The commentary is excellent, continuing from last year. Very nice.
I think it goes a long way to make the game seem better than it actually is.
The demo has no commentary and really suffers for it.

And this game has many nice things but still afte so many years has the core elements still broken How may more years are we going to continue to say, they are improving

That's where my frustration lies. Every year they take steps in the right direction, but at a VERY slow pace. By the time they finally get their game at the point where it can truly compete fully with the competition, either the exclusive deal will be up (might be a good thing), or they'll be focusing on the next generation consoles and will have to start from scratch once again.

Which is another thing that frustrates me about this franchise. The developers stated that they remodeled all the swing animations, and yet they look just as choppy and unfinished as ever. Which makes you wonder what the animator's idea of "improved" exactly is? This all seems rather odd, since this is Visual Concepts we're talking about here (the best in the biz when it comes to animations, little things).

I think we may be giving this team a bit too much credit because of their basketball background. Its quite possible that if they have the same people that made the NBA games, maybe they just don't know baseball as well? Maybe they have a completely different team (under the VC umbrella) working on the baseball games, and they're just not as talented as the NBA developers?

Could you do this in 2K10? I had no idea.

LOL @ these two guys saying the Show commentary sucks.

Really? Really?

I think it's pretty darn good and better than 2K series.

One thing I do like about 2K series is the Insiders Edge stuff and the other little stuff at the plate.

I have to disagree - 2K's commentary kills The Show's. 2K has a knack for commentary (see NBA). The Show's play-by-play gets really stale really quick.

Truthfully the 2k could have made the video boards look a little nicer. They made the other parts around them authentic, but the part of with the picture looks bad. Next year I hope the graphics team focuses on them and the names on the uniforms to make them look more authentic.
