I've been a huge fan of The Show for years now (since the demise of All Star Baseball) and it is without question the best baseball franchise I've ever played (although Japan's Pro Yakyu Spirits gives it a run for it's money... it's hard to appreciate that game though when you can't read Japanese...the gameplay is phenomenal though). I haven't gotten MLB 11 yet because a few months ago my PS3 shit the bed (yellow light "of death") and it isn't under warranty anymore and I just don't have the money to go buy a new one. I look forward to hopefully playing the game sooner rather than later though.
I look forward to seeing everyone's comments on the game. And if anyone has any experience with the blinking yellow light issue, or how to fix it please let me know. I came across a tutorial, but it looked so complicated (involved completely disassembling the console, using a heat gun, and a whole bunch of other scary shit) that I didn't want to even mess with it for fear of fucking it up worse than it already was. It's not too bad though, I very rarely play video games anymore (except when the Show comes out lol), and I like to wait until Knight releases his famous full-minors rosters over on Operationsports.com before I start a franchise anyway, which isn't usually until around opening day.
So for now I'll continue reading everyone's comments until I'm either able to fix my PS3 or get a new one. I'm looking forward to using the analog hitting controls though. I wonder if it's anything like the analog controls of the MVP College Baseball game.
