Wanted: Weapons of Fate-
I'm sure it was a terrible movie but this game was pretty damn fun. I wouldn't recommend paying the 8.99 or whatever to rent it because it is really short, probably only took 5 or 6 hours to beat it. But if you have Gamefly or Blockbuster unlimited rentals like I do it's worth checking out.

How did 2k9 make it to release with these issues?? Seems like it was rushed and not effectively tested.

My wife bought it for me, but after everything I read about it, we returned it & got the Show -- love it!

They switched developers and completely rebuilt the engine. It's obvious they re-used some stuff, but it's understandable that it was going to be buggy. It was really a crappy situation for them: if they didn't release a game, they'd lose out on a huge market (since it's really only "simultation" baseball game on all consoles). If they did, though... it was bound to be unstable.

I still can't get over how awesome The Show is. You actually walk people when you're the pitcher! Also: players with high discipline ratings will walk more than those without, even when you're controlling them! That's something I've wanted in a baseball game for a long, long time.

It's just unbelievable how well the game simulates actual baseball. It's basically High Heat with good graphics.

I seriously need to play the Show more -- only 3 games so far. I had fun with the first game and started throwing at the hitters -- fun! Finally got one to start to charge the mound and then the screen changed immediately to "pitcher ejected" and I needed to put another one in. I was hoping to see a few more seconds of the batter running to the mound!

If there was two outs then that is the correct call.

Perhaps I'm not being aggressive enough, but my main compliant with The Show's mechanics is I think I should be scoring a tad bit more when there is a runner on 2nd and I get a hit.

COD4 has this crazy fast pace that I hated at first but have grown to sort of enjoy. I know it's an old game, but I'm liking it.

I can't really play baseball on video games anymore. I've become such a nerd for the stats that I'd rather get Diamond Mind and trade Skip Schumaker.
