Re: MLB 11 The Show a quick tidbit

Question, with classic base running on... If I have runners on 1st and 3rd, how do I send the runner on 1st without sending the runner on 3rd? Not sure if this will help, JRod, but I always just push the stick to the runner I want to control, and then hit the button for the base I want him to run t...

Re: Fight Night Champion Demo

Any interest I had in paying full price for this one left when I read that "story mode" could be completed in 3 hours. Too many other good games are out for it to be anything but a rental.

Re: LA Noir (by Rockstar Games) wow...

A few new videos of LA Noire were released this month. I found this one especially impressive. Loads of recognizable film and TV actors including two more from Mad Men. I nearly shed tears of joy when I saw the former Bullocks building on Wilshire at the 2:30 mark. This is probably my favorite buil...

Re: MLB 11 The Show a quick tidbit

What other old time ballparks are in the show? Same question goes for 2K11. The ones in the Show are the same as last year: • Crosley Field: Home of the Cincinnati Reds from 1912 to 1970. The site of major league baseball's first night game. • Forbes Field: Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1909 ...

I definitely plan on picking this up soon for PS3 but look forward to seeing more Move impressions in the meantime. I liked it with the demo and hope they improved it even more on the final build.

Re: MLB 11 The Show a quick tidbit

Messed around some with the HR Derby using the Move this weekend -- I bet this would be an awesome mode to play if I had kids, or a 3D television. I love being able to take practice swings and it does feel pretty good when you do connect on a long one with the Move. Also like the spray chart which t...

Re: Tiger Woods 12 - Masters Edition

I thought the Masters thing in the demo was pretty cool, but wasn't crazy at all about playing the Tiburon course. Not sure if it was because I didn't like how they utilized the Move, or because I'm not a huge golf fan to begin with, or because I just didn't care for the game. Shame that the demo do...

It's pretty much identical to watching a Cards broadcast -- without having to suffer from listening to Dan McL...

Re: OT: GameStop Faces Action Over Deceptive Used Sales

I'm not a fan of Gamestop for numerous reasons but I think this lawsuit is going nowhere. It's the game companies who should PUT labels on the package to clearly indicate the online code is a one time use only code. Gamestop is just a reseller of the game. As part of its motion to dismiss, I wouldn...

OT: GameStop Faces Action Over Deceptive Used Sales

Gamestop's being sued over its pre-owned program, although if I had to bet it will probably just mean a sticker gets added to Gamestop's pre-owned games at some point down the road. "In a complaint filed March 1 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the plaintiffs claim...

Re: MLB 2K11 info coming tomorrow

The original EA Game Changer, pasta padre, has been critical of the game -- no real surprise there. He bags on the Show every year, too -- and probably won't have either game on his year-end 10 best list. I haven't played the retail copy yet but the majority of comments I've read have been positive....

NCAA facebook game of some sort (with microtransactions) definitely seems more likely. Although -- I think the madden and FIFA facebook games utilize the actual players, not sure how that would work with college, unless EA lets ya use created rosters online.

The Show, NBA2k and Backbreaker are all golden on PS3...and the demos for MLB2k and TS4 are both very promising. Makes me think it's not the system.
