That's why I loved 2K's Hitters Eye. Even if you're a bad player, Hitters Eye can help you out when hitting with a premier stick.

This is why I like psy so much. Good hitters have a larger cursor making it easier to hit with them than a poor hitter who will have a smaller cursor. This way the good hitters will have a higher avg. than poor hitters all the while giving the user ultimate control.

I guess its just how the coding is implemented and how you play but with the Show I find it FEELS very predictable or force at key moments regardless of who its favors hu or cpu but with EA NHL 14 if you can find the proper sliders which isnt easy the game can be incredible , semi sim and very fun .

EA NHL and the show are very similar IMO coding wise but as much as I like the Show its just little fun on a replay value over time so hopefully RBI can bring some fun back with real player interaction based off of real stats and attributes and not some randomness that makes little sense at times other than saying thats just baseball as a answer/excuse for poor AI and coding .

I like alot of what MLB 2k did later on but too little to late and visually I couldnt even play it as it hurt my eyes and thats sad as MLB 2k7 looked better than most , I hate Ben Brinkman .

See like with NHL I can understand things adjust things and feel like I played a role win or lose questionable or not and have a good taste in my mouth but with the Show not so much .

I agree. There are times it seems like no matter what pitcher you have, or what pitch you throw, certain guys are going to hit off of you no matter what.
I played the same game (MLB13) against the Yanks, 4x in a row, and in each one, Ellsbury got a hit in his first AB regardless of who I had on the mound.

But my biggest gripe against The Show is that the pitcher-hitter dynamic has gotten extremely stale.
After using 2K's analog pitching and having Hitters Eye, I found MLB to be really boring.
I'm well aware of 2K's shortcomings, but for my money, no other ball game has captured the fun and intensity of the pitcher-hitter dynamic like it did.
The game was just flat-out fun.

That's why I'm hoping RBI has something similar. It doesn't have to be perfect, or as pretty as the other games out there.
I just hope it's more sim than arcade and that it's fun.
But if not, I'll go back to 2K13.

The only part of 2k I loved more than the show was the broadcast presentation. I probably mentioned this somewhere in these forms, but being visually impaired, much of my critical thoughts are always towards the sound, because that's the main factor for me. Its never a deal breaker, I play almost every baseball game because I love the sport, but its still great when a game has awesome commentary. If I had to rate the games over the years in terms of that, 2k with Jon Miller was the best, followed by All-star baseball, then the show. The Mlb slugfest series guys were awesome, used to love the pre-game jokes.

Off topic here but quick question, I never played 2k13 how did it compare to 2k12, worth the upgrade as small as it would be?

PS3 - Not a whole lot of difference other than updated rosters (you can get 2K12 rosters too, though), new playoff format and Astro's in AL.

Other than that, I wouldn't say there's a lot that changed.

The 360 version includes the patch that was released for 2K12 - so no stutter after foulball and no rocket arms by catchers when flipping back to the pitcher.

Yeah the show is like that but most dont play enough to notice its huge flaws and as I said before MLB 2k at the end was pretty fun and very interactive but visually I just couldnt accept it .
