Long time xbox user so glad I invested in the ps4

[Bgrd1080]

So I've been stuck with the other baseball game being an xbox guy but this year I get to play the legendary MLB the Show. Can't wait to see all the differences that have been well noted and even better it will be on a PS4. This game is the whole reason I got the PS4.

After playing the piece of junk that was MLB 2K, I think you will be surprise of how good is The Show.

Amen to this! Being married with two kids there was no way in hell my wife would allow two gaming systems (until the next gens came out) in my house. At times I toyed with the idea of trading the 360 just to get a PS3 and the Show, then I also would look for sales on Craigslist or Ebay for a PS3, but I never pulled the trigger. I'd buy 2K every couple of years regardless of the poor reviews, and while it served its purpose to a point I'd inevitably run into issues that ultimately would turn me off of it.

Same here man, wife, 2 kids and all. Never pulled the trigger on a trade/sell either for the PS from xbox.

This time around grabbed the Ps4; The Show being one of (if not THE) the main reasons I went with the PS4. I'm at work, the game is in my car. Needless to say I'm chomping at the bit to get home and finally own an AMAZING baseball game to play whenever I want.

The time it takes me to get the girls in bed, eat, and crack a beer should be about right on to let the game fully install. Enjoy it gentleman. I know I am. Going to feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

To those of you coming over from the 2k series: Please have a wee bit of patience if at first the game feels odd. I did when I switched 3 years ago. I loved certain aspects of The Show immediately. Other things felt wrong.....at first. You sometimes have to reprogram your mindset and then things fall in line. The Show is a far superior game....but the initial shock of it feeling different from 2k made me almost not like it. I gave it a fair shake and I am never going back (not that I could anyway now!).

Seriously, are you in my head?!?? It's like we are living the same life today.

The best part of all of this is that I get to play this with my 8 y/o son. He toyed with the last 2K game I bought on the 360 (I think 2K11, Halladay was on the cover) and he asked me to play from time to time so I would, but I grew to the point where I really disliked it. I would've traded it if it weren't for him. Around opening day he asked if we could get a new baseball game, told him The Show was coming on 5/6 so he and I have been counting down together. Last night when I tucked him in he said "one more night" and then this morning he said "I can't wait until you get home tonight".

Is this a baseball video game forum or a "bring a tear to the eyes of all dads" forum?

Seriously....sharing baseball and now baseball video games with your kids is one of life's greatest blessings. (don't tell my wife I said that!).

Re: Long time xbox user so glad I invested in the ps4

I've been a long time Xbox user as well, and The Show is THE reason why I purchased a PS3 (Th Show 12 and 13) and the reason why I purchased a PS4 as well (The Show 14).

Picked up my PS4 copy today, and it's installing. I'm watching the demo as I do other things, and it looks amazing. Aside from the looooooong loading time and looooooong install time (TS 12 and 13 were quicker), it looks like another winner.

Yeah, I know a little cheesy, but these games actually help kids (IMO) learn the game even more...he knows more players, learns more rules, strategies, terms/lingo, etc. He's got card sets, sticker books, etc this is another extension...plus makes these purchases easier to justify with the wife!!!

Falling in line with everyone else here. Have had a Xbox the past 3-4 years ran a couple years with the 2k product. Found out that that was history and the ps4 coming out, it was a no brainer of which way to go. THe Show was the only reason I jumped over to the PS. Saddened that the NCAA football is gone. Might be the only reason I would fire up the Xbox this fall.

Re: Long time xbox user so glad I invested in the ps4

Same story! MLB 2K guy... Just bought The Show for PS4. I am so ready to move past 2K... Although, I can't entirely bash it, as it served it's purpose. Install Progress 20%.... Come on man!

For baseball users you are in for a treat if you never played Show. 15 should really suit your fancy on PS4.

Re: Long time xbox user so glad I invested in the ps4

Can anybody give me some advice on what is the most realistic/challenging, hitting and pitching setup? On MLB2k I used Analog hitting, and pitching. What would be the same for The Show? This is my first time to even see it.
