Yeah they pretty much apply. Yes, the game has been mediocre for the last 3 years, but did you really think they were gonna go all out for 2k13 when development resumed sometime in Oct. Do you have any idea how long it takes to make wholesale changes in games? So again, why would they waste large amounts of time and effort on MLB 2K13 on a lame duck console generation?
Not excuses, just reality.
