Some of you act like this kind of thing doesnt go on all the time. There is no comparing the two platforms in the game of baseball. If you bought 2k10 on release day, you paid 60 for a far inferior product (and we arent just talking a few jagged edges there). I mean I have wondered aloud for years how whomever makes price point decisons at 2k can allow the baseball product to go out for $60, but it happens and people buy it (or it happens because people buy it, whatever).

These games have to go out with the same price point for these minor issues that occur across platforms. How upset would you be if I paid $10 less because my game has some occasional jagged edges a slight delay that only happens once in a while. You'd be screaming for a few jaggies and a rebate.

Xbox players would have a whole field of baby cows. I know I would.

I mean seriously, I cant pay $10 more for better floor lighting and a few better textures. I got mouths to feed lol.

Also, there I am sure is a back end cost to fixing up the game. I dont know what's involved but I have a feeling it is more than game developers just being lazy. Its all about dollars and cents and if they fix my game as a PS3 owner , chances are that cost is getting spread to EVERYBODY.

To clarify, I meant that MLB 2k10 on xbox is a far inferior game to MLB 10 the Show on PS3.

I don't think ps3 owners want a discount. I think they rather have the ps3 version be on par with the 360 instead of 2K putting Move controls and 3D support in the game.

Can't we talk about what's actually in the game and not what it looks like?
If you want to know about graphics, read the reviews for the PS3 version and see what they say about graphics. I want to know more about the game itself!

I understand but I just think some of the reaction or overreaction to what is being said about the PS3 version is somewhat hyperbolic.

The casual gamers arent going to notice or care and the hardcore guys know the issues and can make their purchase choices accordingly. If you are a PS3 owner, by all means, let yourself be heard on this issue but the fact is that the group of PS3 issues who 1) notice and 2) care enough to let it affect their buying decison is, and always will be minute. Maybe that is the point that is being made, that more people should care but it wont happen unless and until the gameplay or the game features are radically different in the two games.

There is no way that I personally am going to allow a few smoother textures on a game system that I dont even own keep me from getting one of the best if not the best sports game of the year.

I am not calling anyone out, I am using the word "you" in the general sense. To each his own

Of course, differences b/w 2 versions of a product are not equal to slavery. But that much is obvious. That was not a comparison. That was an analogy. It was to illustrate that "i'm ok with that" does not cancel out the situation. Things are not also so literal; some obvious were capable of getting the analogy and its inherent meaning, and some couldn't. I apologize for not being able to cater to everyone's comprehension; nothing much I can do about that.

Yea I didn't understand this one either. Weird how McMillan isn't in the game as a player.

Question on final version of the game:

1. Is on-court players talking in the PS3 retail version? It was obvoiusly there in the 360 demo (saw videos on youtube), but that was not in the PS3 demo. Is it in?

2. Did floor reflections improve in PS3 retail? Comparing the demos, PS3's reflections were toned way down, hardly noticable (especially mid-court, where 360's is clear). Any improvement on this front for PS3?
