debating whether to order MLB 2k11. I really like the graphics. In particular, the overlays/stats and transition screens look wayyy better then MLB The Show. Am wondering if the 'My Player' mode is any good..?
I'd get it at that price. I'm still playing 2K10 and still enjoy the hell out of the game. My Player was surprisingly fun. It's a different take on RTTS but it's also a lot of fun. It's only $33 you cheap bastid. :)

Wow...first time I've ever read that a deciding factor in buying a game is the overlays and transition animations OUTSIDE of the game on the field. LOL...you're bound to be disappointed if you think those effects make a better game. :)

How did you stumble upon this deal Rodster? Nascar 11 for 36 bucks is going to be hard to pass up.

It was also on Slickdeals.net and techbargains.com

Was gonna post it but Rodster beat me to it by a few minutes.

the same for me. No MLB The Show 'shipping' notice.

I actually ended up cancelling my own order for MLB 2k11. Maybe i end up with neither..


side note: the peeps who order multiple copies of these titles (5, 10, etc) to profit, run my amps up. But that's America

I don't believe any of the orders for MLB The Show have shipped (only 2k11).

Some CAG members have begun to receive cancellation notices too. Apparently some decided to order 3-6-12 copies of the game to resell on Ebay when the deal went viral. That's what sucks about these deals when "El Hordo" finds out and tips off the company they have a problem and shutdown the deal and start handing out cancellation notices.

I still haven't received a cancellation notice for MLB 11 or the Nascar preorder but i'm not holding my breath i'll see either. At least I got MLB 2K11 which I wanted more than the Show. The Show is $10 off at Newegg.com till the 14th.

UPDATE: I just checked CAG and it looks like they are having trouble filling out all those orders but are going to take the HIGH ROAD and fill as many as they can. So sit tight and WAIT !

Modell's needs to tell all the Junior/wanna-be speculators, SOL. And proceed to ship to the legitimate customers

if you're attempting to cancel MLB The Show, don't bother.

received the email/cancellation notice today. Bad judgment on their part. They should've filled the single/legitimate orders. At least i can go back to not liking their store and not ever shopping there.

Yep. Was trying to cancel The Show, but just got an email that the order was cancelled on their part due to inventory issues. Sorry to hear for you guys who were wanting it, but it made my task easier.

Called them and the lady said mine was still under progress or something similar. I still see it says it's in stock but she hinted on the phone it may go to backordered and then I would be able to cancel it.

LoL. Posted via another site (CAG):


"I'll slander them on all the sports sites I visit if they cancel. I followed every rule and used their code. I find it shocking that a Modell would do something sneaky like cancel a order or move a team to another city... f*** Modell's!"
