this question is for all the folks out there who migrated to the show from another title (presumably MVP). maybe some people on the fence might be sold reading this...

anyways, what caused you to make the jump? what really sold you onto the show over whatever you used to play? what was that last game lacking?

for me it was the RTTS feature. i wasn't aware of the show until i went to my boy's house and watched him play RTTS and i thought it was a breath of fresh air for a sports game.

Basically, my other option failed me after 2K7 (oops...) the show does more things right than any other baseball game...it plays more like real baseball...there are still things that bug me, but the overall experience is solid...

The inclusion of Manage Only mode is what got me to try it. Then the overall presentation and feel of the game of baseball is what got me to stay. Like someone else said, it does the most things right.

Ditto!

I'll also add that I got dizzy playing 2k8 last year. watching the ball go from 3rd to 1st was a huge reason I switched. It made my eyes go all

The short awnser is because MVP is no longer. Imagine what it would be now if exclusive licensing hadn't effed things up. We would have both The Show and MVP to chose from!

I switched in 08 as I burned up my 3rd 360 and I couldnt wait another season with no baseball .
The rest is history and WELCOME TO THE SHOW !

I jumped to The Show because it's evolution, baby.

It's only taken 20 years to get a worthy successor to Baseball Stars.

...

and I can't believe I've been living out my baseball fantasies in video games for 20 years...

Speaking of Baseball Stars, it's hilarious it's taken this long for a developer to do one of the key things that made Baseball Stars so great -- make your own player and develop him over time.
