February 28, 201016 yr The Marlins are ranked 26th overall... but to make it even worse, our pitching is ranked dead last... We have one of the best 1-2 punches in the league and were rated last?!?!?! Our offense is also rated 21st, which should certainly be higher. Probably the worst ranking I've ever seen is the fact the Braves are 6th overall. MLB the show is an amazing game but they could have at least done better for a team that won 87 games, finished 5 games behind the Phillies and are only gonna get better this year.
February 28, 201016 yr The Marlins are almost always severely underrated in video games. It's unfortunate.
February 28, 201016 yr It's a shame that they're ranked so low, but what can you do? I only have a XBox 360 so I'll be getting MLB 2k10 on Tuesday. The demo and previews seem to indicate its a big improvement of the crappy 2k9 so I'm hopeful it'll be a good game and that the Marlins are decently rated in it. We shall see.
February 28, 201016 yr You gotta understand who is most likely buying these games Yea but, you can still rank "those teams" in the top 5... and be a little more respectful to the Marlins... there are NOT 20-something teams between us an the Yankees or Red Sox. Actually its not even about respect. Its about obvious facts of where we finished last season and has nothing to do with respect. If anything its disrespect, cause it seems those games purposely push us down just for the heck of it. Oh well, I'll just buy the game and win the world series with the 26th ranked team.

I really like the demo but one thing that bothers me is the fielders are so darn fast. They get to almost every ball in the gap.
February 28, 201016 yr Is this a joke? Nope. These folks think John Madden is actually in that little box giving them football plays.
February 28, 201016 yr Is this a joke? Nope. These folks think John Madden is actually in that little box giving them football plays. No, I mean the ranking. I play these games too. Anyways, the Braves are ranked 6 in this game, to make things worse.
February 28, 201016 yr This is going to bother me when I'm developing my pitcher and I'll have no control of the results of 4 out of 5 of the games and they'll probably lose three of the simmed games (Unless they changed it from the past ones-the last time I played The Show was '06-where they sim through the games you don't play in). Hey, I like pitching better than batting, and I don't have time for a fully involved franchise with baseball, unless it's MLB Power Pros where the games go by fast, and they don't release those here anymore.
February 28, 201016 yr You gotta understand who is most likely buying these games Sorry man but i have to disagree with you here, the "people" that play these games are not just the New York and LA folks who demand their team be the best, they are baseball fans, i am sure more people would like better, more realistic rankings on the game, rather than the ones in the game, because i would think that all of the people that play this game are baseball fans, and would like an accurate product over one that favors one team over another unfairly. Regardless, give it a week and user made "fair" rosters will start poping out.
February 28, 201016 yr It's done by an objective formula http://www.operation...62-post121.html Likely we're so bad because of Gaby/Logan/Maybin, and the mass amount off high potential-bat sh*t horrible production of pitching we have outside of JJ and Ricky. Or the formula is just stupid. Which is certainly a massive possibility:
February 28, 201016 yr I play MVP 2005 for PC with updated rosters. The 2K franchise is awful but The Show seems solid, I just don't own a PS3.

You obviously haven't seen what fans write about the Marlins on other message boards.

That's why everytime I get this game I change the players abilities therefore improving the Marlins ranking to where it should be.
March 1, 201016 yr I play MVP 2005 for PC with updated rosters. The 2K franchise is awful but The Show seems solid, I just don't own a PS3. I agree... the 2k franchise has been awful, but check out the demo for 2k10 if you have an XBox 360 or anything. 2k10 seems like a nice step in the right direction.

You obviously haven't seen what fans write about the Marlins on other message boards. My argument has nothing to do with the Marlins, i am talking about parity in general, and i do know the things that are said about the Marlins.

Most people (including myself) said the same thing after the 2K9 demo.
March 1, 201016 yr Most people (including myself) said the same thing after the 2K9 demo. That's fair enough really. The previews for 2k10 from what I've read on such sites as IGN and others seem a lot more favorable then they did for 2k9, but I know some people will have felt burned from before and will just scoff at any notion of trying it out. We'll have to see come Tuesday.
March 1, 201016 yr We were 29th at the start of last year on 2009. The Braves were 3rd. It's nothing new.
March 1, 201016 yr Does anyone know if they release updates that change ranks and player attributes Yes they do, weekly. Throughout the season, real life stats, and thus attribute changes, are reflected in the updates. Example, Coghlan would have had higher attributes in the September updates than he did in the May updates.
March 1, 201016 yr Just saw that the developers have released lists of the top 10 position players of each position and hanley is second at ss to jose reyes of all people. Sorry I can't post a link; I'm on an iPhone, google it

I'm buying it tomorrow but don't feel comfortable tweaking attributes on my own.
