This Major League simulation is a baseball purist's dream.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a straightforward simulation of Major League Baseball. Players control one of the game's 32 teams to try and lead them to World Series glory. MLB 10: The Show is playable online, a feature Common Sense Media does not recommend to children under the age of 12.
Educational value:
A very good way to learn about baseball, such as strategies, rules, and terminology.
Positive role models:
The game emphasizes teamwork, and gives the player opportunity to make big plays.
Ease of play:
Controls border on complex, but nailing down the basics doesn't take long. As players move through a game, instructions pop up that teach how to play. Batting is centered on two buttons: a contact swing and power swing. The pitching is slightly more advanced, as players choose one of 4-5 pitches, and make timed button presses to execute a perfect throw. Face buttons map to the baseball diamond, so fielding and making throws to the appropriate base is straightforward.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Various baseball related sponsors pop up on stadium billboards such as Upper Deck.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

AMAZING GAME! Not only is it realistic and fun, but it brings baseball right into your tv. It's just baseball, no harm at all, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under 10, just from the difficulty of play.

MLB 10 is a good game.
This game is great, really good fun and will even get your kids to go outside and try out some baseball moves. Won't even cost a thing to get the game if you did what i did, I signed up at this link gifts4points*/home?ref=amirshaw and did a few surveys and got the game free, but overall this game is great.
