I was well on my way to banishing the PS2 to the basement. This game saved its life. I had been addicted to MLB 09: The Show but grew tired of waiting for the game to load. This version makes many improvements on the game load times though. The game loads much faster in many ways. You no longer have to sit and watch a frozen screen before the system figures out where to go next. The animations are more fluid and realistic. Of course the PS3 version has better graphics, but the one thing I admire about the PS2 version is being able to use my EyeToy to scan pictures into the game. The PS3 can't do that!

If you have a PS2 still laying around, scoop up a copy of this game. At (...) it'll bring all the punch and action you'd find in the PS3 version, if not more.

3.0 out of 5 stars More Realistic..., May 17, 2010

This review is from: MLB 10 The Show (Video Game)

For 3 years, I had completed 6.5 seasons using MLB07. I didn't want to get the new version because I built such a foundation with the 2007 version but after 6 seasons, the rosters were WAY out of whack and too many computer created players on MLB rosters with the same faces!

This new version has its ups and downs. First, the graphics are poorer than MLB07. For example, Mark Teixeira is as white as a ghost. The fieling is a bit better. One plus side is the reality of the game. On MLB07, I was playing using "Hall of Fame" difficulty. In this version, I'm using "Veteran" and am facing a bigger challenge than 07's top level offered. I actually have tough down-to-the-wire games, even with the best of rosters. From that standpoint, it is more realistic with player stats and standings. In MLB07, all of my players batted .300+ and 7 of my 9 batters had over 100 RBIs. In this game, the numbers are more realistic as players hit hold/cold streaks like real life. Pitching is more realistic as well. Just as in real life pitchers have excellent, good and poor days.

One downside is the batting mode. I've adjusted the hell out of the batting sliders. In 07, I didn't have to adjust anything. In this version, for a player who in real life is MVP quality you have to increase the sliders when batting in order to get some real contact hits. Plus, if you call the right pitch and location, let's say it's going to be a fastball Low-Inside corner, the PCI will be stuck on middle-inside. Where to go from there is still tough to figure out. Whether or not to use the L stick a lot or just a little is a mystery still. It seems that if the PCI is an inch or two above the ball dot, just slightly move the L stick down, but the PCI doesn't move. Need to guess what part of the plate your batter is covering. After 3 months of a season, I'm just starting to get the hang of it.

So, if you want a more realistic game that will provide a bigger challenge, this is it.

This review is from: MLB 10 The Show (Video Game)

The Pros:

Realistic, great graphics,

The Cons:

Difficult fielding, no way to make the fielder run faster after a ball, leading to a lot of missplayed balls.
Pitching Box does not display accurately the Strike zone. You put the ball in the strike zone box and more times then not it's called a ball, very frustrating.
Hitting is Ok but if you don't crank the sliders all the way up you might never get a hit, frustrating.
Does not display info or name of the hitter when he's up. Scorecard info and season info.
When pressing the L2 button to get info it stays onscreen for about 1/2 second. Why have this option if the user can't review it?

I'm a user who just wants to play the game in season mode, period & don't need all the other options included. Probably less is more in this case.
