@DoofyJr How about Be A Fan Mode? Select your favorite team, what your going to wear (like your team jersey or just casual clothes), buy some soda and peanuts, and watch and react to the game... Then leave...

On every single sports game they review, they minus points for "no new game modes," It makes sense, because if the developers don't add in team deathmatch, the mode list will be lacking.

i hate in mlb 11 the show, how when i think i can make the throw from outfield to home i would throw it to the cut-off man and he wouldnt throw to home plate.....also if i its hit to the outfield and i try to throw to third or somewhere, it wouldnt throw to there....

@AceofSpades91919 And EA stopped making MVP because Take-Two (who owns 2K) worked with the MLB to lock EA out. They didn't "settle" for the MLB license. Try doing your research before bitching about mine. I'm saying that EA picking up the MLB license again would be a mixed bag. I'm a PS3 owner and already play The Show, which took anything good to come out of EA's series and has had six years to improve on it. The only way they'd turn major sales is by targeting 2K's market share specifically.

[AttackoftheSequels]

@AceofSpades91919 Don't patronize me. I still have NFL 2K5 for Xbox and All-Pro Football 2K8 for PS3. Despite how great a game 2K5 was, don't let nostalgia blind you. If 2K8 showed us anything, it's that the system needs to be modernized. Frames dropped, playbook selection was lacking, and the presentation in every department took a huge hit with the loss of the NFL and ESPN licenses. 2k5 was an incredible game of football, but this is 2012, it needs some major updates to the feature set.

[AceofSpades91919]

@AttackoftheSequels You clearly haven't done your research. Back in 2004 2k made NFL 2k5 which was one of the best football games and still is. If you look at gameplay you will not see what I mean, you have to play it to understand why it is good. In 2005 Sony already has rights to the MLB. The NFL is giving rights to EA or 2k, EA jumps on it and gets it first (with NCAA and Madden, EA just decided to giveup on the MVP franchise). 2k settled for MLB rights. Both are making a mockeryOFthoseSPORTS

[AttackoftheSequels]

It just didn't make much sense. MLB doesn't sign exclusivity deals and The Show picked up everything EAs baseball games did right and improved on them. That's why EA shelved the MVP series after 2005. And as for 2K's football games, they made one back in 2007 and everyone shit on it because it didn't have the NFL license. If they made another one, they'd have to cannibalize 2K8's engine as a source for a whole new one in order to stand up to Madden. Wishful thinking.

[AceofSpades91919]

@AttackoftheSequels You didn't understand what I was trying to say. I was trying to say that EA needs to switch with 2k, I know Sony makes these games. MVP Baseball games were amazing and 2k football games were amazing. Now 2k has the rights to baseball games and EA has the rights to football games. 2k baseball games suck and Madden looks good, but it really isn't good. I was responding to the guy who said that EA should make some baseball games again, that's why I said what I said.

[AttackoftheSequels]

@AceofSpades91919 EA hasn't made a baseball video game since MVP Baseball 2005. The Show is from Sony San Diego.
