danc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was hoping that some of you guys could give me your opinion and advice. I am looking to purchase a new pc baseball game but am not sure which to get. My biggest concern is the ability to play against the cpu without having to manually do the fielding. I enjoy pitching, hitting, and running but I would like to have the AI handle the fielding for both teams. That is one big reason why I have been playing MVP for so long. Obviously the other is the magnificent mods that have been developed here. Any suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood70 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The Show is exclusively for Sony Playstation, so that should make your choice a little easier. 2K is the only baseball game currently produced for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Really? I was just on Amazon and saw a windows version of "the show" for sale! Thanks for the response. As far as I know 2k will not let me play the way I described. I was hoping for something with more AI. Rats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes!!!! I guess I just had to wait for a later version. How is 2k11? I have heard mixed results from some others who have played it. Thanks. Qbrick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbrick808 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think 2K11 is amazingly awesome, but that's me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 can i use the keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood70 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 can i use the keyboard? Yes, but I'd recommend getting a gamepad of some kind. I prefer the logitech dual stick, lots of people like Xbox controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qbrick.. Check out Metacritic's page for MLB 2K11 - http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/major-league-baseball-2k11 and MLB The Show's - http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/mlb-11-the-show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbrick808 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Check out Metacritic's page for MLB 2K11 and MLB The Show's That would qualify as a completely irrelevant comparison for anyone interested in playing a great baseball game on a home computer. It's also not a valid sample size for the 2K11 scores with only 5 critics' reviews as compared to 30, and only 7 user reviews as compared to 66. Just to give a specific example of why that's so significant: the only critic's review under 70 for 2K11 cited the reason for the poor review as, "No online content for the German PC version." That guy's score counts as 20% of the overall rating, but do I really care about his specific problem with the game even a little bit? But as stated above, the real key is the PC option and that makes any comparison akin to apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBL Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 You can twist and fight to explain your stance all you want. We all know which game is better. Some people just don't like to face the fact and admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't like to face the fact and admit it. Twist and fight? Are you making some kind of joke or could that possibly be how you actually interpreted my post? I wouldn't know MLB The Show if it hit me in the face, but so what, all I'm interested in is a great baseball game for the PC and 2K has provided that (and will for at least one more year, although that's probably it for new versions). You, my friend, have an agenda. I, on the other hand, am simply engaging in a genuine conversation. Hard to understand why you would waste your time posting here, but feel free... I don't seek censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ummmmmm.... Before this post gets shut down.............. I purchased 2k11 but can not seem to find where to select AI fielding. Maybe it's because of my struggle to navigate the menus with the keyboard ( a real problem...I hate controlers{cramps}) but I can't seem to find the option. I have looked under fielding prefs but it's not there as far as I can tell. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbrick808 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ummmmmm.... I purchased 2k11 but can not seem to find where to select AI fielding. I don't recall whether you need to install the official 2K patch before that becomes available, but believe me, you'll want to install that patch before playing anyway because it's really easy to do and they fixed about 200 problems with the game. You can download that right from this site at http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=6267 As far as your main question, once in the game go into the OPTIONS menu, then select MY CONTROLLER, then select CONTROLLER OPTIONS. On that screen you will see the options for AUTO-FIELDING and AUTO-BASERUNNING. If you set either of those to YES, the computer will handle all of the fielding or baserunning (or both) for you while allowing you to control the rest of the game yourself. ENJOY!!

danc Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks man. I will check out the patch and look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitStyle Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The show is clearly superior in every aspect (except commentary and presentation of course). But here's the thing, I don't think you can really compare them. 2K has a some faults, as does the show, but it's like a completely different animal. Totally different style and I don't think it's meant to be compared. I always get both though, just because any game on PC is automatically superior (MODS!!!).

UBL Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Why can't you compare them ? They're both trying to recreate baseball in a video game simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitStyle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yea but they have a unique style to them. It's like comparing a Porsche to a Lamborghini. They're both cars yes, but different styles of luxury that suit different tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both cars yes, but different styles of luxury that suit different tastes. I disagree with you, but if that was the case, it'd be more like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari.
