I have started playing my latest video game acquisition MLB 11: The Show in earnest now as I work my way through spring training. I love this game. It is the most realistic baseball game I have ever played. The graphics, the features, the way it plays, the realism down to the last detail. Its all great!
The realism of the game is so good, it almost mirrors my playing days. The self-proclaimed "Bob Uecker of Little League Baseball" still can't hit a changeup, swings at pitches in the dirt and two or three feet outside of the strike zone, and is a sucker for an outside slider with two strikes. I have played about 20 games so far and I don't think I have drawn one base on balls, not even an intentional one. It is a classic case of life imitating art and this game is baseball art in its purest form.
I am a huge Los Angeles Dodgers fan and I love being able to manipulate the 40 man roster and to be able to control their farm teams. I have to be honest and admit that I have never played the most recognizable feauture "Road to the Show", where you create a player and take him from the minors to the majors, in this game. I can't seem to want to play anything other than the franchise mode. I have never played online either but I have plenty of time to get my butt kicked by some 12 year old in Butte, Montana.
