Is it lazy that they implemented a whole new budget system? I mean I can keep going on if you want.

    The two whole new game modes and throwback/flashback cards were added exclusively to make money from microtransactions.

      The devs have decided that its gain is not worth the monetary loss at this point in time. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with laziness or anything of the sort, its a business decision. They choose to spend their money and resources elsewhere in this game and while you don't like DD or Conquest there are plenty of those that do.

        This isn't an argument or a debate.

        Calling the dev team lazy is not permitted here and is in no way necessary.

        I advise you to drop it.

          You're being pretty delusional here. You're stuck thinking MLB2k10 is better because there is a playable Single A teams

          SDS is far from Lazy and the fact they actually make a profit making a baseball game while 2k didn't, seems like they are doing something right. And being lazy isn't one of those things.

            Also, I would love this game to have playable Single A, but not at the expense of anything else this game has.

            Does that mean OOTP had to pay to have A-ball and R leagues in the game?

            Just wondering since licensing costs were brought up. If so, I can only imagine how much money it costs to have all those winterball and foreign leagues out of the box!

            Anyway, I don't mind the lack of playable A-ball, but it would be nice if they got sim stats instead of just being in some sort of abyss.

            That and 100 roster spots (25 per level).

              As of right now, you can;t play any minor league games in season mode.
              Noooooooooooooooooo.

              I love season mode precisely because it has just the 40-man rosters.

                I would love to have stats and a full 25 man roster for A-Ball.

                  I think I've seen some mention elsewhere that because OOTP is text based, they are held to a different standard over what games like the Show, 2k, high heat, Triple Play, to name a few are/were held to.
                  T-BONE.

                        Yeah, it has something to do with the "type" of likeness they are creating.
                        As you pointed out, creating a name and plopping up a picture or creating one is completely different than attempting to create a unique, digital version of a person, down to the clothes and gear that they wear and the way they swing the bat, etc.

                              by suggesting over and over that the dev are lazy and/or selfish for not including this one thing in the game, and refusing to give them the benefit of the doubt, you're implying that you think the game which does have those things is, in fact, better. even if you're not explicitly stating it.

                              additionally, your tone suggests that you are very unhappy with the game. a reasonable person would think that somebody who is unhappy with a particular product precisely because it doesn't have some aspects that a different product does have, prefers the latter product.
