It has been a flurry of activity since last night related to MLB 10: The Show. The first screenshots, the first preview, and the cover announcement have already been posted. Here is some additional info and media on the game while awaiting an official fact sheet which is expected soon.

Destructoid, Gamespot, and IGN have posted up their hands-on previews. There isn’t a great deal new to be found in these but they are worth checking out for the varied perspectives.

Based on the previous and the press release from today the main features and enhancements revealed so far include the Home Run Derby, Futures Game, Catcher mode in RTTS, new training mini-games for RTTS, the ability to put together highlight reels, and improved online leagues and online performance. Once again the player creator utilizing the Playstation Eye camera is exclusive to the PS2 version.

I strongly believe that SCEA has made a smart move by enhancing instead of reinventing. This is especially true in how they didn’t fix what wasn’t broken with the pitching and hitting controls. Still I remain concerned regarding whether they’ll come through with a good online experience. Vote in the poll below on how you feel about the information and screens released so far and leave your thoughts in the comments!

    The thing with this franchise is that their bread and butter is offline, last years game I only went online to try it out once. Games like Madden need a smooth online experience because the franchise mode is childish compared to games like the show.
  • want it but can't get it because i have a 360. Sony should seriously consider making this game multi-platform. just think how many extra sales they can get.. MLB 2k really sucks so far, and unless 2k makes a giant leap for 2k10, then its gonna suck again. MLB the show is the king of baseball right now.

    it'll never happen. The point is to make microsoft suffer with the baseball industry because we all know 2K will be done after this year. Sony is for Sony so i dont see why they would also create a game for their competitors. Its not about money in this case cause the show will sell tons on PS3 and the fact that the PS3's power is ridiculously stronger than the 360, they would have to drop down game space on the blue ray therefore making it less beautiful than it is on the ps3.

  • The best sport game period. The first sport game that can be classified as a 'buy console for this game'.

    This is looking to be the Best Sports Game of All-Time! If they get the online play working correctly, it will be. They have added all the things I hoped they would add and/or fix. Classic stadiums, real time skies and cloud shadow movement, much improved pickoff system, dynamic dugouts with the correct players(still hoping), more real-time stadium stats.

    The only thing I would like to see is a real effort for old-time and Hall of Fame players in the game. They could do it by classic teams or decades. But, put some real effort into their look, mechanics, and stats.

    I would pay extra if they made this downloadable content.

    Thanks once more to Sony San Diego for their pure love of the game and getting it right.

  • Was an error. They canceled the orders that were made at that price.
  • I looked but I don't see a price. Is it legit?

    i was hoping for an extra level to be added in the minor leagues. in real life, AA feels so accomplished already so I was hoping for at least Hi A where at least there is easy difficulty and progress from there. Im still not sold on this because I thought sony could have improved quite a bit with custom gear (which i dont know for sure is in) but that would have been a nice touch.

    Im still gonna keep my hopes up that EA's new game is college baseball because EA on the PS3 is probably unimaginable

  • This will definitely win GOTY. MLB 2K10 will be the last game for 2K.
