JB — it’s not an all-time greatest list, just my favorites… I’ll agree that The Show may be better than those games, but I can’t rank it since I’ve never had a PS3.
As for 2K8, I felt that Brinkman’s improvements really made the game great. It got horrible reviews and the online was buggy as hell, but overall it was the closest thing to Baseball Stars for me.

Well, 2K8 took a half step forward by making it slightly more fun via the controls. But then took three steps backward with technical difficulties, worse graphics and the fact that 2K abandoned it when they fired the entire team and started working on the pile o’ dung that was 2K9…

yeah, 2K9 was indeed a pile o’ dung… no argument there… I returned my copy after a couple games…

Liked the top 10 list in theory, except for two things:
If you don’t have a PS3, and thus can’t comment on MLB The Show, your list is incomplete at best
MLB 2K8 as #2. Please. Maybe if it was 2K7 and a bit lower, well, that I could respect, but MLB 2K8 was the beginning of the end for the series

My Top 5 All-Time
1. RBI Baseball, NES
2. All-Star Baseball 2004, PS2
3. MLB 2K5, PS2
4. All-Star Baseball 2001, N64
5. Baseball Simulator 1.000, NES
What a shame these exclusivity rights are.
