MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

[Pared]

Right.

If you feel THAT strongly about it, stop buying games on release and force sports game companies to fix their QA. Don't buy it first, then complain later.

Be proactive, not reactive.

It's not like you guys don't know this cycle. Heck, people start looking for things to be patched on release day...

Exactly. I for one still think The Show is by far the best baseball game made. Am I disappointed in some of the issues? Of course.
But the issues will get addressed and I'm still enjoying the game and having fun.

yes.

And because of how well SCEA has prev done with their baseball games (nothing really compares)...it's turned into an unintentional monopoly.

what else are you going to do?

well, I know next yr SCEA won't get my money in March....they'll get it later in the year.

I will just wait until the patches come out then buy the game after that. I refuse to buy any more sports games until patches are out. You dont have to deal with the bugs and glitches and by then you can get the game for $20.00 less than release day and it is completed.

I wish I had your resolve- that's obviously the best way to go to save money, time, and frustration...

sadly...I reverted back to playing MLB09. Now if friends come over, we'll play MLB10... but for my franchise fix, etc... MLB09 until MLB10 gets fixed.

The lengths you guys go to in order to make a point is outrageous.

No software company does this. NONE. I understand you're upset but no point here is grounded and based on reality, simply what-if's. IMO there is no point on discussing what-if's. When you get into a discussion like that, you can argue anything forever, and it's a complete waste of time.

Well what you quoted was hypothetical. You are wrong however, I am a software developer and my company is responsible for fixing problems when we release something and if we don't we are penalized for it. I don't however work in the video gaming industry which is different.

I do however take that post back because I remembered what game I am currently playing. Empire Total War, a game that was really bug infested until recently when the latest of many patches over the last year has made it finally playable. I don't remember being upset that it was basically unplayable for a year almost. I was content with waiting until it was fixed. Now that it is fixed I'm having a lot of fun playing it.

So I will be content until MLB 10 is fixed, however long it takes.

Well, like I mentioned earlier, we continue to go off topic (I've contributed to it). So now, I have to be the bad guy.

Not much else to discuss. You guys have the update, and at this point it's simply a waiting game.

If you have franchise issues you'd like to post, feel free to do so. But the OT discussions end here.

Thanks.
