MLB 06 The Show Exhibition: Giants vs Mariners

I was always jealous of people who had MLB The Show. In the sixth-seventh generations we had a 360 and a Wii. I stood by MLB 2K and gazed at the realistic competitor from afar. It was the catalyst for me coveting a PS3 for a long time. My first experience came in portable form with PS Vita (wild if we can record that someday). It has as much of Franchise as you can ask for so I was fulfilled. I've dabbled in PS4 editions but not at length like I used to in 2K.
There was a spell when I planned Franchise in 06 and some songs are a reason to come back. "Everything is Alright" and "Prototype" were immediate adds to my playlist 😎 They sound along the lines of what my older siblings would have been listening to at the time. Even "Back Again" by Dilated Peoples is kind of an earworm lol. That introduction POV'ing the outside of Safeco was awesome. Had to have been mind-blowing back then 😯 Commentary breaks down specific stars in pre-game and starting lineups impressively. They did well to mask clear name audio inserts by Vasgersian enough where I thought it was seamless at first.
I'm likely going to feature Bonds Giants teams in other baseball games. Mariners get love here for Ichiro, rookie backstop Kenji Johjima, and burgeoning Felix Hernandez. King Felix would have been on the mound if I was allowed to appoint starters.
