    Jesus, move on. Someone has to stop responding in this ridiculous exchange: why not have it be you?

      Literally NO ONE is doing that to you, no one. You're taking time out of your day to quote people who are saying they don't like what the game has to offer, telling them that they'll still be watching the stream, telling them to leave the forum if they don't like it, asking them what more would they want? etc.

      No one is attacking you for likes, you just seem to be quoting almost every post that has anything negative to say about the game to feed the fact that you do like it, and that you have NOTHING to complain about.

      You like the game, you don't think people should be complaining. If you don't want people "attacking" you for likes, stop quoting them with condescending comments. It's getting old.

        Yikes. Its just that many people are dissatisfied and happen to disagree with you, there is literally nothing wrong with that. Has nothing to do with likes or solidarity or ganging up on you brother. This isn't some social justice movement.

        *But I digress. My apologies in advance to the mods. I am done arguing. Will try and be more constructive here on out. Lets hold out hope for this stream later!

          Not saying it NEVER happens. But it's incredibly rare.
          You're right that it's rare. But if the game is going to tie in morale to contracts, to the point where if a player is only angry about a contract (and happy about everything else) and still be angry overall, then they have to let us be able to re-do that contract. Or else you're stuck with it and no course of action to avoid the ratings hit.

            Because that's what the forum is for. People are allowed to post about how excited they are for things and people are allowed to post the opposite (obviously to the extent the ToS allows). There aren't individual boards for being happy or unhappy with news.

              In the same sense that you've decided to be critical of every reaction, how can you be 100% sure that more is coming?

              Blogs like this are a marketing gimmick. Essentially they are a 'tease' to get people excited enough about big features that they will tune in to get the full explanation. You don't normally tease your appetizer and then surprise them with the entree.

              Maybe you'll get to say "I told you so", and there are instances in the industry where something out of left field does come up. It's not the norm though so it seems silly to go on a crusade against anyone adhering to that norm. Just my thoughts though.

              I'm a fairly casual MLB the show gamer and have never noticed any big problems with it.
              For me I'd like to see
              -Better budgeting
              -Deeper stat tracking (especially from a historical perspective)
              -Relocation (preferably in the sense of how EA does it with fixed locations so that the presentation can still be made to fit)
              -Full Minor Leagues
              -Expanded trade slots (ie: more than 3 & multi team trades) & Improved Trade Logic.
              -realistic AI trade offers
              -Vastly improved scouting system
              -Retired players become managers
              -Overhaul player progression system
              -Negotiate with draftee's who may opt for college instead
              -International postings
              -Full control of the business aspect (TV deals, prices, etc)
              -Player suspensions

Why keep telling us constantly how unhappy you are and that you're moving to OOTP or not getting the game? Stop beating a dead horse and just move on away from this part of the forum. Plenty of us are getting the game and don't want to listen to the people who aren't getting it constantly belittle every single thing. It's a tired act. Then again you all enjoy ganging up on me because you're all allowed to have your angry opinions but because my opinions aren't stated in anger I'm not allowed to have them.

              But no, the same people right now who are letting it be known right now they aren't getting the game will be right back in here all over again after the stream to keep on beating that dead horse. Why?

              This is a video game forum, and what you're being so haughty goes against the very definition of a forum. Why are you trying to be so antagonistic?

                I'd love to see all of the things in your list but I don't think MLB will ever allow suspensions (or ejections).

                  I'm as disappointed as anyone in the lack of real forward progress in Franchise Mode, but these guys are doing their job and it shouldn't get as personal as it does with some consumers.

                  I don't always understand or agree with their focus and decisions (as is the case with franchise, lately), and I will continue to express my opinions (good and bad), but I trust and respect that these devs work hard with the resources they're given and make decisions based on what they believe is in the best interest of their overall product...not just for a given iteration, but the long term as well.
                  Yeah, the emotional component of my reaction is basically this. I'm bitterly disappointed since Franchise is my reason for buying, but after years of experiencing this, I'm pretty numb to it. This might be the year that a large % of the Franchise crowd migrates to OOTP for good. Like I posted earlier, I'll buy the Show later, but used so that my $ doesn't go to a team that has stopped allocating resources to the mode I care about.

                        Does anyone actually play retro mode? It’s like Rory’s nightclub what a waste of resources.

                          Hopefully we will hear about logic changes, but I would expect they would have said that in the blog if there was.

                          Something along the lines of "numerous logic changes to make franchise as close to real life as possible."

                          I'm really disappointed as of now.

They can keep saying wait til this and wait for that, but we all knew this would happen. But god forbid we call it out, especially when doing so in a non demeaning manner. You can still be disgruntled and be a fan of something, it is allowed. And it’s better to voice those concerns and issues than to sit idly by and watch things go away. Just so long as you do that in a productive manner.
                            FWIW When the mods get here to clean up yet another mess of a thread, I'd just like to state that this is where I believe the attacks started. Criticizing people for their opinion....sounds familiar, no?

                                Yeah, my one remaining hope is more along the lines of small legacy fixes and logic changes as the blog was focused on "what's new."

                                Nothing to do now but wait and see, I guess.
