And the MLB Today mode, which has you play whatever games your favorite team is currently playing that day, seems to have promise (because everything is still preseason, I have only played it a few times and with limited mirth). The franchise mode is not perfect, but it’s decent. The Superstar mode is fun and quick (my superstar, SS Brad Woods, is featured at the top of this page). One could reasonably while away their lonesome hours playing this game. For XBOX 360 owners, the MLB Show franchise has long been kept from us, and that’s a shame. But since not all of us are railroad aristocrats, we cannot afford such a fancy device. If you own a Playstation 3, you’re probably going to want to by MLB ’12 The Show.
(For some users, that might be a pro, not a con.)
