    Re: Dynasty Musings: The Show is Still King

    I absolutely agree with Chris on this one.
    While I do agree that MLB is the King as far as franchise/dynasty, I also have to say that there are things that need to be addressed as well and some just tightened up.
    With that out of the way....the sheer amount of options that can be controlled manually/automatically and a hybrid of both is just amazing.
    I've now played them all(the '10 sports games) and while I agree that NBA2K11 is an amazing game...all around, gameplay/editing/options and franchise mode has MLB The Show as tops without question.
    Give me the ability to edit coaches/managers.......the ability to update my franchise on the fly and an explanation of the training( I'm looking at you Kolbe! ) and I'll be good to go.
    (okay...beef up the ticker....and spruce up the presentation....AND....add a daily/weekly sports update show(video or a "radio" show that plays in the background)...and I'm in heaven.

      Apparently Dave Pearson wrote this article, not Chris. Just want to give credit where credit is due.

            Yes, The Show is King. However, I skipped the King this year and stayed with 09 because of the launch trade bug. Quality control is critical to Dynasty mode games.

                My biggest gripes with the Show, and I love the game otherwise, is the fact that the AI only promotes/demotes for injuries and never just performance.

                Also, I wish there was a shop player feature. I know there is the trade block etc. but a shop feature would be nice.

                Add in expansion, teams possibly relocating, teams getting new stadiums, and some more dynamic league settings (like OOTP where I could expand playoffs, change divisions, etc.) and this game would be flawless.

                  As a sports gamer with an XBox 360, I can only say, sadly, The Show? What's that? Appears I may have made the wrong decision when it came time for a new console purchase . . .

                    Glenn, you are definitely missing out, especially if you have played MLB 2K11. It is like night and day.

                      The only reason I haven't bought NBA 2k11 yet is because I'm still playing the show and can't stop. i have so many other games that have collected dust because of The Show's Franchise Mode. I still haven't even scratched the surface of RTTS mode, which I've heard is pretty addicting, also.

                        Yes I have to agree, the show is no doubt the king, just the depth of the game is amazing, especially the frannchise mode and RTTS. Sorry to hear Glenn, but once I started reading up on this game, I sold my xbox 360 and immediately bought this game and a PS3, I remember driving home thinking I am buying a PS3 for just one game? Well I haven't regretted it since.

                          I also went out and bought a ps3 just for the show back in 07. I don't even bother buying other games anymore because I play the show year round.

                            I don't care about baseball, but I wish they had the level of detail of this game on Madden. I would love real physics, instead of animations, to be added to the game as well.

                            Madden can show the on field play of football at a decent level, but it is poor at showing a realistic franchise/ownership mode. The game doesn't even have PS players or FA tenders.

                              The main reason I plan the Show over Madden and I think Madden is quite good, is how quickly you can actually do things in it. Madden's menus are sooooo slow, w/ the show it's responsive and moves quickly.

                                Good stuff, man. While The Show's menus aren't perfect (they need a save all lineup button for god's sake), they are at least extremely responsive.
