If anyone is an advocate on the RLS, you can get MLB 11, a Show Rally towel and a Show shirt for $25.00 total.

Tried the game out for the first time tonight. Everything feels really similar to 10, as expected. Home Run Derby was a lot of fun. Analog controls work well enough, but I feel so used to the classic controls, that I don't really see the advantage to switching over at this point.
I played an exhibition just to try out the new analog mechanics. I got my ass handed to me. Like going back to how I was back when I got 08 and was so bad at the game.
Also, why the hell is Bobby Cox still the manager in the game? I know for a fact they announced Fredi as the manager a long ass time ago.

Yeah I think that's being handled in the Opening Day roster update... I hope they don't use the rookie excuse.Kill The Bat said:

Well, I actually did download a roster, but maybe I have to manually load it. I'll try that in a few and see if that makes any difference.

I hate how some of the managers aren't represented. What's that about?
Don Mattingly isn't managing the Dodgers. Instead, it's some black guy. Eric Wedge isn't managing the Mariners. Again, some black guy. Terry Collins also isn't managing the Mets.
It can't be an issue of new managers because Fredi Gonzalez is managing the Braves.

I think what happened is they didn't have the facial data for some of these guys (never were hitting/pitching coach before?) so now they're waiting until the start of the season to actually update them. Which means they'll wait until a week before/after the season starts to fix it...AnEternalEnigma said:

Supposedly, the Operation Sports full minors roster will be out by the end of the weekend.

This year Knight hired a lot of people from the forums and had one person do each team, as opposed to having his buds do everything and him doing them/overseeing it. Plus Knight himself is doing the Mets this year!DoctorWho said:

Holy shit this game is great. I played through the demo several times over the weekend and finally decided to pick it up today.
First full game, A's-RedSox in Fenway. I'm using Buchholz against Cahill. Game is tied 0-0 through the 8th when I pull Buchholz for Bard. Top of the 9th, second inning of work for Bard and Crawford allows a runner to reach 2nd on a throwing error with 1 out. Runner advances to third on the 2nd out and I get a 3-2 count to the A's SS. Since I got the hang of the analog pitching with the demo, I place a perfect slider in on the batter, swinging strike out.
The CPU finally pulls Cahill (who had 14 Ks; I've only managed 2 hits, a walk and one reached on error) and the first batter of the inning is Crawford. The reliever throws two strikes before Crawford takes it deep just inside the Pesky Pole--so awesome.
Too bad I had to use the Sox for that awesomeness.

Hey guys, I'm in Australia, desperately waiting for this game to arrive from overseas, and wondering if any of you would know if the MLB.TV redemption codes are still able to be used.
I am trying to see if my internet speed is ample and if it is capable of streaming before i purchase the MLB.TV package, but unlike the Iphone app, there are no 'free games' to watch.
I have an MLB.com login, but i do not have MLB.TV yet, so i was wondering if anyone had a spare 9-digit code, i can try to see if its worth me purchasing.
I know this is a huge ask, but i am hoping that someone on here would not be using one and could part with it, flinging it my way.
Cheers.
Also, is there any confirmation that the "Silver" and "Gold" era teams have been withdrawn from this iteration of The Show?

Ok, cheers.
So to reiterate, the codes start as of April 1 for 30 days. So no Spring training previews - and no way to test if it works just yet?
Cool.
As i dont think i get the code with the copy i purchased, i would still like to extend my interest in being given a code that someone doesnt want, please.

yes they do, I claimed mine day 1 when I bought the game
your sub is good through 30 days from opening day (so through April 30th) but you get spring training as well

Wow. Every game I have ends up decided by a single run. Why is it always like this in the MLB series? Feels so scripted. Just had a 15 inning game decided 2-1. Game before that was 1-0. Game before that was 8-7 (where I led 7-2). I don't know how people can argue scripted A.I. doesn't exist in this series. It's more obvious in The Show than any sports series I've ever played.
And has anyone else had a problem dropping fly balls? I'm talking guys being in perfect position, hand up, and the ball just goes by them an inch. Happened twice in one game for me and it was the reason I lost. Is this a glitch or is it just supposed to be an error? Been playing this series for years and I've never seen this happen once, let alone twice in a single game and now three times overall. Really weak stuff.

The only two close games I've played were decided by walk-offs (the first was described above; I led the second game 3-0 but allowed them to tie in the 8th before they won in the 9th). The rest were CPU blowouts where I gave them one big inning where almost all their runs were scored. I'm getting better but I've noticed the close games as well.
I'm also have trouble with line drives, even if the outfielder is lined up perfectly, the ball almost always gets by and rolls to the wall--I've given up 3-4 triples like this in 5 games played.

Maybe the strange fielding errors (or glitches) are being caused by the analog control? I'm all analog and loving it, but I wonder if this is happening with people who aren't doing analog fielding.

I've played three years with my RTTS player and not been injured once *knocks on wood* so I'd say they aren't doing that

The default Injuries setting for years has been too high. Set that to 3 at the highest.
There is a set of variables (in which Clutch ability plays strongly) that makes up the feared CPU Comeback. Many a OS guy has tried a slider tweak to eliminate it, many have failed. Only thing is to try and contain it...
Injuries seem really weird this year, or maybe the Mets are just hyper fragile. I played a game last week online and my opponent had the Mets. THREE pitchers got hurt and had to leave the game. Two within the first three innings.
Anyone have any luck sending/receiving challenges today? I don't get why they are having such problems with that feature. I was able to jump into a random game no problem (and whup up on the Tigers) but for the second weekend in a row was unable to play with friends.
I monkeyed around with batting cameras, Catcher 5 is fantastic. Check it out if you are having trouble hitting. It solves one of my main problems, which is recognizing low pitches.
