And for me, that has to be in the hitting dept. and the inclusion of a zone hitting system.

to me it looks like the faces of players are clear
unlike last years

Okay, I see what you're saying there.

The colors 2K keep using are sometimes far away from reality. For example Delmon Young's helmet looks like as if it's made out of velvet and that blue has nothing in common with the real color. It should be a real dark navy blue that almost looks black. I also don't think the lighting effects look very realistic. Same goes for the Rangers grey road unis. The afternoon sun never can make such an impact to give these unis that yellowish-grey hue.

But commentary has always been way better compared to MLB The Show.

don't even call it commentary on the show
they barely talk & they are so disconnected

Commentary is the only true weakness of MLB The Show. But at some point every commentary gets repetitive, so I have no problem at all to ignore that.

on 2k i don't get bored of it

i went got a ps3 for the show and regretted it

the hitting is easy the commentary is way off

MLB The Show is a true simulation while MLB 2K is rather arcadish.

Visuals are better but still way behind the competition. That said 2K do the best job in recreate the broadcast aspect of the game.
