MLB '10: The Show Demo Has Been Submitted, Waiting on Sony, Not SCEA

05:17 PM - February 25, 2010 by Steve_OS

Just to keep everyone up to date on the whereabouts of the MLB '10: The Show demo. Thanks for the confirmation Chris.

	"I am not sure what purpose would be served by misleading you. We said there will be a demo....and there will be a demo. The simple fact is....The demo HAS been completed....the demo HAS been submitted for approval and posting. We, as devs of the game, have absolutely ZERO control as to when it gets approved or posted."

*UPDATE: From one of the admins at The Show Community.

Regardless of who's to blame, theres an fundamental problem that is affecting us all. The demo isn't out fellas...Last year it was out I believe a month before the game released? Very dissapointing to fans of the game to see multiple posts about it being submitted or finished week after week, only for Thursday to come and not have it be there. Also, the 2K10 demo is out on the 360 but as per the update today isn't included in the PS store update. Is Sony just completely boycotting baseball demos altogether?

No you won't.

It's more like a Few Good Men than Perry Mason. I'm expecting someone from Sony to give me the whole "you can't handle the truth" bit.

There's a massive rush here to defend SCEA at every turn.

And? Do you require the demo to buy the game? Are you on the fence? If so, that is fine, you will just have to wait a little longer to make your decision.

An arrogant response like that seems befitting of this thread.

God of War III demo isnt in the US Store either so whoever is at the helm over there isnt doing their job or they do multiple roles and is ignoring the one that effects us.

This thread is getting more amusing than the Top 5 threads.

Next thing you know...SCEA is going to get blamed for bringing down the Trade Center and starting global warming!

Sweet!

The rush to defend...(where applicable) is only as quick as the rush to attack....for quite ridiculous(IMO) reasons.....and the amount of ferocity at some of these...has me thinking of my own conspiracy theories

Question? Would everyone trade the ticker that made it late in the game for the demo to be out now or a couple weeks earlier? We left SCEA with a pretty good list of items to see if they could still be incorporated in the game. This go around at CD we saw more last minute requests by the group get put in the game and they were solid additions. I know everyone wants the demo but I would rather have these last minute additions for a whole season then a demo that gets deleted after a couple plays! Just my take on things.

I'd like to go down to my small local store and give them my business, not some big multinational store who really don't need it to survive. Whoever makes these decisions is seriously taking the piss with what's been a very loyal customer base. I should say this again, no one is pointing fingers or taking shots at the development team, but I'm sorry to say I may just wait on this game and go for PYS2010 when it hits in April.

I'm sorry, I've gotten to the point where I'm like Job's friend:

"Inside I am like bottled-up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst. I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and reply."

Leap of faith? Have you played '09? Exactly what kind of catastrophic occurrence are you anticipating that would cause the best sports game out there to suddenly become not worth purchasing? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we able to get the classic stadiums by paying? So they give you the option to get DLC for free and that's a problem?

Are you complaining that they are offering us the chance to play the full game at a retailer before the actual launch date? Who says you can't go somewhere else and purchase the game? Who's stopping you? Who's providing a disincentive?

A piss with the customer base? Are we talking about the same people who brought customers over for input (twice, right?), listened, changed things, and then let those same customers share it all on an internet message board? The same people going to those lengths to strengthen customer relations like no one else in the business is taking the piss by not releasing the demo before the release date?

I'll go back to quietly reading everything now, just had to let that out.

You bastard!
How dare you use my ticker as a pawn in this shady deal.
I know where you live!(well a 25 mile radius anyway)
You're treading on thin ice there buddy!

Thats why people have a problem its the best baseball game and nobody can try it out. 360 has a lesser game in 2k10 yesterday. Dont you feel slighted at all that Sony would rather have you goto Best Buy to try it out then let you download it. Instead you can try Sega racing and a PS1 game Yakuza 3.

You bought the PS3, get crappy 3rd party ports, have to wait for demos and now Sony is treating you like a 2nd class citizen just like everyone else does.

No. I'm a little confused as to why anyone would feel slighted at that? You already know what you are going to get with the game. There are no surprises unless they are for the better. And as I have mentioned several times now, if you are on the fence about buying, you will still get the demo to try out before you make your decision...

Since when did demo's become a requirement?

# 117 SidVish @ 02/25/10 08:46 PM

This thread is amusing. Let's dish out conspiracy theories and worry about a game that has been nothing short of great. That makes perfect sense. I can't wait for March 2.

Really, I think we are all pretty lucky to be getting a Demo

# 119 Buckeyes_Doc @ 02/25/10 08:47 PM

Was anyone really on the fence with this game lol? I wanted a demo also but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm not going to buy the game on Tuesday. We all know were getting the best baseball game available and most of us aren't new to the Show.

Not using it as a pawn, it was a great last minute significant addition. Ding Dong!
