Although I very much enjoy 2K10 (and look forward to the patch), I think if I owned a PS3 I would just get The Show and not deal with the lack of developer support.

The Show and 2K10 are quite different though. It's not such an easy decision. Besides, the first real roster update with rookies comes out for both systems in less than 48 hours. The PS3 is getting both patches combined as one and the real patch for the game should be out fairly soon (two weeks?).

True, I was just more so playing devil's advocate. I think if I complained enough about 2K10 as a PS3 owner I would just eliminate the drama and stress and just go with the other "safer" franchise. While I think The Show has rather stale gameplay mechanics (for pitching, hitting, fielding) compared to 2K10, I do still believe it is the more complete, polished game of the two. As a 360 owner, I have no choice but to be patient and hope this next patch fixes the majority of the gameplay issues for 2K10.

I agree 100%

I am a PS3 user and own both games - MLB 10 the show and MLB 2k10.

IMO, we pay the same price for MLB 2k10 whether it's a 360 version or a PS3 version. Therefore, regardless of sales figures, the PS3 users must be treated in the same way as the 360 users.

Any discrimination makes the 2ksports look unprofessional indeed.

I can't wait for the patch for PS3.

And in the real world, businesses take care of the portions of their customer base that are the most profitable. It's not a right or wrong issue. When you spend money on a game, it's silly not to take into account what a publisher will do. Wasting time time on what they should do will just frustrate you.

This is my third year n a row buying 2K. But if I had a PS 3 only, I would not have spent the money, because I know they don't value that customer base for obvious reasons.

I totally agree with you. The Show is FAR more polished but the commentary and gameplay mechanics of 2K10 bring me back. I also love the batting and pitching camera options of 2K10 and the slower pitch speed.

So tonight's Community Developer Game thing on XBox Live is MLB 2K10. New patch today, maybe? It'd be a thought....though if it wasn't released today I bet that most of the questions asked of the developers would be regarding the fatigue and rocket arms issues.

[rudyjuly2]

I hope they don't touch the arm strength much. I think the issue of rocket arms is completely overblown. When you tone down fielder speed it's a non issue imo.

It's a HUGE issue, actually. It becomes very apparent in franchise mode when you see stats at seasons end. The last few years no OF has had 20 assists, I think the most was like 17. In this game I've simmed the first season like 6 different times with 3 different rosters....and Manny Ramirez has broken 20 assists each season, let alone people with good arms like Kemp throwing out 30+ a couple times.
