Better Game: MLB The Show or MLB 2K

[OrangeWilly]

I am looking to buy one of the two games for the upcoming season. I have played MLB 2K8, but have not played MLB The Show. Which one do you guys like and why?

The Show trounces it. Download the demo. You'll love it and then realize half the game "The Road to the Show" isn't even in the demo. Working your way up to the majors makes it an incredible single player game as well. I'll be getting it tomorrow.

Until last year, I hadn't purchased a baseball game in years. MVP was good, but single player wasn't much outside of a run of the mill franchise. The Show really adds a great single player experience to the game.

Great....Thanks.....I have been told that before, but just wanted to make sure. :hi:

i dont have a PS3 but the show's pitching looks so played out. they had that pitching interface in MVP 04. im getting 2k8 just because i have a 360.

I played the demo last night also, and wasn't impressed with the pitching or hitting part. Seem to be old school (one button push) baseball.

Here is PastaPadre's comparison:

The general consensus seems to be that The Show is a much better game.
