That's what they've done. Even NBA 2K took years to get to where it is today. VC has had a year and a half with MLB 2K. Good games don't suddenly grow in a day or a year.

I have just downloaded the MLB 2K11 demo. Having been playing The Show the last couple of years I thought I would check out the opposition. I really like the way the game feels. However visually the game is way short of The Show. Could anyone tell me if there is much difference in the visuals on the full game as opposed to the demo? The demo was played on the 360. Thanks.

I'm really enjoying this game. I think I look at it in comparison to 2K8, and I see how far it has come. It plays a nice game of baseball, and it still has the analog system that it started.

Just a nice, fun game to play.

The following is simply my thoughts on the game.

I have played the demo for both 2K and The Show.

To me, this "rivalry" is similar to that of NHL 2K and EA.

What is boils down to is that some people can't see past the glitz and polish, and get to the "nitty-gritty" of what the game was designed to do.

Provide an as accurate as possible recreation of the sport and its participants.

While I feel that 2K and The Show both do a tremendous job recreating Baseball, both have their own strengths and weaknesses, as is the case with any game.

For me, 2K dominates in terms of the controls, the commentary, the overall presentation (graphic overlays, pitching/batting cameras, etc) and the fun factor.

A minor plus for me is also the install size and the recent price drop. 2K only required 20mb, whereas The Show requires over 4GB. When you are dealing with a smaller hard drive, as I am, its nice to have that extra space to enjoy other games.

Can't go wrong with a game, that currently, is $20 cheaper than its competition, and will provide numerous hours of enjoyment!

Thats just my 2 cents.
