I'm honestly tired of making excuses for them. It's not about the size of the team as much as getting the "right" things in. Simplifying the franchise mode is the last thing franchise guys wanted. If I ask my wife to go buy bread and milk at the store and she comes home with eggs and ice cream, is it because she didn't have enough money? Or is it because she maybe wasn't listening when I told her I needed bread and milk.

That analogy isn't even in the same ballpark. I feel either some just don't believe or choose to ignore how much goes into creating/coding a video game. It isn't as simple as giving someone a shopping list.

Just stop it right there. If you don't like it, don't buy it, simple as that.

A development team that is about three or four times larger?

I mean we do pay the same price for both games.

I get that more can always be added in and a lot of people are upset that its not. Unless we are on the other side we have no idea about what resources are needed for certain things and if its worth it for them. I play a lot of franchise and some things could be added but I like the additions to help get through a couple seasons instead of 1.5.

Franchise may not got what you wanted but overall there are a lot of additions to this game, and if its not what you want then you can be unhappy and frustrated but maybe take a step back and try to look at it from their point of view. They want to attract new users, OS is not the rule of what the Show should be even though its a great thing that they do listen even if its not feasible for them to implement certain things.

Some seem to think that only what they want should be important, and it can be important to them but its their came they are the ones who are entitled to choose what to do with it. Im sure if a bunch of OSers didn't buy the game this year it wouldn't affect their sales.

Looking forward to March 28!

Why? Because I buy the game every single year and would like to see certain things implemented? Just because you tell me not to buy the game doesn't mean I won't. Stop defending the game, you sound like a fanboy. Glad you get out of the game whatever it is you ask for every year.

Very true. You charge the same amount for the game as 2K does. Maybe it's time to get some more help on the payroll

This doesn't make sense at all.

You can't see pitch count. You can see pitcher energy.

I didn't see this. If anybody has a screenshot can you share it?

Atleast having the pitcher energy will be helpful. Thanks for the heads up Mil.

I think people seem to be forgetting this, even though it happened less than six months ago:

http://www.operationsports.com/news/...ow-unaffected/

It isn't as easy as, "oh, give them more people!" or "oh, just divert some resources here!"

We're lucky to have this awesome 80-man team that works well and makes the game flow better than any other big title. With the large teams that Madden and 2K have, I often feel like there are a lot of disconnects between areas of their games, which leads to a number of "game breaking" issues.

I'm not even a The Show homer, as I was underwhelmed at the initial stream, but so far this is shaping up to be the best game they've ever created. Sure, they didn't completely revamp franchise, and sure, they probably didn't touch Online Franchise. But if there is anything I've learned as a Cubs fan, trust the process. Everything they do is calculated and is on a solid plan that starts with a solid foundation.

I'm not discounting any complaints by the way, I just believe that some people should look at the bigger picture at times.

And NBA 2k17 outsold MLB: The Show 16 just short of 5:1


4.98 million for NBA 2k17 (2.83 on the PS4)
1.03 million of MLB: The Show


So it is not surprising that the NBA 2k team can support a much larger development team.

You can see the energy bar just to the right of Arrieta's portrait.





Of course, my question with this screenshot is why is Diaz leading off in front of Fowler?

SCEA is not catering to us, they are catering to the casual player.

Who, whether you or I like it or not, make up the overwhelming majority of the player base, and is responsible for the majority of the revenue.

Exactly, let's not forget that OS makes up less than 1% of MLB The Show's revenue.
