Side note: My first business as the replacement for Theo Epstein: Sign SP Roy Oswalt, sign SP Javier Vazquez, sign LF Hideki Matsui (all of them cheap), trade LF Alfonso Soriano (I still can’t believe the game let me dump his contract like that) and trade CF Marlon Byrd. I bumped the difficult down, and started hitting singles at least, but began pitching complete game shutouts. But immediately I went on a shutout streak, losing 0-2, 0-3, 0-1, 0-5, and so on for about a week (and after the first month, because I didn’t realize I needed to set my feet on defense, Starlin Castro led the MLB with like 12 errors - on pace for ~68 errors on the season). When I first got the game, I pumped the difficulty up one level because I have pitched a no-hitter or two in my time. At least in my case, I seem to be incapable of landing extra base hits with any consistency. There are also some apparent difficulty problems. I’m not sure if the company is required to pay a fee for however many players of whom they imitate the likeness, but it seems silly that games like Out of The Park and Baseball Mogul can have such immaculately filled out rosters with accurate ratings and aging curves, yet these fancy games can’t at least give us a courtesy Hak-Ju Lee. I am a little perplexed the game couldn’t get a more robust minor league system. And the MLB Today mode, which has you play whatever games your favorite team is currently playing that day, seems to have promise (because everything is still preseason, I have only played it a few times and with limited mirth). The franchise mode is not perfect, but it’s decent. The Superstar mode is fun and quick (my superstar, SS Brad Woods, is featured at the top of this page). One could reasonably while away their lonesome hours playing this game. For XBOX 360 owners, the MLB Show franchise has long been kept from us, and that’s a shame. But since not all of us are railroad aristocrats, we cannot afford such a fancy device. If you own a Playstation 3, you’re probably going to want to by MLB ’12 The Show.
