    PS2 vs. PS3 version


    Can anyone tell me the main things that will be missing from the PS2 version? i don't have a PS3, and don't intend to buy one, but I do have a PS2 and I am considering The Show on PS2 over MLB on 360. Any opinions? Would this be a waste of money?

      From what I understand the only differences between the two are that the PS3 version offers the ability to create custom soundtracks and also has progressive lighting. It need not be said that the graphics on the PS3 version are substantially better. However, the gameplay and features are similar. In fact, for a PS2 game it looks quite good. I would buy it.

        I played both last year (I upgraded mid-season ). The biggest diffrence were graphics (obviously) and load times. Other then that, they were exactly the same.

          Ha-ha! Which game are you refering to when you say "waste of money"? An absolute no-brainer if you're a sim baseball fan. The PS2 version of the Show is the game to get. That's what I play, and it's everything the PS3 version is gameplay-wise.

            PS2 version also has a Home Run derby correct?

                Yeah, I don't have an ps3 either, I just have a 360..but I have a ps2, and I think I will be getting the show on ps2. Only thing I think we'll be missing are the graphics

                  What about roster updates. Will the Show have any type of living rosters style updates this year? If so will they be available to my PS2 Slim.

                    I have a PS2 and 360 and I'm getting The Show. The features are identical to PS3, aside from lighting, graphics and custom soundtracks.

                    Not sure on the rosters but I know last year there were updates when you signed in online.

                      Just played the 2k9 demo and it doesnt look so great. Guess im getting The Show for Ps2. Good thing i didnt sell it. Did they add anymore faces/equipment for RTTS. The wristbands are so generic. The wrist wristband could only go on the left arm. The arm wristband could only go on youre right arm. And i hope they can say peoples name.

                        Either get a PS3 and buy it or don't waste your money on the PS2 version. Anything on the PS2 looks hella primitive compared to anything on PS3. You are going to see someone playing it on PS3 and PS2 version be like looking through muddy glasses. Save that dough and put it towards your PS3 savings account.

                          get it for PS2, save your money until u have enough for a PS3, sell the PS2 version (& maybe the PS2 system if u want), & get the PS3 along with the PS3 version of the game

                              I'm having the same debate with myself right now. The Show for PS2 or 2k9 for 360. I'm a bit of graphics whore, so this is a tough one for me.

                              I have 07 for the PS2 I wonder how big of an upgrade is aside from rosters. Does it have the BP and baserunning mode?
