SCEA has released the first screenshots for MLB 10: The Show. There are six in total and one of them confirms the addition of a Home Run Derby which has been lacking from the series.

The cover athlete is expected to be revealed on Thursday. Based on the images released it seems that Joe Mauer may be the front-runner. The AL MVP is featured in two screens which may or may not be an indication that he will be the representative chosen. Last year along with the cover announcement came the full features list but it is unknown whether that or detailed previews will accompany the cover reveal.

Check out all the screenshots in the gallery and leave your thoughts on them in the comments!

The graphics are great, but I get bored with the game every year after the first few weeks. The game is so passive, all you do is press the X button repeatedly. I want to actually play the game, not just press the X button and let the computer do everything for me. If MLB 2K would get rid of all the bugs, they may be on to something with their actual game mechanics.

This was my favorite sports game of the year, and the reason I bought a PS3. I look forward to seeing what they have improved on for this year.

some of these new features are nice but what I would still love to see them ADD:

ADD a HISTORY section :

As you complete each season in your franchise, you create pages of history, stats, boxscores, Playoff scores, League leaders, Final Standings, etc that can be easily referenced and looked up by season in a neatly organized section of the game called HISTORY or ALMANAC. This way you can always look back and reference information from previous seasons. This is critical in baseball and gives true depth to a FRANCHISE MODE

ADD an IMPORT FRANCHISE feature:

We all have probablly cursed this under our breath many times not only in MLB the Show but in ever single Sports video game, "Damn it, now I gotta start my Franchise all over again…!" Why should upgrading to a newer version of a Sports game force you to start the work that you've done before all over again??….It shouldn't! Would you accept having to get a new cell phone number just because you bought a new phone? In fact, it would be in a companies best interest to add this feature. Im sure there are a certain percentage of sales LOST every year because people are content with their existing franchise progress and dont want to start all over.

ADD USER CREATED TEAMS to Franchise Mode:

This would be just cool. Alot of people would like the ability to merge their fictitious team creations with real life players and teams and create WHAT IF Scenario Franchises!

STADIUM CREATOR:

Anyone old enough to remember the days of Earl Weaver Baseball?….How freakin cool was it to be able to build your own ballpark? Think about it. Madden offers this feature but in football its really just an aesthetic reward because it adds no real value to the gameplay dynamics. But in baseball, Ball park dimensions can literally change the dynamics of an entire team!…(see NY Mets)

ADD Dynamic and Individual AI MANAGERS:

Why with a game THIS deep and advanced do we have to settle for one AI style manager making decisions for every single team in your Franchise? We all know how diverse each managers philosphies and priorities are in the MLB, why not flesh this out further and represent it in the game?

The only thing I'm really concerned about is Ryan Howard's batting stance. Here's what I mean. In baseball Howard stands with his knees bent and his bat hitting his shoulder all the time. In the game he is standing straight up and the bat doesn't hit his shoulder.
