I have Multiple Sclerosis and at times I get such bad concentration problems where I can't read a book or follow a movie or much on TV, which often comes with other issues I won't mention, but can keep me from even sleeping. So when this happens I can pop in this game and lose myself in my A's franchise and focus on the game and not worry about what is going on with my health. That is how good the game is for me.

I played MLB 09 The Show religiously from the day I got it, 'til October 7 (that's the last date I had a save made on). Then, I bought NBA 2K10. I've played it religiously for the past week or two, thinking I wouldn't touch "The Show" again until next year's came out.

So, last night I say, well let me pop in The Show and play a Yankees vs Phillies game. Since then, I have started a new franchise (I deleted my old one

), I've played 10 games in my franchise, and I haven't even thought about playing NBA 2K10.

And in response to that guy up there that said something about how he tried to just finish out his AAA pitcher career and then go to bed at a reasonable hour, I'm the same way. Anytime I get started back on my RTTS career, I say "Okay, I'll play out this one series, and get some sleep."
Next thing I know, it's 4 A.M., and I've played nearly a months worth of games. haha. I think it's time for someone of higher power to officially label this game "Greatest Sports Game EVER!".

I just saw a new cutscene today. I'm the M's playing against the Nats. I hit a triple and than a cutscene pops up showing Zimmerman trying to catch my player off the bag at 3rd.The announcer mentioned it was the old hidden ball trick. My player got back before the tag.

No sports game comes close to the show when it comes to the "little things".

i have to agree with the majority. i live, breathe, sleep football, however EA's monopoly on that complete garbage they call ncaa football / madden forced me into trying different sports titles. this game challenges me like no other, there is always some part of my virtual baseball game that i must work on forcing me down the road to perfection. im always finding new things that changes my view of this game and about baseball in general.

as an example, i have re found guess pitch. this was a game feature i never really fully understood and always viewed it as a crutch to help those who are struggling with hitting. recently i went back to play around with it and completely realized that it is more then what i originally thought. for the first time i really feel like i can put pressure on the opposing pitcher. as a result im using alot more strategy. i play with gp on with no feedback and it has changed the game yet again for me.

DTX - I definitely feel you on the trading games in within 3 or 4 months. I was all stoked for NBA 2k10 to come out and 6 days after it was released it was back on a shelf at gamestop and out of my sight. One of the biggest things now with sports games is you almost wait around to be like 'well maybe this is the year it finally doesn't suck' or 'i'll buy it when the patch comes out' it's getting ridiculous. I literally have no complaints about the show. I loved playing baseball growing up, but hated baseball games until I tried this one. It's absolutely incredible and I can't imagine trading it in til the show 10 comes out, I am completely hooked. I don't believe I've enjoyed a sports game this much since I was 5 playing tecmo super bowl.

This is easily the most perfect, best sports simulation video game I've ever played in my 20 years of gaming. This is the ONLY game that I NEVER worry about when it comes to sliders, bugs and all the other bs we deal with when it comes to sports games. Going 8 months strong and I won't be getting rid of this game until '10 comes out. Just wanted to give a big thanks to the developers for their hard work, dedication and for giving us, in my eyes, thee best sports video game ever. You guys truly are THE ****!

Ditto. Could not have said it better. I really don't know what improvement they can make for the 10 release.
