MLB 10 the Show vs MLB 2K10

Baseball fans are always debating which video game is better, MLB 2K10 or MLB the Show. 2K really has made a HUGE leap from last year. However, MLB 10 still triumphs in this video game battle.

Presentation:
Even 2K fans have to admit that The Show has much better graphics. Player models look amazing, and ballparks are amazingly created.  Fans in the Show actually look good. However, 2K still has made a big improvement from last year, and I have to say that their announcing is better. But, comparing the visuals in 2K to the Show isn't even fair. The Show totally wins.

Gameplay:
The Show also wins in this category. In MLB 2K10, there seems to be a glitch where home runs can only be hit to the opposite field. In my many hours of playing, I have never pulled a home run. And, if you try in the Home Run Derby, the only way you can hit home runs is hitting them to the opposite field. Also, 2K doesn't really make the game seem extremely realistic, because there are never any bunt singles, infield hits, or things like that. The Show wins this one too, but not by that much of a margin.

Game Modes:
2K has finally stepped up this year with a My Player mode. However, it still has a little work to do. In the Show, the Road to the Show mode is much more detailed than My Player. You have to position yourself in defensive alignments, and watch the base coach to find out what to do. It really feels like you're in the game. RTTS is basically more detailed in every aspect, with stats such as how you do against different pitchers, and if you are better hitting at home or away. Both games have online leagues, which are basically the same thing.

Cool Things:
One thing that I found really cool in the Show is the Custom Sounds you can add to the game. You can assign music or a recording to a team, add tracks to batter walk-ups, or record your own voice and assign it to a team or a player in a specific situation. 2K also has noticeable glitches, such as when the defense makes an error (which is rarely does), the players almost never go after the ball, and you can get an inside the parker.

Final Notes: In the end, the Show wins again, because of its great cool things, WAYYYYY better presentation, and better gameplay. However, 2K has helped narrow the margin between these two games.
