Starting a PS3 Franchise: NHL 2k7 or MLB The Show 07?

[Mike Lowe]

Which game? I have a NCAA dynasty going but want to add one more. I love both games but haven't really gotten deep in franchise mode with either one of them.

What problems exist? I wont have time for all 3. Thanks!

I'm a big fan of the RTTS career mode in The Show. Lots of fun, though it obviously takes quite a bit of time to play. I have a 5 month old baby, so the short games where I can save at any time are a nice feature as well. Just couldn't get into the NHL game's career mode.

I did RTTS for a bit and it got very repetitive. How is the franchise mode in The Show?

It's solid. No glaring bugs. There's a lot more trades now that they finally have that working. Financial model is pretty good.

If you're interested, I know they're starting an online 'Show' league over at http://sportsgamer.blogspot.com. Glen and Dan both have the game and are putting together a league. Might be fun if you're able to do it. None of them will likely be 'cheesers'. Might be a good alternative to keep it fresh if you easily get bored with the single player game.

Ok, thanks for the info!
