That's besides the point. How can you claim with any certainty one is better than the other, when you've never played either of them?

Scott, I disagree, I've played both. I'll stick with the Show's.

I think the difference between the bugs in both games is that, The Show's you can mostly avoid from a on-the-field/controls perspective (which is obviously most important aspect to any game), but in 2K, many bugs are gameplay related, which makes them way more frustrating.

Completely agree on both points.

The situation specific commentary in particular is unmatched in the Show.

Yeah I agree. I just played it again at my friends house. And there was a lot of repeats.

other people said that they think that 2k9s commentary is better. I respect that you like the shows better, but from the videos which are in game footage 2k9 is better, even if it's just a little better.

I own both games. Just as I have for the last 3 or 4 years.

It's all subjective, but it's impossible to make a claim one is better than the other strictly from game videos. It's absurd to we're even arguing that point.

I have never played any sports game with the amount of varied commentary for so many team,player and most importantly game specific situations.

So for me, I'll take the Show. Purely my opinion, but I've actually played both games in order to make that judgment.

Can you honestly say the show commentary is better?
