I really hope they so something to give us a game speed somewhere in between the 2 options we have now. The default presentation is nice, but a lot of times I just wantto crank out a game in 30-40 minutes. Turning the "fast game" (or whatever it's called) on, I lose all of the little things like replays and batter walkups.
MVP nailed this with a fast pace that still had a lot of little touches during the game.
Right now I'm excited for baseball, but not so much for another installment fo the Show. '09 still has lots of life left with all of the classic teams Kinight over at OS has given us. I figure someone will be doing updated rosters for '09 too, so I may just hold off on '10.

Dan, you will most definitely need glasses for 3D with this new tech that is coming down the pipe. No-glasses 3D will become a reality of some kind within our lifetimes, but that's not this tech.
There are a few breakthroughs with this new tech, but the main thing for movie exhibition is that now with digital projection, the image is rock-solid with no shake, no registration movement at all. This is unlike film projection, which even with the best projectors creates a little bit of image shake from frame to frame. With normal movies, this isn't much of a big deal at all, but with 3D, your two eyes are seeing differen images, and this little shale can easily produce the headaches that affect somewhere near or above 50% of people.
With the digital projection, however, this problem is gone. There were a few 3D movies this past year, such as Coraline and Up (both of such are superb movies whether you see them in 3D or not) and the Dreamworks animated movies like Ice Age 3 and Monsters and Aliens. But 2010 will se a huge explosion of 3D movies, not limited to animated pictures, though that is where most of them will come from. Avatar is sort of a blend of animation and live action, actually more animation and CGI than live action (I wonder ifit will qualify to be nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar), and in many ways includng 3D tech, is is a harbinger of things to come in moviemaking.
For home viewing, many new sets coming out now and into next year have 3D tech ready. It requires special circuitry built in, and as far as I know, there is no way to retrofit normal HDTVs for 3D.

I agree. I wish there was some customization where you could choose what to see (walk ups, stat overlays, and maybe replays, but not cut scenes). Although the real-time stuff sounds cool.matthewk wrote:I really hope they so something to give us a game speed somewhere in between the 2 options we have now.

I like that they're focusing on beefing up catching in RTTS. I always wanted to make a catcher but it was too boring with the limitations they had.
Well, it's cheaper now; smaller, sleeker. It's still a very competitive BluRay player for the price, if not still top of its class for the price. It does a superb job decoding standard DVDs as well and outputting them 1080 over HDMI. (I don't know if it can do 1080p, but that's because it would do me no good with my TV).Zlax45 wrote:Every year I do this as The Show news starts coming out...Do I get a PS3 for this game???
Despite the baseball-starved video game world we inhabit now, I say The Show is still the game you'd consider to be the best even if there were another quality offering out there.
Plus, there are now TWO Uncharted games to enjoy along with the show, as well as the Ratchet and Clank game(s), Little Big Planet, and Infamous as well, all of which could be considered 'system sellers' in their own right. Now it can do Netflix streaming as well, though I think it's a real drag to have to have the special Netflix disc in the machine to do it (unlike the Xbox), and can it do Hulu over its browser? I don't know, but maybe.
I still use my Xbox way, way more than the PS3, but to watch movies, whether BluRay or DVD, and for the Uncharted games, Infamous, PES which is the only game I prefer the PS3 controller for over the Xbox controller (game is built with D-Pad in mind, and it does make a difference), and of course The Show, I say, 'NO BRAINER!'
BluRay, man. BluRay.

You get a PS3 for Blu-Ray, The Show is the added cherry on top. Seriouslly the PS3 is a better choice then many stand alone players, plus you get a great multi-media hub, oh yeah it plays games too and some of the exclusive are awesome.Zlax45 wrote:Every year I do this as The Show news starts coming out...Do I get a PS3 for this game???
At the end of he day if someone said I had to use only one machine for gaming it would still be my 360, but if I had to choose one machine for overall use it would be the PS3 no question.

Man, first came word of the Soundgarden reunion, and now there's confirmation that an all-new broadcast fielding cam will be included in The Show (thank you!!!). 2010 sure is off to a GREAT start, IMO. Here's the full fact sheet, along with some added commentary from Russell at SCEA:
"MLB10 The Show Hardcore Fact Sheet
The long awaited Home Run Derby® leads the deep features list in MLB 10 The Show for PS3. Fully implemented in the season modes and available as a stand alone feature, Home Run Derby follows the current MLB rules and flow. The MLB®All-Star Futures Game™ will also be available within season modes in its correct timeframe (just before the Home Run Derby), as well as fully functional online leagues.
Additional new features for the PS3 game include “Catcher Mode,” the ability to call the game as the catcher, select pitches, and be the ultimate field general, just like Joe Mauer. MLB 10 The Show will also offer daytime transitional lighting, a newly added “Movie Maker” menu giving the user the ability to select multiple replays to add to and edit a single movie, and 11 new stadiums. Five new Minor League stadiums will be introduced, as well as a selection of classic parks available on the PS3 for the first time including Forbes Field, Crosley Field, The Polo Grounds, Shibe Park, Sportsman Park, and Griffith Staduim.
Online multiplayer has vastly improved this year to bring more of that competitive fire out amongst friends. First and foremost, the game will detect and respond better to adverse network conditions and bandwidth has been reduced to help the speed and flow of online gameplay. Along with the core online league play, where gamers can customize leagues including choosing players, teams, and length of schedule, MLB 10 The Show will now offer fullyfunctional online season leagues! The new online season leagues will save anddisplay MLB Player stats, track player energy, allow for trades/injuries, and offer 40-manroster functionality. Alongside this will be weekly live roster updates, available every week throughout the entire MLB season, trackingroster changes, addition of new MLB players (with correct attributes), and player attribute updates to reflect hot and cold streaks.
Lastly, The Show will offer the ability to view every game you've ever played online, complete with opponents, box scores, and game logs. There is simply no better place to turn up the smacktalk and settle a little baseball rivalry than playing it out online in The Show The gameplay in The Show has been enhanced considerably with improved logic, animations and presentations resulting in a wider variety of hit types (including more choppers), improved ground ball friction, improved run down logic, and upgrades to the Throwing Meter, which will reflect each player’s arm strength based on attributes. The ground ball friction will provide more realistic bounces and ground balls getting by the corner infielders when hit down either foul line allowing for extra bases when the ball rattles around in the left and right field corners. Ball collision improvements now enable the ball to bounce off of any part of the batter's body and take the correct trajectory after impact. If you dive for a ball and miss it, the ball can be smothered, kicked, and deflected, all outcomes following real life ball physics.
Comebackers to the mound can deflect off the pitcher’s body who can then turn a great looking 1-6-3 double play. We have also added the always popular 3-6-3 double play, ability to rob HRs, dives, sliding catch plays, tumbles, rolls, over running bases, getting caught on a pick-off move when leaning the wrong way, base runner line drive reactions, multiple levels of check swings, and umpire reviews of HRs hit down the foul lines (they can get reversed!)—all new aspects of the gameplay those not only looks great, but feel right.
MLB 10 The Show once again raises the overall level of detail and realism from customizable fan chants, to jumbotron animations, to crowd atmosphere. Not to be outdone, stadium ambiance will be improved with the addition of HR/splash counters, fireworks, steam, noisemakers, towels, thunder sticks, crowd reaching over the rails, and crowd detail, such as interaction with vendors and placing Ks. Mascots are also available for all teams and each will show off signature moves throughout the game.
The popular “Road to The Show” mode returns with version 4.0 featuring the addition of two new interactive training modes, new settings, and new presentations. Interactive training will consist of a set of mini-games designed to improve a player’s fielding and pitching ability, adding to last year's introduction of batting and base running training. In Road to The Show users will also have the new Game Watch and Game Completion options which allow the player to set how much of the game they wish to view. “Franchise Mode” also returns to the game, including the 40-man roster, salary arbitration, waiver transactions and September call-ups. Due to hit stores in March 2010, just in time for Spring Training, as the only officially licensed first party videogame exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™), PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), and the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) go, MLB 10 The Show is prepared to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for all fans, new and old.

Users will now start their career in AA and will have to earn their spot in Spring Training. In order to enforce good fundamental baseball, two new systems have been implemented. The first is a mistake tracking system that will keep tabs on how users play the game and will penalize for throwing to the wrong base, not covering the right base for the out, etc. The second feature is a new Green Light system that has been implemented to reward good base stealing and penalize those that shouldn't be stealing. If a user continues to steal once the green light has been revoked, their playing time will diminish. Once revoked, users will have to improve their speed and base running ability in order to regain the green light. Finally, there is a new stat tracking system that keeps stats for your player’s career versus every pitcher or batter faced during the current season that can be accessed at any time.

As it is every year this is not every new edition, tweak, or change that was made in the game this year is in the fact sheet.
I.E. Simple but frustrating game play issues have been addressed. It's now easier to go the "easy" way with two outs, even the CPU does it now.
3-6-3 double plays are now in the game. Runners at second will take a bigger secondary lead offs allowing them to get better jumps on base hits so they don't get robbed of a run. To counter that we added a wide variety of outfielder crow hop animations.
much quicker and stronger looking throws. Upgraded the Throwing Meter so that it truly reflect each players weakest and strongest throw based on his attribute.
We have a tighter fielder to runner collisions at second base now when they break up double plays. More slides at all bases including home plate for close plays. New run down logic with better, more responsive change of direction animations. More over the top exciting plays. All new rob HR's, dives, sliding catch plays, tumbles, rolls, over running the bases, getting caught on a pick off leaning the wrong way, base runner line drive reactions,. Not only did we add a ton of game play animations for variety, we added the majority of them to make the game play and feel better. Robbing HR's, diving, picking off runners, stealing bases, hit by pitches, check swings, etc...
We have a whole new check swing system, three levels, it not only looks great but it feels just right. When you check your swing early, you get a very small check, all the way up to checking it late, where you held on to the swing for just a bit to long.
All new hit by pitch and avoid system for the batters. We captured over 60 animations for hit by pitches alone. The batter can now avoid or get hit by any pitch that comes his way. Based on the situation, the batter will react properly.
If there's a runner on third and there's a wild pitch, the batter will step out of the box and either tell the runner to advance by waving him in, or stay put. Ball 4 wild pitch he will take a look and then run down to first in case you want to try and advance him.
and much more.
We now have independent difficulties for pitching and for hitting. In addition B Ma has tweaked the pitching meter so now its more tuned to your input. (pitcher confidence and pitch confidence is still a major factor as well) However now your timing on the accuracy and velocity of the pitches mean more in the outcome than in did in MLB09."

Fielding training will consist of two types of training focus on the user's throwing with the new throw meter and focus on a combination of throwing and decision-making. Pitching training will have two options—Knockout and Simulated Game, both focusing on control and accuracy, with goals provided for each session. These training modes will extend to practice modes for both fielding and pitching and are a perfect way to polish and improve your baseball skills in The Show!
Road to The Show Version 4.0 (PS3) – Road to The Show (RTTS) 4.0 features the additions of two new option settings; RTTS Game Watch and RTTS Game Completion, that allow users to set how much of the game they wish to view. With settings of All Pitches, All Fielding, Result Play, and Off, user's will have the choice to view every pitch of the entire game, or trim the viewing down to just the result pitch. Users will now start their career in AA and will have to earn their spot in Spring Training. In order to enforce good fundamental baseball, two new systems have been implemented. The first is a mistake tracking system that will keep tabs on how users play the game and will penalize for throwing to the wrong base, not covering the right base for the out, etc. The second feature is a new Green Light system that has been implemented to reward good base stealing and penalize those that shouldn't be stealing. If a user continues to steal once the green light has been revoked, their playing time will diminish. Once revoked, users will have to improve their speed and base running ability in order to regain the green light. Finally, there is a new stat tracking system that keeps stats for your player’s career versus every pitcher or batter faced during the current season that can be accessed at any time.
Full Online Season Leagues (PS3) – Along with improvements to the traditional online leagues, MLB 10 The Show will offer fullyfunctional online season leagues! The new online season leagues will save anddisplay MLB Player stats, track player energy, allow for trades/injuries, and offer 40-manroster functionality.
Weekly Live Roster – An updated live roster will be available every week throughout the entire season. Included in the update will be all roster changes, addition of new MLB players (with correct attributes), and player attribute updates to reflect hot and cold streaks.
Online Game History – MLB 10 The Show now offers the ability to view every game you've ever played online, complete with opponents, box scores, and game logs.
1-30 Player Season Modes (PS3) – Because roster control is an integral part of Franchise Mode, giving the user the ability tocontrol one or all 30 teams is now essential to the mode. To do this, the user has the option to select how many teams (or all teams) they wish to control rightfrom the start of their franchise or season.
New Camera System (PS3) – MLB 10 The Show is set to raise the bar for sports gaming and offer the most robust and realisticcamera system available. Camera positioning will make you double takeand make sure you’re not watching a live MLB telecast.This includes an all new broadcast fielding camera as an option
Real-Time Presentations (PS3) – MLB 10 The Show has boosted the number of overall animations by capturing more than 1,250 new gameplay animations, more than 1,000 new presentation animations, and more than 400 personalized pitcher and batter animations. To accompany this upgraded experience, The Show introduces a new broadcast camera for fielding that will make you feel like you're watching a live telecast.
Stadium Realism and Experience (PS3) – As the leading MLB experience, MLB 10 The Show takes pride in the detailsoffering daytime transitionallighting, similar to our day to night transitional lighting. Notice the sun position and length of shadows as the 1:00pm first pitch reaches the afternoon. All players on field will be shown in real-time; this goes for dugout and bullpen players. Not to be outdone, stadium ambiance will be improved with the addition of HR/splash counters, fireworks, steam, noisemakers, towels, thunder sticks, working digital and analog clocks, crowd reaching over the rails, and crowd detail, such as interaction with vendors and placing K signs.
As it is every year this is not every new edition, tweak, or change that was made in the game this year is in the fact sheet.
I.E. Simple but frustrating game play issues have been addressed. It's now easier to go the "easy" way with two outs, even the CPU does it now.
3-6-3 double plays are now in the game. Runners at second will take a bigger secondary lead offs allowing them to get better jumps on base hits so they don't get robbed of a run. To counter that we added a wide variety of outfielder crow hop animations.
much quicker and stronger looking throws. Upgraded the Throwing Meter so that it truly reflect each players weakest and strongest throw based on his attribute.
We have a tighter fielder to runner collisions at second base now when they break up double plays. More slides at all bases including home plate for close plays. New run down logic with better, more responsive change of direction animations. More over the top exciting plays. All new rob HR's, dives, sliding catch plays, tumbles, rolls, over running the bases, getting caught on a pick off leaning the wrong way, base runner line drive reactions,. Not only did we add a ton of game play animations for variety, we added the majority of them to make the game play and feel better. Robbing HR's, diving, picking off runners, stealing bases, hit by pitches, check swings, etc...
We have a whole new check swing system, three levels, it not only looks great but it feels just right. When you check your swing early, you get a very small check, all the way up to checking it late, where you held on to the swing for just a bit to long.
All new hit by pitch and avoid system for the batters. We captured over 60 animations for hit by pitches alone. The batter can now avoid or get hit by any pitch that comes his way. Based on the situation, the batter will react properly.
If there's a runner on third and there's a wild pitch, the batter will step out of the box and either tell the runner to advance by waving him in, or stay put. Ball 4 wild pitch he will take a look and then run down to first in case you want to try and advance him.
and much more.
We now have independent difficulties for pitching and for hitting. In addition B Ma has tweaked the pitching meter so now its more tuned to your input. (pitcher confidence and pitch confidence is still a major factor as well) However now your timing on the accuracy and velocity of the pitches mean more in the outcome than in did in MLB09."

That was very extensive. Not sure I even took it all in, however I'm disappointed that there wasn't any mention about commentary improvement. I was hoping we might get a more real sounding side by side broadcast, ala 2K10.
None the less, this is a week before hunt for this game. Not a release day purchase (although if it comes down to that, it'll have to do), but a hopeful find early!

Agree on all points.Danimal wrote:You get a PS3 for Blu-Ray, The Show is the added cherry on top. Seriouslly the PS3 is a better choice then many stand alone players, plus you get a great multi-media hub, oh yeah it plays games too and some of the exclusive are awesome.Zlax45 wrote:Every year I do this as The Show news starts coming out...Do I get a PS3 for this game???
At the end of he day if someone said I had to use only one machine for gaming it would still be my 360, but if I had to choose one machine for overall use it would be the PS3 no question.
I jumped in with a holiday bundle.I already had stand alone BR players,but damn the PStriple is sexy as hell.Great for SD DVD and CD playback as well.PS3 Media Server beats Tversity,360 Transcoder hands down.
Oh,and the Show is pretty much the only sports game I play now.

I bought a PS3 (Slimline) last fall after the price drop just for MLB. It's a great game but ultimately my 360 and LIVE turned my PS3 into a big dust collector. I'm not a big movie guy so the BR aspect did little for me. I sold my PS3 last week on craigslist.
