Cam someone amswer me honestly because I really don't get it. Are we not allowed to play two sports games at once? I can understand if a new baseball game came out and people jumped ship but why because Madden came out would people stop playing this for that? Can't they do both?
I haven't played Madden in years but at one point I'd play 2K, Madden and The Show and really only head to head with friends.
To the OP's point, I do think The Show has had some misses recently most notably Griffey but I think that is just part 1 of a much bigger program.
It's the same BS as the console war stuff. It's this need to say one thing is better an that this one thing (madden) is the best because it made people choose it over the other thing(MLB)
It's all dumb play what makes you happy, I am playing Lego Star Wars for the next 3 days since I got all the bosses.

Did a decent madden put the nail in MLB?
No.
Its the same every year. A group of MLB The Show players bolt for the newest and shiniest Madden.
The rest of us continue to play MLB The Show.
Me, personally. I have no desire to go to Madden.
this is 100% the take

I still cannot figure out how to play Baseball in Madden. So I will stuck around. If I want to play NFL I will play Madden. But no desire to play football right now that's for sure. Temps have to drop at least below 100 for me to consider thinking of football.

Well, when the app and the website has been down for 24 hrs for Xbox users, that may kill things.

Just busting your balls. I actually thought it was quite funny

Planning on skipping Madden this year. I’ll be gone when 2k comes out though.

2K? Wrestling, Golf and Basketball all seem to come out around the same time.

People just like to declare things, I guess.
I still play EASHL in NHL, and this.
Now that I hit 500K in the program, I'm free to play F122, hopefully get all GT7 trophies, and try to get the super grindy Train Sim World 2 Platinum, and still play The Show when the next program comes out.
No way this game is dead in August!EDIT: I now have Gold in 3 out of 10 Super Licence tests in GT7 fwiw.

I play both and the biggest issue is time. Both games force you to stay engaged with expiring timeliness for promos. It almost becomes a job. Now if you work a real job that pays the bills you only have so much time for that second job. You have to choose one game over the other if you want to stay competitive without spending real money.

I play 2K but not MyTeam so, I’ll still play both games next month, might be a little away from MLB while I upgrade MyPlayer to 99 and get the necessary badges to play in the ProAm and The Rec with my squad.
This will happen every year, especially around this time when collections are done and most have stubs in the bank to buy cards.

One thing for sure is that the player base isn't anywhere near last years game.

NBA 2K for me. I just play myplayer/park/rec. it’s a nice change. I only get it every 2-3 years so it stays fresh for me and I haven’t had it since I’ve gotten a PS5.
Lately I’ve been getting MLB every summer because I love baseball games the most. Usually alternate between Madden and 2k towards the fall.
Madden’s lost a lot of my interest the past couple of years because of how unrealistic it is. I get that it’s a fantasy and unrealistic to have legends/current/dead players playing together but I just can’t stand the out of position stuff. The fact that Derrick Henry was the most overpowered QB from December-on was enough for me to skip at least a year. It’s also a lot harder to go NMS even just doing a strictly Broncos TT. The limiteds make average cards 4-5x what they’re worth.

Ummm you know this how, with switch you’re saying it sold less copies and generated less money?

I'm gonna need you to provide some tangible evidence to this statement

Based on what? I haven't had any wait times finding online games. I would venture a guess that most switch players are offline only, so you aren't going to know how many if them are playing, and there is a pretty decent chunk that bought this game just for co-op.

The newer game has more hype to it and makes for more exciting content for streamers. Plus by the time Madden comes out MLBTS has been out for what, 5 months? I think people just get burnt out.
All the people who mention the 99 Griffey disappointment as to why more people are going to Madden is comical. How long is the best 99 Griffey gameplay keeping you interested in MLB The Show?

I'm a regular Madden player, still playing The Show. Madden's MUT isn't what it used to be... it's just a giant cashgrab. DD mode is better... but I wish SDS would do something to make online play better, because their servers are pathetic.
