MLB 10: The Show First Screenshots

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.

Hopefully Citi field will look like Citi field. Maybe there will be less computer cheating - a.k.a. killing your rallies withe every cheap cheat imaginable!

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?

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.

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 an Fifa are the best next gen sports games period, Anyone trying to argue that is simply foolish!

NHL?

Joe Mauer Cover Athlete Confirmed!!!!

Sorry here is the correct link http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?i... Mauer is the cover Athlete!!!

Confirmed on Page 3 here >>>>> http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?i... is the cover boy!

Looks like 09 but Im still playing that game and baseball season is well over so I cant wait for 10 to come out.

i cannot wait for this game! it needs to come out now! go a's!

Let's hope they also fix the online lag issues as well. The was the only issue I really remember. Also look for more improved Online Franchise mode as well.

Yeah definitely online play is what has held the franchise back.

i really hope the release the feature list tomorrow along with the cover boy. obviously this was a way to get everyone excited about the game and the next thing coming is the release of the cover boy and maybe a feature list. cant wait until tomorrow!

nothing new. i think they need to do something drastic to improve this game like a create a franchise. something different to keep buyers on their toes

haha GoMagic i dont know if you meant that in a funny way but it sounded like your player was not very good? or what but it just came off kind of funny...sorry if you didnt mean for it to be funny.

I need to see more pictures of the AA teams since thats where i spent all my time playing in 09. :)

i personally think they toned down a little bit on the bulkyness of some of the players....it doesn't seem like they completely re-did the player models like they said they were going to though. o well. i still think this is the best playing and looking baseball series ever....anybody else think pujols' finishing swing looks a bid odd? being a huge fan of him and watching every cardinals game i have never really seen him finish a homerun swing with his finishing hand down...but o well. still the best baseball sim ever! 3-9-10 BABY!

Looks exactly the same as last year. Who cares about home run derby fix the gameplay and player models please.

gameplay doesnt really need major fixing so why not put hrd in? i love it.

CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME, probably the best sports game of all time!!!

If you open up two browser screens here and gamespots mlb the show 09 bring up the pages or click from one to another you will notice the difference.

At least we know these are real screenshots. Not the photoshopped ones that 2K puts out early on. Looking forward to hearing more details on the game tomorrow.

Im not sure how they could top the visuals from 09 so these look similar. Not a bad thing by any means.

hmm no new player models? i thought they said theyd be re-doing them this year

They couldn't get them in this year, because with new player models they also have to re-map all the animations with it.

But we know they arent going to use Jeter he was on the cover of 2K for like 3 straight years

Wow those screen shots look amazing can't wait for MLB 10 The Show to come out on the PS3 next March just in time for baseball season.

HR Derby hell fuckin yes

Jeter is also on 2 of the screenshots

Yes a HR Derby! I know its basically just a mini-game but I miss not having it. Hope they let you play it online too.

those look great. god i cant wait for this game!

looks the samething like last year
