    It is unclear why this was rated 1/2 point lower than last year....

    LMAO Micro Machine guy!?! Dude, I totally forgot about that guy!

    This reviewer seemed nervous...like it was public speaking day or something...if you're recording this, you should do a more professional job of speaking at a SLOWER pace, not talking like the guy who used to do Micro Machines commericals in the late 80s. I have a feeling there's a lot more depth to the game than they are telling us. I'll stick with MLB 10 for now, but some parts look much better...

    This is the second gamespot reviewer who rushes through his review like an awkward third grader giving a book report. He didn't really say so I'm not sure why the score has gone down if they are delivering a comparable experience, stagnation maybe? I think I'll stick with 11 for the time being.

    @JustPlainLucas same here, except it was Super bases loaded that i played last. kinda fell away from gaming for awhile (other then mod-ing and hacking just for the fun, I had every snes rom, but never played any!) now i do purchase my games if deemed worthy.

    @wowwow27 This is my first baseball game in years. I think the last one was MLB 08 for the PSP, which I really loved. The Show just seems brutally unforgiving to me. Hopefully, I can continue to improve.

    @JustPlainLucas I had the same problem, i got killed in the seventh inning of my first game, but I think this game has a bell curve going for its learning factor, plus being a baseball player (at heart) helps.

    @wowwow27 It was rather rough for me to get the hang of. I was playing on Rookie getting my butt handed to me. I'm doing better, so it's not so bad, but the presentation of the game is sorely lacking.

    @JustPlainLucas damn, what didn't you like?

    @wowwow27 If 32 is young...

    @JustPlainLucas you must be a youngster.

    Learn how to review a game. Talk about all the features not just one or two. Who ever made this guy a reviewer should be fired.
