Over 90 games and still haven't play a 1-0 or 2-1 game yet or struck out more than 3 times in a game or walk more than 3 batters in a game, and that's on Legend but "that happens all the time in baseball". I turned the human contact and power to 0 and still my team is hitting over .350 and I have 3 players over 50 HR and all of them over 15, just like in MLB. Just because this game is good for you (or you are not that good to beat the dumb CPU in the show) doesn't mean that is going to be the same for everyone else, I'm glad you and many others are getting your money's worth for some of us this game has too many unrealistic things tend to be repetitive and the big problem is that most of those issues were found since 07 and still they haven't attempt to fix them, too me that makes this game just good at best, and no I'm not going to play MVP 05 and I may give this game another try latter on but for now I'm putting this game away. I believe that the Moderators were the ones that put this article in this thread, so bashing on the guy that wrote the article is not going to make it go away, if anything complain to the ones that place it here the Moderators.

Wah!

Here are the three things that MVP does better.
1.It's on PC
2.It has an editor that works on a PC and...umm...hmm....
3. The fielding...the glorious fielding...the best fielding...THE FIELDING RULES IN MVP are you BLIND!!
(oh...forget that pre-fielding the pitching BLOWS!...yawn...rock back..throw a strike top right corner...rock back...throw a strike lower left corner....oh...I need to throw a ball...let me close my eyes and hold the controller with my feet!)
...but let's not get carried away.

Yes....there are parts of this game that need attention.....nobody is or can deny that....and in that context I guess this article is a nice diversion and a good read.

This post above, not going there (again), but, come on. (note: report a post doesn't seem to work)

We should call moderators because of a guy's opinion? Not that I agree with what some of he's saying, but give me a break. Who cares if it's an MVP vs. MLB argument? That's kind of the idea of the thread. And forums in general.

The fact is, MVP still does do some stuff better. The hitting, I don't understand how people say is better. It's better because you can hit 80 HR's a season with average power guys? I think not. He's right about the outside the zone stuff in the Show, though. That's annoying at times. I hate it when I make perfect breaking pitches to the outside corner, yet they somehow get pulled for ridiculous HR's.

Nope. No 2k vs. The Show threads, no The Show vs. 2k threads. Watch me start one and watch a mod jump in and close it post haste. We've been told to use the post report icon. Not talking about this guy particularly, but again, this thread wasn't supposed to be a hit on SCEA and this poster definitely turned it into that, didn't he?

People can have all the opinions they want. I remember a couple years ago we were all told (warned) that it's a privilege to have the devs and SCEA on board. It is. We had to watch terms like "liars", yeah, seen it, etc., etc., etc. Now if you don't give a crap, I do, and the argument that they are big boys and can take care of themselves isn't the point either.

I'm just wondering what happened here, as many of us are. Maybe it's the site hit counter, I don't know.

If you make a thread saying MVP still does things better than the Show, what is the end result going to be? MVP vs. MLB arguments. Period. If someone didn't want that, this thread should of been closed immediately.

It is a privilege to post with devs, but I don't get it, they want just want to hear the positives? We're not supposed to give any criticism or like any games better than the Show or else we get banned? Why bother being on the forums then?

I think we're all perfectly mature enough to talk about MVP vs. The Show positives and negatives, or at least I would hope so.

lol...Apparently not.

The issue isn't discussing The Show's positives and negatives, it's a matter of context. This "article" was factually inaccurate and clearly slanted. That's fine, it is an opinion piece, and they certainly have their place. It's the subtext by both the writer and other MVP fans (after some facts were sorted out by the developer) that is problematic.

The trouble with posting it here is that it goes 100% against the rules we were all told to follow about pitting one game against another. Straight comparison is one thing, but when you misrepresent facts in those comparisons, it becomes a pointless debate, and of course it will draw negativity...which I thought was kind of the point of those rules in the first place.

This whole thing is laced with double standards, hypocrasy and, more on-topic, opinions masquerading as fact. And yes, I recognize that there is some blind loyalty in here for The Show as well...that's to be expected though, given the forum...lol.

So yes, we should be able to discuss positives and negatives. It should be, however, in proper context and without blind loyalty and nostalgia for a completely different product.

EDIT: And BTW, as I said much earlier, none of that is a knock on writer himself. I enjoy opinion pieces whether I agree or not (and it was relatively well written too). It's just the way that opinions somehow got misconstrued as fact, that is an issue (again, my opinion).

Plus, as others have said countless times...if this was "Three Things The Show Does Better than 2K9" or vice-versa in each game's respective forum, the poster would have his thread locked and probably be carded...lol

I know what you mean, the article was a bunch of crap for the most part. Some of it was true, but most of it was just "fanboyism" at its finest. But then again, look where we're posting at. While other people exaggerate the greatness of past games like MVP, plenty of people do the same with the Show here, and they surely aren't going to get their threads closed for it.

lol...I actually edited my post to cover that right before you posted this.

Anyway, I agree to an extent. The truth of the matter is though, ANY thread that any of us create pitting one game against another, REGARDLESS of the forum, has gotten locked eventually. Heck, there was even a rules reminder type thread posted by the mods to try and curb there creation. There are some things best left alone, IMO.

The point is, this could have easlily been avoided with either:

A. a little bit of foresight.

B. some moderation

C. Bot A and B...lol.

It should have been posted in the MVP forum and then you avoid all of this silliness. Then, if Show "fanboys" go into the MVP thread to stir stuff up (as some MVP fans have done here), you handle that accordingly (like what should have been done here).

Yeah I know I don't get these guys may be they have only played MVP and can't figure out The Show and WTF calling High Heat arcade that pure stupidity.

Compared to The Show yeah High Heat is more on the arcade side but go back in time and High Heat was the only sim game out there and IMO MVP being fun as hell was not sim but a new era of a game and High Heat had gone away with the death of 3D0 then that repeated as MVP died and The Show stepped up.

This article is like saying my 2004 Sanyo CRT flat screen is better then my 2009 Sony XBR LCD.
