I won't disagree with the rest of your post, but as for the above,
2k glossed over basically everything else, it rendered the "stats galore" a moot point IMO. However, for what it was, I still enjoyed, as much as one could, 2k baseball. If the Show had to sacrifice the rest of their game to get advanced stat tracking right, I'd have to say No, Thank You. Still, with the Show ready to hit the their stride on the ps4 in 15 & 16, you have to figure advanced stat tracking is right around the corner. Like they say,
"Patience is a virgin." Or something like that.
