Back in the swing

After getting further along in my RTTS career, I am really enjoying MLB 09: The Show. It took a long while to get my player up to a level where he could do more than hit singles, but now that he is there The Show is great fun once again. Some are criticizing this game because it doesn't do anything revolutionary. But The Show was already an A1 game to begin with. This iteration simply refines the game play that was already present and makes it better. That is nothing to sneeze at. It is a very well done game, one of the finest sports titles yet made. What gives me tremendous hope for later in the year is that the producers of Madden Football have taken notes on what makes The Show so good and are incorporating some of the same theories into Madden. So the evolution of The Show could lead to a revolution of Madden Football.
