So last night I was browsing around and I came across the MLB2K12 ad with Justin Verlander and well it got me a little curious about the game. So I ended up purchasing a copy at Amazon for the PS3. I already own The Show and I enjoy playing it, I'm not expecting a Show killer, just looking to play a different baseball game for a bit.

Hopefully I won't be disappointed, what do you guys think? Is there anyone here who plays both games?

I also play the Show. I think 2k12 while not a great game is a fun alternate game to play on occasion.

I love 2k12, although I've never had any of The Show games. You should enjoy it.

I've been a PS3 owner for about 4 years now, and I've bought both games at some point each year (crazy, I know), and I always seem to end up liking the 2K games more.

I guess as my gaming time drops more and more each year, I find that the simplistic approach that 2K brings to the controls helps a casual gamer like myself get involved in the action quicker.

I have had MLB 2K12 since release date, and have loved every minute of it. Its not as "pretty" as The Show is, but the gameplay is fun, and keeps you coming back for more.

Awesome, that's all I needed to hear, like I said, just looking for something different, lack of The Show caliber graphics does not bother me. The pitching looks interesting and I can't wait to try it out.

I don't think you will regret it. The Show is the total package. Looks good, good gameplay, lots of features and options. But, after some rough years, 2k has stepped it up and is pretty good. Not as pretty, but just a hair more fun for me. I have the Show on PS3 and Vita. 2K for PC and 360. All I need to do is pick my platform.

I have each game, and enjoy them both. The commentary on 2k is still amazing and The Show's graphics can't be beat. I think you will like them both.

I have, and enjoy both. I'm not going to lie, I think The Show 12 is one of the finest sports games ever made. Its an amazing title. However, for many of the reasons already posted in this thread, I enjoy 2k12 as well.

Its a fun game. Its ugly compared to the show. I do prefer the overall presentation and commentary in 2k12 over The Show.

I don't think you will be disappointed at all.
