Game On!: MLB 2K13 vs. The Show

The Final Points JD Luca does a head to head review of the MLB games this year 2K13 and the show: Today we take a look at MLB 2K13 and MLB 13: The Show. Obviously there was a lot more effort put into the latter, but there are still good things in 2K that Sony has yet to address. I broke it down by graphics, gameplay, presentation, career, franchise, and the overall final verdict.

Haha, is this a joke? MLB 2K can't compete with MLB: The Show.

showtimefolks4049d ago

It's not even competition, competition is when both sides compete but 2K just released the 2012 version with no morovemmts as this years game since they know 3rd party wise they are the only ones offering a MLB game to Xbox fans

Since they no longer have the exclusive contract with MLB, I think we will see EA make a huge return Into MLB with MVP baseball

2k basketball is great
2k NHL game sucked
2k MLB games use to be aight but now suck

Derekvinyard134049d ago

So true, basketball is all they have going for them

3-4-54049d ago

In terms of stats, and how the games feels and flows like a baseball franchise yes it can compete.

2k is better at Non-playing realism and the hitting mechanics are far superior.

Everything else is probably in The Show's favor though.

artycone4051d ago

exactly the point they have two things I would want firing managers mid season and the commentary

Kingthrash3604049d ago

Easy win.....exact opposite of nba2k vs live.

MASTER_RAIDEN4049d ago

The show is the king of baseball sims. as much as part of me wants to be an "average gamer" who just enjoys the mainstream releases, ive just never been a fan of sports games. that said however, The show series has really managed to show me that there is a lot of fun to be had with sports simulators. quality stuff.

nosferatuzodd4049d ago

I have to disagree... Not everyone like the show, I bought the show for ps4 n like 2k on 360 better, I'm not saying the show not good, I myself think 2k offer more!! If Sony n EA would take a couple pages from 2k n put into there sport games, and OMG!!! We would have kickass sport games...

harrisk9543527d ago

This list doesn't include The Show???.. Total and utter FAIL.

JimmyDM903527d ago

On closer inspection the article title is very misleading. He says it's a list of top 5 baseball games also available on PC. Since The Show is playstation exclusive I'm guessing that's why it is absent.

Redlogic3527d ago

Yea, no MLB the show on this list but MLB 2K is on their twice from the last 3 yrs?!? List is bogus

Brazz3527d ago

The list i a total fail! MLB: the show is the best baseball game, and you can't see it in the list! This thing is bullshit! Only a person that never played "The show", or a butthurt xbox fanboy, can say that MLB 2k series is better than MLB: theshow...

All_Consoles3527d ago

"I hope you all like this list.Have a look at the list of top 5 best baseball games for PC below"

List is for pc games

Spotie3527d ago

"Top 5 Best Baseball Games for PC,PS3,XBOX"

Article claims it's for consoles, then ignores the best franchise on console. Hell the best franchise, period.

Can't even get two years out of it. WOW

FamilyGuy3540d ago

That's ridiculous, are the servers ghost towns or what?
Never heard of a big game dropping support under 2 years like this.

3-4-53540d ago

From 2014 you can carry over saves so maybe this is the last time they do something like this.

x_RadicalAura_x3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

Ouch. Looks like I better get going on those MP trophies. 3-4 years is understandable, but 2 years? C'mon, Sony.

XtraTrstrL3540d ago

Whoa, remind me to never buy an MLB: The Show game. That is ridiculous. LoL, nice way to promote MLB 14 Sony.

yarbie10003540d ago

That's one way to make sure people buy the new sports games every year...

ZombieDust3540d ago

But but but I thought sony wanted to give us the best value? Haha kind of like denying ea access so we can have their absurdly price ps now (is that what its called? I had a few too many tonight).

Jag-T10003540d ago

This is why online features suck! They can shut down the servers whenever they want.

A lack of competition is bad for sports games

2K’s cancellation of its MLB series leaves The Show with no rival, which isn’t a good thing, as history shows.

Stringerbell3753d ago

Imo Fifa was superior to PES from 08-10. But PES has really upped the ante since then. Lets be honest though Fifa sells loads more becasue EA has all those licensees snatched up and Konmai cant touch them. Try selling your football game in Germany when you aren't allowed the rights to the Bundesliga. Or in England when you cant call it Liverpool but rather Merseyside Red and the team dons a fake kit?

On the flip side in countries where PES has rights to said league ie Brasil, Japan, Argentina, Chile - sales are much closer or PES outsells Fifa. While the PES community creates option files that can rectify missing kits and teams I dont blame people for choosing Fifa if they want those licenses in box. However to look at the two games and say well one is a masterpiece and the other is just meh ignoring the advances its made is completely false. That seems to be the narrative when comparing the two games.

PeaSFor3753d ago

"The Show with no rival, which isn’t a good thing"

well, it's not like The Show was already raping all the other baseball games anyway.....

JetsFool35003753d ago

Exactly the show is probably the only sports game that doesnt need competition because its been smashing 2k since '09 There's a reason its the best rated sports franchise

Hyper_Tension1403753d ago (Edited 3753d ago )

What about NBA Live that had a rival and it just got worse and worse every time. Maybe some games dont need competition, they could just challenge themselfs to make it better than last years.

JetsFool35003753d ago

@hyper its harder for basketball because its so many things going on at once baseball is essentially pitch hit catch throw its not that hard to perfect that

NYC_Gamer3753d ago

I'm missing out on NFL games due to EA having the exclusive license

Brasi19893753d ago (Edited 3753d ago )

I agree. Madden has been horrible since the NFL exclusivity license came out. (Not that it was great before) I miss the 2K NFL games.

wsoutlaw873753d ago

I agree. I dont think the problem here is competition. Mlb 2k backed out because the show was that good. If the show starts to suck, someone will swoop in and try to take over. The potential for competition is still there. With madden they paid to get rid of competion which is different. Madden was the worse game. This has to suck for baseball fans on xbox though.

maniacmayhem3753d ago

We all saw this with Madden! Still a good game but absolutely no real reason to buy it every year with the exception of an updated roster and stats.

Which could be done via a patch if EA wanted to!!!

SpiralTear3753d ago

MLB: The Show is routinely good quality, but with no competition, the developers can slack off. It happened with Madden; once it was the only American football game available, the developers had no one to one-up. Competition drives improvement, as companies are always trying to be better than each other, with consumers reaping the benefits.

Fans had to settle with Madden; there was no other option. Hopefully, The Show doesn't go down that road, but if it does, I wouldn't be surprised.
