MLB the Show is the most realistic game to date. This game has so much depth and realistic bodies and movements that real everyday players have and do. The Tattoos and body structures are spot on. The everyday General Manager duties are as real as it gets in this game. If you take a player off the 40 man roster you need to make some sort of moves such as waivers or releasing the player. The Pitching and hitting are so realistic it ain't even funny. You need to do a whole swing motion to make the batter have his timing correct for a hit. You can't just hold back on the controller stick and swing forward to hit like you do in MLB2K11. The Pitching is so particular that you need to hit your spots dead on or the ball will take off on you. You never know were this ball is going unless your control of the controller is on the mark. The Fans now that is what makes it even more real than any other game out there or ever has been. The fans get up out of the seats to look at plays, cheer, play by throwing a beach ball around. the warming up of a Pitcher is important and may take more than just a half inning. I totally love this game and recommend it to any Baseball fanatic.
MLB2K11 has it's own little engine that could. Well it could be great if you add more features and much better control to the game without the lag. The game tends to not respond well. The overall game play is the same as last years game. The only difference is the rosters have been updated. Yeah they have great commercials (too funny Brian Wilson), But that doesn't change the fact that it really doesn't hold a candle to MLB the Show. Both games can be played on the PS3 and MLB the Show is PS3 exclusive. MLB2K11 can be played on XBOX 360. I also find the GM role has limited abilities and game freezes when trying to change the Manager. This game does have it good points like it's Baseball and you can play the minor league games and download special created players from the servers. Yeah I played with Obama in the Outfield and he was pretty good (Homered in the 5th). Both Games have my player mode to bring up through the Minors to get to the Show or the Majors. that is a fun mode to play if you get a chance play it.
All in all both games are great my vote goes to the Show for all of the GM depth and having to make decisions on travel, marketing, expenses, ballpark vending. The Show also has a part that if you run out of money you need to get a loan. you will have to go to the bank and get one with interest of paying back. The Show has a true progress of a player in the game as the season goes on. MLB2K11 does not have any of these features. it is more simpler of a game to play the game and not worry about the other stuff. you have your choice no matter what it is our game thee game of our Nation Baseball.
That is my take on it, what is yours ?
