    Last week I posted up polls to gauge the reaction to MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10. The results are very interesting. While 2K10 fell about where would be anticipated, the general sense that there is growing discontent towards The Show has been confirmed. Given that the expectations for the two titles were completely different, the numbers are better looked at to analyze the games as individuals rather than for any sort of comparison. (more…)...

    After collecting over 46,000 votes based on 20 players faces from MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10, it is The Show that comes out on top with a score of 11-8-1. The biggest thing learned through the process and the voting results is that 2K has surged into the discussion and is now hit or miss, just like The Show, instead of terrible across the board as was the case last year.

    No one can reasonably expect a perfect game, there will never be one. However consumers do have a right to expect a finished game. What we have this year, with MLB 2K10 and MLB 10: The Show, are arguably unfinished games. They certainly at least released that way, with The Show needing a patch to clear up some big franchise problems and freezes while 2K10 needed one just so people could play online ranked games without getting stuck and having to restart their consoles. And in the case of the ...

    SCEA has announced that a second patch for MLB 10: The Show will be released tomorrow. It includes fixes intended to address some of the issues pointed out by the community including ones experienced in franchise mode and intentional walks causing freezes online. While we won't know if this patch was quickly created in response to some of the backlash that came after stating work wouldn't start on it until the end of the month, all that matters is that it is being delivered in a timely fash...
