..and neither am I. You misunderstood my post and honestly I'm a bit tired of explaining myself to you.

Later.

Well seeing how this thread has gone to poop...I'm bailing out.
I'm one of the people that will also buy both. When there's competition the natural thing to do is compare the games. Comparing The Show with 2K isn't being a fanboy of either especially when the poster (like me) will be buying both. It's trying to get things we like in each game into the other game.
It's fine saying 2K is on a 3 year plan but when year 3 gets here and there are still issues how many people will get all huffy when someone posts a negative about something that should have been fixed by then.
I've made some complaints in The Show threads and it's never got this bad in regards to retaliatory posts and "fanboy" statements.

Definitely didn't mean to make you or anyone feel this way. You are someone I would like to hear comparisons from, since you'll be playing both.

I'm done getting huffy... I always tell myself to think before posting and sometimes I don't listen to myself. My fault.

What I found is the most defensive posters about baseball games are 360 owners. Coz they are "forced" to own 2k8 for a baseball game. The Ps3 owners are generally much more open minded....why? because they can own BOTH games. I'm sure there are ps3 trolls running around....but it seems like 360 exclusive owners get so defensive when others criticize their ONLY baseball choice.

so mizzourah.....I'm guessing you don't own a ps3

ps.- there were a couple of exclusive 360 owners last year, who basically found reasons to say 2k7>> show 07.....this year they bought a ps3....and suddenly the show series is the best since sliced bread and won't even look at the 2k series....I'm afraid you might be the third when 2009 rolls around

I'm sure passive-aggressively calling the 360-only guys close-minded will solve everything. I don't have a PS3, but I do have Comcast cable. Aren't I enlightened enough?

Good post.

Sadly though, it's just the effect these licensing agreements have had. It's only going to continue this way.

As much as people joke about the "fanboy wars" back when there were 3 games of the same sport... I actually miss those days.
