Oh...that...

Don't count.

Yeah i agree with that. I would love to see a guys value rise or drop due to the performance during the season. Rather than the standard pre-set ratings that you mentioned. It would had a whole new dynamic to the game and they payer you would use.

I am on board with this completely!

I agree with the choice of The Show 09 over MVP 05. I played both extensively. I think The Show 10 is better than 09 though. MVP 05 was great....with the mods!!! Without the mods it was lacking in realism. And no game ever got right the pitch count better than The Show has. The thing I really liked with MVP though was the baserunning controls. They were perfect. I could control any runner very intuitively and with complete confidence. The Show really needs to just duplicate that.

I agree, that is one thing I love about the show, the ability to have almost a sim type game. I put my MVP game in yesterday just to fire it up for old times sake and it just didn't seem to realy for me. Don't get me wrong the mods are great, and if they could somehow get all the stadiums into the show I would probably never buy another game again.
