Loving this game. Finally you can'thold on to the ball forever, great music.

Akward terrible golf game without accurate mathematics in any capacity. Putting is too easy, driving is really bad, no numbers involved at all, questionable physics.

Any coaching or actual football knowledge is gone the wayside. Can you chuck the ball deep and exploit players fake attributes? Not me.

I can't even get online. The game is worse than last year. All they had to do was update the roster and take my money but they messed that up.

Been playing MLB THE SHOW every year since ps2 online. Last year I was a top 200 player. I've was number 2 for an extended period of time in 08. The change to pitching is unacceptable, I'm selling mine on Ebay right now. So sad, my favorite game was destroyed. The new Pitching is like **** but much more frustrating because you don't get a finish. Gone are the days of relaxing and playing the show all summer. Maybe next year they will wise up.

Repetitive game play that is narrative and talking point driven. We could debate weather it's a game or an interactive propaganda movie/comic. One things for sure, we have seen this movie 100 times now. Once you reach a certain age, you loose ambition for talking points and you hunger for pure new art. This doesn't qualify

The best game of the year, only reason it gets one bad review is over a historical inaccuracy that is largely irrelevant unless you're using the game to teach college level foreign policy. Online is the best ever.

The Rant begins CLUNKY in the controls, this itself is an unforgivable clumsiness that in my 30 years of gaming I would compare to BART VS THE SPACE MUTANTS on NES. I have beef with the teasing open world view and the linear game play that comes with it. I also want you to remember my review when you are transported to the moon while walking through camp, yes you can't run in your own camp, you must walk slow, a zero gravity slow like Neil Armstrong on the moon. I hear his voice while walking through camp. "That's one small step...." You are forced to walk back and fourth through camp like this to do tedious tasks such as shave,Eat, put money in a piggy bank, help shop for groceries...every anointing task of your life is here, i'm sure later there is a mission where you must wipe your crack clean. The missions are annoying things I want to skip over to get to the rest of the game...that doesn't exist. Enjoy driving a wagon, you will be doing it for hours, don't get you wagon stuck either, your painful and I mean painfully slow wagon. Careful in town too, if you accidentally bump into someone with the clunky controls the whole town may find you in contempt and shoot you too your death. Oh I almost forgot, your hat falls off all the time, if you play through the game you will spend hours on switching and swapping your hat, i'm serious. The actual content of play makes me wonder if I would enjoy a game with a constant button sequence to press more than this. The realism is terrible too, they actually show dead deer being hung on a gambrel without being gutted. You ride with an ungutted deer 5 miles back to camp and start to butcher it without gutting it. I think the Devs must have lacked some real world experience to say the least. The hunting is a complete joke and waste of time. I also wish to condemn the horse riding itself as it is clunky and you hit something and go flying and have to pick up your hat before getting back on. I am a Rockstar fan boy, I played GTA on ps1 as a teenager, I love in depth games with expansive RPG characteristics like Final Fantasy, Castlevania Symphony of the night, Metroid, Ogrebattle, I love long games, hard games. The days of Rockstar getting by on taboo subject matter and atmospheric bliss are over, the games have changed again and this linear boorish style is not coming along.I'd rather play GUN for ps2 or Sunset riders for SNES, Blood Brothers, Gunsmoke for NES, I would much rather play the original GTA with Birdseye view than this. There are better games than this that came out this year like Mega Man 11, Mega man X collection, COD or the last few years, XCOM, Mario Odyssey. If you have played BOTW it renders this abomination unplayable. I think I will go play Castlevania for NES to wash this hideous taste out my mouth. (The struggle is the glory)
