This is by far the game i will stick with throughout the season. I just went into a local Gamestop in Philly last Friday 3/10/06, just to look at some games, and check out when MLB 2k6 was being released...at least when "that store" got it. While browsing, i had heard of another baseball game out a few days earlier; it was in fact...MLB 06 The Show. I thought, eh, i'll try it out, it will NEVER compare to MVP BASEBALL, but i'll give it a whirl.
So i paid the 40 bucks or whatever it was and walked out of that Gamestop, on Frankford Ave in Philly with really NO EXPECTATIONS whatsoever!! Just a flimsy little ballgame to get me through till the 21st when 2K6 came out.

Well, needless to say i will NOT be purchasing the 2K6 version this year!! I have found the game that made me forget about MVP Baseball (no, NOT 06) and that is MLB The Show!!!!!!!!!! As i stated, i was BLOWN AWAY buy this game...i had no idea that it would be this good... I mean...a game with "The Show...be any good???....NO WAY...Well i was proved wrong, and i haven't stop playing it since i bought it last Friday!!!!
I encourage anyone, who loved the old MVP Pro baseball (2003-2005), you might wanna think about giving this game a try!!!! BELIEVE ME when i say, i WAS skeptical, when i first popped it in my ps2....which incidently i havent even touched since i got my XBOX..., and needless to say, im TOTALLY SATISFIED with this new baseball sim...MLB 06 THE SHOW!!!!

    Most people are always so focused on the pissing contest between 2K Sports and Electronic Arts that Sony's MLB franchise sneaks under the radar, yet it's one of the best baseball series ever made and a must buy for anyon... Read Full Review

    Good game, but not GREAT!

    Of course everyone wants to compare The Show to the MVP season since we have no MVP this year. It's easy to do but not fair. Anyway... First off, the presentation of The Show is excellent! Each game begins with a M... Read Full Review
