Dynasty Musings: The Show is Still King

[nickaepi]

The only reason I haven't bought NBA 2k11 yet is because I'm still playing the show and can't stop. i have so many other games that have collected dust because of The Show's Franchise Mode. I still haven't even scratched the surface of RTTS mode, which I've heard is pretty addicting, also.

Yes I have to agree, the show is no doubt the king, just the depth of the game is amazing, especially the frannchise mode and RTTS. Sorry to hear Glenn, but once I started reading up on this game, I sold my xbox 360 and immediately bought this game and a PS3, I remember driving home thinking I am buying a PS3 for just one game? Well I haven't regretted it since.

I also went out and bought a ps3 just for the show back in 07. I don't even bother buying other games anymore because I play the show year round.

I don't care about baseball, but I wish they had the level of detail of this game on Madden. I would love real physics, instead of animations, to be added to the game as well.

Madden can show the on field play of football at a decent level, but it is poor at showing a realistic franchise/ownership mode. The game doesn't even have PS players or FA tenders.

The main reason I plan the Show over Madden and I think Madden is quite good, is how quickly you can actually do things in it. Madden's menus are sooooo slow, w/ the show it's responsive and moves quickly.

Good stuff, man. While The Show's menus aren't perfect (they need a save all lineup button for god's sake), they are at least extremely responsive.

The show trumps every sports game to date at this point (NBA 2K11 is very close though). Sure there are issues, but they pale in comparison to the issues some other games have.

If they never make another, The Show 10 would hold me over for quite a few years.

The Show is THE reason I bought a PS3 back in May. Nearly six months later, I'm still playing The Show and see no signs of slowing down. Heck, I feel like I still have a lot to learn about the game; I'm getting ready to try out 30-team control and Manager Mode in my next franchise (I've got 2 other franchises going that I'm 50 games into).

Like Knight said, give us some more ticker updates during games and maybe a weekly highlight show but other than that, The Show is heads and shoulders above the other sports games out there. NBA 2K and NCAA 11 do offer a lot to the user and shouldn't be dismissed, but in terms of overall package, The Show is No. 1.
