when it comes to sports games, I don't care much for GS anymore. For crying out loud they gave NBA 2k11 an 8.0. Good score, but too low for one of the best sports games ever created.

Validation.

I will stick with my copy of '09.

I sure hope this series doesn't go the Madden route.

Honestly that's a lot lower then what I expected. The game is fantastic. Probably the best baseball sim I've ever played.

Cows thank the stars it's not an exclusive, lems get mad that they get the crappy baseball game. Sheep on the other hand, are probably waggling already trying to nail that home run in a cartoony baseball game that has bobble head players.

True but IGN also gave it an 8.0. LOL just checked only 6 reviews. Let's wait for at least 30 to start making not even close comments, please.

It's exclusive. AFAIK Casey agreed to it in Shinra's MLB 11 exclusive thread.

This game had no hype, the only threads made about it was about it's Meta score and whether it was an exclusive or not.

There wasn't one ... and I'm sure with last years 8.0 score people weren't expecting a 9.0 score from GS. Also due to MLB 11 scoring AAE, the 360 and PS3 are now tied for last place this gen :O

MLB flopped last year but there was no hype this year because of the huge PS3 exclusive line up that's available for fanboys to cling to.:P Funny how that works doesn't?:P

Also that thread was about if it's exclusive or not and Casey said it is after Shinra had asked if it was, so that's another AAE for the PS3.:) It's catching up to the 360 in terms of AAE, so cows be happy.:P

Then what on Earth measures or dictates the hype? As far as i'm aware they are still used to some extent (though the "official" may be left out).

MLB 09 got a 9.0 back in 09 Chicken.:P ... Ha! 09... 9.0... in 09...:P

It wasn't deemed as exclusive so last year, we had a debate, in a similar fashion to GRAW and it was deemed exclusive but flopped.:P

No one really mentioned it this year and it was deemed exclusive this year as well so it's basically a random AAE for the PS3.:P

I am joking MLB 11 is still the the best baseball game out now. I think 2k sports should take lessons from it and maybe they could have a good baseball game. :)

Yeah it had hype at the AAA level.

It can't have hype if it doesn't have a hype thread... smh

Well of course not.

Sports games are not high on the priority list for the majority of people here. The Show is only used as ammo against the 360 especially after 09 scoring a 9.0.

Before 10 came out there was a mass of cows who did everything they could to prove it was an exclusive game which worked in the end, but the game scored an 8.0 last year.

So of course roll around to this year cows, who never cared about the game in the first place other than the score, see that it's not a guaranteed AAA, so they don't care to hype it anymore.

I know right? lol. COD seems to be a franchise immune to this. Even Pokemon got hit hard, but COD keeps pumping the same ol crap year after year with no diminishing returns lol.

Hey, if I were into baseball i'd no doubt be into these games as well. They are defo high quality!

Yeah it's kinda disheartning but hey it is SW.:P I'm sure they play games whenever they aren't on the internet searching for ways to own people on SW.:P

I'm not a baseball fan but I can see the quality in these MLB outings.:) Imagine what they could do with the NFL license.:P
