Release Date:Tue, 02 Mar 2010]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:00:00 +0000 http://www.g-hacks.net/topic/2210-major-league-baseball-2k10-ps3-rp/ http://www.g-hacks.net/topic/2209-mlb-10-the-show-ps3-rp/ MLB 10: The Show is set again to provide fans with the best baseball experience this console generation with even more features and modes destine to quicken the heart, raise the stakes, and hurl you further into a true MLB baseball experience. Holding more than 81% market share on the PS3 system, more than 70% market share across all PlayStation platforms, and the #1 selling baseball franchise in video game history, The Show is proving once again to be the industry’s premier licensed Major League Baseball (MLB) game, both critically and commercially. The long awaited Home Run Derby leads the deep features list in MLB 10 The Show for PS3. Fully implemented in the season modes and available as a stand alone feature, Home Run Derby follows the current MLB rules and flow. The MLB All-Star Futures Game will also be available within season modes in its correct timeframe (just before the Home Run Derby), as well as fully functional online leagues. Additional new features for the PS3 game include "Catcher Mode," the ability to call the game as the catcher, select pitches, and be the ultimate field general, just like Joe Mauer. MLB 10: The Show will also offer daytime transitional lighting, a newly added "Movie Maker" menu giving the user the ability to select multiple replays to add to and edit a single movie, and 11 new stadiums. Five new Minor League stadiums will be introduced, as well as a selection of classic parks available on the PS3 for the first time including Forbes Field, Crosley Field, The Polo Grounds, Shibe Park, Sportsman Park, and Griffith Stadium.

Preorder MLB 10 and receive a code to download 6 classic stadiums:

• Shibe Park When it opened April 12, 1909 in Philadelphia, it became the first steel-and-concrete stadium in Major League Baseball® history.
• Forbes Field Opened in 1909, was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates and was witness to a World Series-winning 9th inning home run in 1960
• Polo Grounds Opened in 1890, was known for its extremely deep center field (483 ft) and unique bathtub shape. The "Shot Heard Around the World" home run was hit here.
• Crosley Field was a Major League ballpark located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the home field of the National League Cincinnati Reds from 1912 through June 24, 1970
• Sportsman's Park was built in St. Louis in 1902. Left-handed power hitters loved hitting here, including a Hall of Famer who hit two epic home runs on consecutive days, shattering the same window twice in the car dealership across the street.
• Griffith Stadium stood in Washington, D.C. from 1911 to 1965. Not only was it was over 400 feet down the left field line, the outfield took an unusual right-angled jut into center field due to the unwillingness of nearby houses to sell to the ballclub during construction of the stadium.
