I rented this game, and I must say, I am REALLY impressed with it. The graphics make you feel like your right in the ballpark, the overall gameplay is smooth, the Off-Season goes by MUCH faster, and is MUCH more realistic, with the FA Comp. and the waivers and all that. Haven't tried Road to the Show, but it's an easy 10 stars for me. The best overall sports game on the market. Awesome game.

Once you try RTTS you'll never look back. That's why I started my Franchise first and am going to work on that for a while. Because I know that as soon as I start my RTTS guy I'm going to put the franchise on the backburner.

It's weird. Sony's attempt at a basketball game was horrid but 2ksports raped.

Sony's baseball game much better than 2k's though imo.

So your saying I should get this game?

n/m I pulled the trigger and got it.

So, I have the game on pause, and sitting online chatting to someone, when I hear in the PA announcement.

"Fans sitting behind home plate, if you get on your cell phone and wave to your friends, you will be imprisoned for 20 years."

Finally starting to hit the ball better. Knocked one out with ManRam and he stares at the ball leaving the yard just like he does in real life. Hilarious.

remember last year they had the beach ball that would get on the field? Well same thing this year except now it makes the payer look like a moron.....lol

my guy went to pick it up and it blew away, so he stood there for a second and walked to it again and it blew away again.....lol, 3rd try and he got it and whacked it into the stands

man I just suck at batting.

i bite on everything.


i've been playing RTTS, about 100 games into season (missed about 40 on DL) and am struggling.

had to drop it down to veteran and turn on strike zone cause I was just eating shit far too often on HOF.

I strikeout like 1/3 the time lol. But if i was healthy all season my stats would stretch out to about 60 RBI's and about 25 doubles. So i'm happy there.

But I've had 5 walks in 180 AB's and am batting only .245 at the AA level.

never had so much fun sucking at a game tho, that's for damn sure.

I'm guessing once I get my guy's ratings cranked after a couple seasons of AA I'll start to dominate and work up the ranks?

I can never understand why that is. Just imagine if Sony could do with basketball what they do with baseball.
