Games like MLB 08 The Show show you what next gen should be

That is true, but at this point I think most people would settle for last-gen NCAA gameplay w. the current graphics.

Wow, take it easy. You can eaisly get your point across without being rude or upset. This is not The EA or 2K sports forums.

Dude, read my first post, All I said was I prefer NCAA to MLB the Show because it appeals to me more and that ive played more hours on NCAA in one month then I did MLB since I had it. Whats his face got smart and started all of this. And im done on this thread.

Yeah, but Pimping is correct in his analysis. You are comparing apples to oranges.

You aren't even playing a full game of baseball, and are comparing to a full game of football. ROAD TO THE SHOW sims anyway. NCAA doesn't sim.

So, your comparison is nullified.

Thats all I was trying to point out, Im glad someone else understood what I was saying. Its like complaining about how a basketball game takes so much longer to play then a football game but you simulate through 3 quarters of the football game while playing all 4 quarters in the basketball game so of course thats going to take longer. He can play the game however he wants but a better comparison would be to use a similar mode in NCAA and then compare the time it takes, not compare two completely different ways of playing the games and then complaining about it.

I've been extremely critical of this game, but now that I've discovered a good set of sliders, after much experimentation, it has really become fun and addictive. If sliders work as intended after patch 2 (I'm hopeful, but we've been burned before, so I don't know what to expect), this could very well be the best football game ever.

I don't know how to quite explain it -- and obviously to each his own -- but this game has IT. That certain little element, whatever it is, that makes me keep coming back for more.

By contrast, NCAA 2008 didn't have IT. In fact it was a colossal piece of --IT. Was absolutely no fun. I played only about 10 games before shelving it. They came out with a patch that did absolutely nothing to enchance the experience. Played two more games and shelved it for good.

NCAA 2009? I've played 39 games in the 24 days I've owned it, flaws and and all. And it does have some mind-boggling, pull-your-hair out flaws, some of which you have to believe will be remedied with the second patch. But it definitely has a hold on me like no football game has since NFL 2k5.

If his games in RTTS are only taking 10 minutes, then he's not doing much base
running. My games take 20-30 minutes cause I spend so much time on the bases (which gets old after a while).

And you are the perfect example as to how this forum unfortunately continues to drop in quality. New members like you think this is IGN. We don't do that sort of thing here.

So cut the smart *** comments out or leave. If you can't have an intelligent discussion (where you missed the obvious) then head on back to the EA/2k/IGN forums.
