week that will earn prizes) - 3D capability - "Move" capability for Home Run Derby - Fake throws (tap button twice to pump fake to trick aggressive runners) - Custom camera angles (Can play from any viewpoint in the stadium) That's about all I can remember. The weather and Co-Op are the most exciting IMO. I have been dying to play Co-Op since All-Star Baseball games like 5 years ago. So pumped.

Steve9347 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Count me in the group that will be skipping this year's game, to be honest. I'm not too keen on analog controls for pitching, and I can just download an updated roster set prior to the season for MLB 10 and it'll still look great.

You can revert to the old buttons if you want to... I really wanted them to integrate Move for the whole game, that would have sold me the Move and this game. I'm still waiting to see how 2K11 comes out. If that game's as good as the first screenshot looks, I might skip the Show.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I miss EA's MVP series. I just purchased a used '10 The Show and its hard to get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was obsessed with MVP, but MLB 10 The Show is easily the best and most realistic baseball game ever created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I havent touched a baseball video game in forever, but is it some kind of rule to NEVER get The Cell to look right in any of them? Every picture I've seen it just looks slightly off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every picture I've seen it just looks slightly off They don't have the rights to put the McDonalds thing on the top of the scoreboard or all the other actual ads at the Cell. They also can't put all the murals in left center field since they don't have the rights to put certain player who were not part of the MLBPA in the game. It's complicated with these things.

Nothing has been removed from 2010 to 2011, only additions. That means all your settings and buttons can be set back. I personally will only be using the analog controls for batting. I prefer pitching and fielding with normal buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but what I'm saying is there are a couple additions, but dropping $60 on basically a brand new game won't make much sense. Last year I had to do it for Gordon Beckham's mug, but this year I think I'll be a-ok with downloading an update, making personal modifications, and going for it.

Well then you certainly aren't exploring hardly any of the game if you think the only addition last year was Gordon Beckham's face. It's fine though, if want to wait another year, then thats fine.
