    This game is making me bipolar

    This game is making me bipolar....
    I love it
    Than I play a TOTALLY unrealistic game and hate it....
    than I finally accept it's flaws with the help of BFG's terrific sliders....(thank you JOE!)

    Than I the read the great O.S. review for The Show. The one that calls it one of the best sports titles OF ALL TIME and get I mad at 2k again.....

    I think of listening to the little voice in my head and ending this abusive relationship with 2k baseball and Xbox...

    That annoying little voice that says:

    "You can afford it! Go buy the pS3 and The Show. Who WOULDN'T spend 500 dollars just to play one game? People that SAY that are crazy, NOT YOU!"....

    SHUT UP BRAIN OR I'LL STAB YOU WITH A QTIP!*

    Than I play an outstanding game with the Rangers and Blue Jays today and I love the game again ......
    and pray for a patch from the bastards at 2k so that my 2k game will just be SLIGHTY INFERIOR to LAST YEARS version of The Show....
    SIGH.....

      LOL...Your not alone. I really wanted 2K9 to be THE baseball game to keep me from the PS3 and Show Purchase crave....but it wasnt. And I finally convinced myself this game is a mess and Im wishing on a star that just wont shine in 2K Baseball. Its been several years now and they havent had a real winner in my eyes since their Saturn World Series Baseball 98 (which may not have even been 2K Sports)

      Its a real shame because their NBA 2K9 and the older NFL 2K5 is a clear and away gem.

      I really believe they have the talent but baseball has been the thorn in their side (along with this years weak attempt at resurrecting NHL 2K) I've already convinced myself to stop wishing and cut my ties with 2K for Baseball. This was the deciding year for me. And the sad thing is even if they address everything people are griping about here (including me), the game still is wonky and lacks that extra panache that you see in The Show.

      Im buying the PS3 and MLB the Show 09 ...as soon as Sony announces their upcoming price drop, which should be $100.

      I'll most certainly be very happy because I am now by still playing MLB the Show 06 on my PS2

        Flattery will get you nowhere.


        But I will say it will be absolutely criminal if they don't put out a second patch to address these issues.
        It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

          I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago, but I really don't wanna spend $500 for one game, that's absurd. I guess we have to be happy with what we got.

            I am almost positive they will release a patch. Friday 2k asked me to do a quick major problems report. Then the rest of it i will email to them on Monday. I also did a quick online one as well.

            Like i have said, they better patch it, or i am doing this all for nothing, then again.

                I wish I never gave away my PS2. I would get the show for it otherwise.


                P.S. How are the graphics for the show on PS2 in progressive scan maybe I will buy a used PS2 for like 60$ they the show for 30$ and enjoy the game. Also what are the main diferences in the game.

                      I hear you man. I have been feeling the same way why i hate people telling me how great teh show is because i really cant afford a ps3 right now nor do I want the game right now. I say enjoy the game or just get a ps3 and be done with it lol spekaing of bipolar. Personally id stop listening to the show fanboys and just go with what you think. They are all followers anyways. If everyone was here saying this game is better would you get a ps3? Honestly both games are good. The show is better in certain regards. But I like this game. It's just more fun to me. The batter and pitching interfaces are more fun. 2k did a great job with this game imo and it just needs a patch. No its not as breathtaking as the show graphically and doesnt run smooth as silk like a lamborghini but it's a very good game in its own right.

                      I honestly dont think the show is worth $500. In my honest opinion if that game was worth $500 you wouldn't be going back and forth. That says something about this game imo. If that game was worth $500 you'd go out and spend the money and not think twice. I th ink this game is close enough where it's not worth it. This game has things going for it that that game doesn't as well. For me it's not about the $500 because i'm going to spend it ultimately.I like this game so it's cool. Be a man, make up your mind. For me i'll play this game now and play that game later instead of going back and forth on the ps3 which i would probably do. It's almost better to just have a 360 imo because you don't have the choice.

                      For me i'm waiting for the price drop and will get a ps3 soon after. In the meantime I'm just enjoying this game for what it is. TO be honest i'm kind of proud of myself that's i've actually showed some restraint here and it's paid off and I'm really enjoying this game ever moreso where others missed out is how I see it. I'll get the best of this game and also play the show at a discount. Best of both worlds.

                        I know what u mean man. I have the show as well, but I find myself playing 2k9 alot even though it frustrates me big time when the fielding bugs kick in. Something about the game that makes me play it. I love the tv presentation and the "commercial" breaks. I got a good slider setup that is getting me very realistic final scores and stats except for pitch counts.

                          The Show doesn't have progressive scan support on PS2.
