    This game seems to slowly becoming Madden in terms of content but it is still head and shoulders above Madden in terms of the user experience and in actual gameplay and this is coming from someone that actually does enjoy Madden still. People like to complain about this game but I think it's clearly the number 1 sports game around (or at least for the 4 major US sports)

    One thing I'd love to see in these sports game is the removal of overall ratings. Leave the tiers, but remove the OVR rating entirely and let players decide purely based on the attributes

    I grinded the f out of MUT this year and it was way more aggravating than anything in The Show. EA is one of, if not the worst consumer friendly company and MUT is designed around the packs and monetization. At least here for the show we get a bunch of fire content and a lot is free or a lot easier to attain. AND you can use any card to still have success, where is in MUT you need the best, highest cards to get the advantage

    Idk man im starting to fear this game is slowly headed the same was. Especially when you're talking about pre determined animations ruling outcomes. I hope not cuz this is the last sports game i have faith in. Just hopping they clean up the animations and some of the rng in the future but im not holding my breathe.

    I can be NMS and leave this game for 2 months and come back to having a competitive team.

    In MUT? lol you're dead after a couple weeks of falling behind

    Oh and you have a 99 speed QB but you didn't spend the training and put an x-factor on your QB? Well he's going to move like Tom Brady behind the LOS

    I don’t even consider buying madden and 2k and I get this game every year for ten years. So yeah I agree it’s vastly superior. Yet the game still aggravates me more than any other.

    Agree 100 percent. The X factors/abilities have made it so much worse too. ea has obliterated any sense of a skill gap with the absurd animations and the abilities.

    SDS definitely does a better job of getting a variety of legends in the game. Madden is the same legends every year and by midway through the year everyone has the same team of legends.

    In madden putting together a good squad nms is an absolute grind. It’s work. Sometimes the rewards for things like time consuming solo challenges are laughable. At least in the show you can get some great players through the xp path and innings programs by just playing the game

    The Show isn't perfect by any stretch, but it really is a quality sports game. Especially when you compare it to a EA release. The ultimate p2w experience.

    Great post OP! Not going to lie, I was 20 times better on Madden than the show but I absolutely enjoy the Show more than I ever have on Madden. The e-books have completely eliminating any variety and I don’t know if you saw but someone won a Madden championship belt by using a punter at qb and running all game. Like what...

    Literally haven't bought/played Madden since '09. It's been all about The Show ever since.

    Hopefully NFL 2K comes back and crushes Madden. 2K's graphics, gameplay, commentary and overall presentation made it a superior experience anyway.

    They're both crappy in their own way, though I give Madden more of a pass because there's a crazy amount the variables at any given moment and plays well offline if you aren't aware of the cheese plays. Baseball is relatively binary when it comes to outcomes so should be 100x easier to program, especially since SDS doesn't even incorporate physics, which is absolutely crazy in 2020. You can almost see the 'if-then' statements firing off in the background.

    I think the problem with both is that they're continuing to use legacy assets/code from the PS2 era, SDS especially (look at the field, batter's box "dirt", mid-swing animation, etc.). A total teardown is in order.
