NEED HELP PLEASE :) - The Show vs. MLB 2K9

[mcooper11]

Hello,

I was wondering if you all could help me out. I recently bought a Playstation 3 with a basketball game and want to pre-order one of the 2 baseball games about to come out.

I have heard many bad things about MLB2K8 and was wondering if everyone would recommend going with MLB The Show 2009?

I do not use online play however I am a HUGE fan of dynasty modes and making players.

I also have XBox 360. If you would recommend one platform over the other, I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you all SOOOO much for your help! I GREATLY appreciate it!!!!

The Show series > MLB2k series

Any game that is multiplatform created before this year get on 360.

If you have a PS3 and 360 then pre-order the show 09 for the PS3. I would wait for some 2K info before making a decision on that game. Either way, you are sitting pretty good with both systems.

After seeing the videos I saw this morning, I think The Show just won by default.

Lol.


I want to be pleasantly surprised with MLB 2k9 like I was with NHL 2k9. I thought that game was going to be horrible. Even though it wasn't an EA game (), I still had fun with it.

lol...I think we all want to be pleasantly surprised by 2K9 (well, most of us anyway). Still doesn't hurt to know that there will be at least one solid baseball title for sure.

2K9 sounds more and more promising as the information leaks out. The trouble is, there is an overall shallow feed. Hopefully as the info ramps up, we'll see some encouraging things.

After seeing last years version of The Show, and watching the Yankee Stadium vid I don't even think 2k should ship their game out. After thinking 2k was great for 3-4 years now I am buying a PS3 simply for The Show.

SCEA just released the 1st two videos of The Show 09 as well as Franchise info. The videos are breathtaking and the Franchise info is mind boggling. 40-Man rosters in Spring Training and September, arbitration, Rule V draft, waivers, draft in June, etc. Great stuff.

2K just released a video of embarassing proportions.

There really is no question as to which game to get. The Show 08 was one of the best baseball games of all time. MLB 2K8 was unplayable garbage. Get The Show.

Until 2K proves that they can put out a baseball game that runs smoothly and has good gameplay, there is no reason for it to be more than a rental for people with both 360's and PS3's.
