funny one con is that the computer batters are super skilled, All my games have been low scoring against the computer and I can strike them out.

but I do agree with other cons.

I thought it was AA. Anyway I laughed when I was making the title. I had AAE and then I was like "better not stirr something" lol.

I honestly expected AAA, but a great score nonetheless.

Still better than the EA offerings :P

I'm both surprised and not surprised.

I could see this happening, but I don't see why it happened since by most other accounts so far this year's game is an improvement on last year's. It's not really logical.

Also their was no official hype.

Improving on an old formula doesn't necessarily mean you should score the same. The standards raise with yearly installment games to keep delivering unexpected and excellent features. Being a better game doesn't alway mean deserving a better score.

MLB 10: The Flop?

So I looked at the review and it got the "punishing difficulty" demerit. I think a baseball game would grow extremely boring if every game was a blowout. Plus, the AI has "supernatural batting abilities". Has the reviewer not seen some of the roid junkines in the MLB. They are superhuman

Personally dont care much for the series, or the sport of baseball at all for that matter, but is it just me or is GS cracking down on games?

Haha it's funny because I'm pretty sure most people agreed that this one would be exclusive (There was one thread that listed all the differences and it sounded different enough) But it didn't even manage to get AAAE while it's predecessor which isn't exclusive did.

Solid score but I'm pretty apathetic on baseball games.

I wonder if PS3 fans are going to campaign for this to be considered an AAE as they campaigned for 09's AAAE status last year. :P

Pretty good for releasing the game just one year after the prequel, I wonder where the usual complaints are... you know like Madden every year sucks thing..

I didn't say it did. But being a better game usually doesn't mean scoring a point less.

Not surprised.

Most sequels score lower than their predecessors. 8.0 is a solid score though.

Good score although now we can have the cows shut up about being ahead of the 360 in terms of AAAE's

And you get to keep your pride. :P

My pride for what?? 360 still has more AAA, AA games than PS3. It's only cows who seem to believe exclusives games are the only ones that exist

It's just that it was heavily hyped as the next AAAE for the PS3 is all.

What BS

The game is realistic and realistically enough you can't expect to be playing baseball and just swing the bat and hope to hit:|

This game actually catches the difficulty of reading a pitcher and if anything GOW 3 should swap scores with this
