Well deserved, the game is awesome. Been playing it since last Tuesday, and doing only RTTS so far. By far the best sports game I've ever played (and I've played a lot of them).
Now if I can only learn discipline and stop swinging at every single ball, I might actually make it to the Majors.
Only drawback - I got drafted by the Cubs and they are refusing to trade me :(


that just means you should make it to the majors a lot quicker because that whole team sucks. I got drafted by the angels. my hickup is always getting picked off. once you take a step off the pitcher tries a pick off move. Ulgh.

VGC should have expected this considering The Show is the only baseball game available to gamers this year.


We really have it tracking lower? Sigh... -_-



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Just hold your stick to the left, your guy will automatically slide back if they try to pick you off. After a while, you'll get used to the slight tells a pitcher has, and the base running arrows on your HUD switch positions when the pick off is imminent.

Its a shame The Best Sports Game doesn't sell HUGE figures, FIFA is a sad repeat (based on the demo's at least) and MLB improves, if at least a little every year.

I've been really considering picking this game up. Not a big sports fan in general, 60 bucks is kinda steep knowing that.

MLB The Show has one of the most faithful audience

Mario Kart, Watch Dogs and Wolfestien will all outsell it. at least thats my guess. 


hmm fps versus sports does have the advantage, but I doubt Wolfenstein will sell that well overall

but but but, nobody cares about this game


You shouldn't listen to fanboys and haters that much.

So can we expect this to boost PS4 sales a little bit?... with Watch_Dogs also looking like it will sell best on PS4, I think this shows that it will be positive to Sony in NPD for May.

If they can get TLOU in june, it could be an easy few month wins for Sony.

There are other wonky things for baserunning. Sometimes I'll tag up but the guy in front of me wont even though I'm a slower slugger and it will say "caught stealing -8" lol. Says it if i advance on a wild ball too but the other runner didnt.
