By pushing the borders, any chance you mean women's leagues, Hobbit leagues, baseball in Botswana? I know at least 25% of all users are in favor..

The Show is awesome but I am 41 years old with four kids. It is tough to have the time to play it. I like to play out all games on OOTP and I just can flip up my laptop and play a game when I get some spare time.

As someone who doesn't own a PS4... Where is RBI Baseball on this survey???

Combine Show-caliber graphics with OOTP?

Giants44 · 02-26-2016, 11:45 PM

I voted both since that is accurate.

But I play OOTP 95% and the show 5% and I dont see that changing.

I'm the same. OOTP I play my long running fictional league, The Show I get to play the current MLB.
If there wasn't OOTP I would play The Show tons more because I like the game but only have time to play one season.
If there wasn't The Show I would play current MLB in OOTP because it's also very good.

I only play the Show on Vita, so my answers may not reflect what the PS4 version has to offer.

I love playing RTTS, but I cannot stand the Show's franchise mode. Part of it is because I have been spoiled by OOTP, but I also feel like franchise mode is far too clunky in the Show. It's a shame, because I do enjoy playing the games out in manager mode. I don't ever expect the Show to rival OOTP in a management context, but I wouldn't mind having an improved franchise mode to play with from time to time.

I do not play Franchise mode on the Show anymore due to OOTP

idk..but I loved that game

Hotwheelz · 03-01-2016, 06:29 PM

I chose both but its not even close. I don't have the skill to play much of The Show. Only road to the show, as a pitcher, and even then its on classic. Ill play maybe 2 hours a week.

OOTP.....I play that every second I have a chance. When I am watching TV (or a movie) ill have my laptop open with OOTP running.

I may or may not swing at anything thrown my way in the show. I guess I can just role play and pretend I'm Evan Gattis trying to tomahawk the ball. That game requires a level of hand eye coordination that I do not possess.

Maddox · 03-02-2016, 06:14 PM

I will admit to being an MLB: The Show guy first and foremost, mainly playing Road To The Show.

I don't think I would ever do a full blown franchise mode in that game though as OOTP is much better suited to that task.

209vaguhn · 03-07-2016, 06:34 PM

Apples and oranges. OTTP scratches my management itch. The Show scratches my baseball itch.

NYJin2011tm · 03-07-2016, 09:14 PM

I play The show in free time and OOTP while I watch Mets games. OOTP is my full blown sim and The show is when I just want to have fun playing a game. The games are different and there is room for both.

jasonzimmie · 03-07-2016, 09:33 PM

I play OOTP and The Show together I really think that Sony San Diego could learn a lot if they were to play OOTP
