While 2K Sports has the exclusive licensing for the game, Sony is able to put out The Show and EA sits idling. It has been since 2005 when 2K got the licensing. When does the contract end or is EA waiting for 2K to fade into oblivion?

Re: I don't get it...
No it wouldn't. MVP's gameplay doesn't translate now a days...And it would animate terribly if only given a boost in graphics.Comment

There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.
The first kind is wrong. The second is superfluous.

Re: I don't get it...
I meant in terms of mechanics. My point was that anyone who's accustom to MVP will have no trouble making the transition.
There's a slight difference in the hitting mechanic, the PCI. Take away the PCI and you're left with MVP's hitting system virtually intact. The pitch meter is almost exactly the same, the throwing meters for fielding are only different in their location and appearance.
I wrote a blog on this in fact, see my arena.
I see a lineage in baseball games, starting with High Heat on the PSone. It looked awful, but played beautifully. It remained the best baseball game on the market until MVP's 2nd or 3rd effort. I consider MVP '05 the "transition" from the old school that was High Heat to the HDGen, The Show. I think each of these games owe a lot to their predecessor.
One of the things I love about The Show is that is hasn't been shy about ripping off good ideas. You can tell the people who make The Show played the **** out of MVP in '05, and I'm glad they did. It helped them carry on MVPs legacy. I know they can't acknowledge that publicly, but I bet they would admit it directly if they could.
Calling it a carbon copy... yeah, too extreme, because certainly The Show has made many advances since. I meant specifically the mechanics though... clearly the rest of the game is far more advanced and the mechanics are better tuned (MVP was too forgiving in most cases).There are two types of people on OS: Those who disagree with me, and those who agree.

Re: I don't get it...
Also I would say the Show is much more realistic than MVP and MVP was way to easy. MVP did a lot right and was my fav baseball game till the Show 09 and 10 but IMO the Show blows MVP away.MLB: Texas Rangers
Soccer: FC Dallas, Fleetwood Town
NCAA: SMU, UTA
NFL: Dallas Cowboys
NHL: Dallas Stars
NBA: Dallas Mavericks
