Said critic decided to purchase the current iteration of the Show and discovered that no one had in fact heard a word he said and that, all the innumerable opponents of his opinion had, in fact encouraged SCEA to leave the exact same franchise in place. I know this guy, and he doesn't care much about the war. He purchased and played the show, but did not enjoy playing a stale, limited franchise mode. Instead he chose MLB 2k for the first time in his life and enjoyed the realism and depth of the franchise (of course, he needed to overlook some serious errors) and gameplay. As far as NBA 2k11 being bested, I think the world will have to wait at least a year for that to happen-- 2k12. Probably longer. It's not even close. I really can't say that enough. Respect. Sorry if I'm as obnoxious as him.

Okay...I'm all ears....
In what way does MLB2K11 have a better franchise mode than The Show?
Stale?...that sounds like a personal preference...but limited? In what way is any of the franchise modes of the games mentioned so much more elaborate than the current Show mode?
