Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update
I don't want to be a disgruntled player, and I really am not. I have started my franchise using workarounds and am hoping a patch will fix the issues I might see a month or two down the road BUT............
To everyone who defends SCEA and jumps on those who are dissapointed let me say please STOP!!
Let the dissapointed be dissapointed, let the upset be upset. They have that right. If you like the game and you are not upset or dissapointed then good for you. You can point out what you like about the game, or hope for a fix or be positive about solutions. But to defend the game as being just "EVERY game has bugs or glitches no matter how small or how big they may b." and "Don't play franchise for a few weeks" seems like you are somehow prioritizing your feelings above the person who says they are dissapointed.
Imagine any other situation where this happens, and you can't compare apples to apples here, but you can compare the product to other products:
1. You buy a HD TV, but the HD doesn't work. Don't worry though Sony knows about it and they will fix it with a firmware patch in the next few weeks or months. In the meantime enjoy everything in 480I.
2. The Sony Blu-Ray player you just bought won't play regular DVD's, but Sony's aware of that and is working on a fix. In the meantime buy more Blu-rays.
3. You got a brand new Sony Laptop and guess what, everything is excellent, best laptop in many ways except the mousepad doesn't work on it. There is a couple work arounds though, so shouldn't be a big deal.
The point is, the customer has the right to say: This is bad business practices, and I paid money for a product that I expected to work how I want it to work. Just because it's a game doesn't mean that it is allowed to be worse quality. I only used Sony products to make a point, but realistically you could use any situation. The problem with SCEA is two things: 1- The 2k series is so bad and there is no other competition that people will put up with this bad product. 2- People not only put up with these "Bugs" in video games, but according to the poll they think the game is "GREAT!" Why would SCEA change when this is the environment their games are released into.
