    I'm not speaking of you or anyone in particular at the moment, by the way. Just generalizing for now.
    Im tracking you! And while I did target his particular posts specifically, its an indicative example of the epidemic that we usually have this time of year.
    Lots of speculation on a game that has seen very little visual pre-release exposure. Basically, a lot of complaining with no basis and no regard to explanation.

      in general I dont get why the community didn't pressure SCEA into including 2 versions of MLB BP with retractable roof already long ago? I mean I would much rather have those in the game than classic, spring training or all the minor league parks..
      It is likely all the spring training and minor league parks were rebuilt as well.

      Also, I feel like there were limitations on doing it in the PS3 version. Maybe I am mistaken, but seems like the case. It's been asked about for a long time.

      But I definitely do not understand why you would rather have a few open/closed dome ballparks that really serve no purpose other than visual satisfaction as opposed to spring training and minor league parks.. Maybe it is just me, but I would much rather have Spring Training and minor leagues included than 6 domed stadiums.

If a hardcore gamer means someone who knows all the ins and outs of the nitty gritty details of MLB, then I am definitely NOT hardcore (though SCEA's The Show title has definitely helped me learn some of these details). But if hardcore is more like "spends many hours playing the game". Then I guess I am sort of hardcore.
      I would say that is definitely what a hardcore gamer is. Which really can translate to hardcore baseball gamer. I love video games, but The Show brings out a new side to me. I love the tiniest of details in baseball and I follow the season religiously (all teams, not just my own). So I would consider myself hardcore.

        There is absolutely nothing wrong expressing your displeasure with the game, the development of the game, the graphics.... whatever.

        But when it gets to a point where its beating a dead horse even in the face of legitimate explanation, any retaliation one receives for their incessant complaining, is self induced.

        I personally tried to explain it to him very respectfully and his initial response was, "Quite Pathetic".
        Thats the sort of comment that begins the buffet of vultures on that type of carrion attitude.
        While that's true to a point, I would also think that, if this "community" is as mature as we profess it to be, we can hold ourselves to the same standard of respectful communication as we do new people. The legitimate explanation you reference rarely comes without surrounding condescending posts (sometimes even from the same person offering the explanation...lol). My point being, at some point, we can stop as well.

        In other words, we aren't required to gang tackle every complaint (legit or otherwise) that comes across, so sometimes it's best to keep our mouths (err...keyboards) shut as well. Much of the trolling is exacerbated by posters feeling ganged up on because so many regulars feel the need to get their say in. It may even be in jest at times (though often that's a post-drama fallback/excuse), but put yourself on the receiving end of nothing but meme after meme and shot after shot and see how you fare in discerning the difference.

        Point being, dissenting opinion is highly valuable if for no other reason that it demands a level of examination that like-mindedness obviously can't reach. People shouldn't have to tip-toe around the majority to get their point across. In terms of the actual trolls, as we can see, we have mods active here and a "report post" button that can much more effectively accomplish the clean-up work so many try to get in on. the beauty of trolls is that they can't help themselves and, eventually, will bury themselves. No need to tarnish ourselves trying to push them along.

        Anyway, I'm not jumping on your post or meaning to belabor the point. So, I apologize for continuing off-topic! I won't post any more on the matter. (EDIT: To clarify, I'm speaking to the general forum behavior mostly in support of the good points brought up by H&Vs and kehlis, not specifically to this thread or any particular poster.)



        More on topic (one soapbox later...lol ) I'm excited about the potential for create-a-stadium. Knowing how close we might be to having it when combined with the assets that DD already makes available, makes me drool at the possibilities of a beefier version of my ASB days!

          nuke_21 just laid out a great blueprint of how NOT to critique the game.

          I think for the most part others have been doing it respectfully and with good intentions though

                IMO, GP videos never do the game any justice. Watching a 2nd hand video on a 15" screen vs the real thing on a 65"+ HDTV yields no comparison.

                  I may not and do not agree with almost all the opinions of the people feeling let down right now (I'm loving what I'm seeing, by the way), but it's distressing to see some of these newcomers get jumped all over by some OS vets because someone is let down with a feature not getting in, or a screenshot not being what they'd expected, etc.

                  There are some trolls here, sure. But some posters are getting jumped all over for being underwhelmed and that sort of undermines the spirit of OS, if you ask me.

                  While I agree somewhat......and I do feel that a "new"(sorry...but too many "new" guys are just PBU's) members should get a little latitude until they get a feel for what's acceptable for O.S.
                  However, while I also see a distressing trend here lately...it's the other side of the coin. There are many jabs at members from certain posters that are unnecessary and are just allowed to go without a word(PLEASE don't tell me I can report a post or thread.....I have never ratted on anyone and never will).
                  This is the first year since joining O.S. that I have thought taking a little self imposed sabbatical around this time of year....it's getting that annoying.
                  It's extremely tiring and IMO is the reason you are seeing more and more "backlash" when these things are posted.

                  Without a doubt.....thing need to be pointed out and discussed. Feelings should be heard...ideas translated...
                  But when it is the same droning over and over...ESPECIALLY when it's something the dev has specifically come on here and noted and/or addressed....it's when it starts to hit the absurd and somewhat comical level.

                    It's not as simple as adding a roof that opens or closes.


                    They have to create two versions of each stadium with a retractable roof (I think there are 5 or 6). Building EVERY stadium from scratch this year it's not too much to ask to give them leniency on that this year.
                    Ya know, while I get everything u said here, im more irked that they chose the wrong option for having one version of each retractable roof.

                    For example Marlins Park and Rogers Centre should both be closed and not open if they had to choose just one. First of all both of those roofs are closed maybe 90% of the time throughout the season and most importantly I can't believe its actually possible to play in those parks with the roof open while it rains! Marlins Park was actually specifically built with a roof because of the Miami rain all summer long... but in the show it rains at Marlins park with the roof open?

                    Hate to rag on The Show but that really seems like a strange oversight.

                      The thing about rebuilding an entire stadium is that it takes way more manpower than adding signs or other small features. Not all features are the same in terms of work-required.

                      And as for the Negative Nancies, just ignore them and let the conversation return to productive conversation instead of getting things off track. Plenty of productive comments here deserving of attention.

                      Back on subject: I was surprised that the crowd models had been reduced from >1,000 to a couple hundred, but I wouldn't have guessed that from looking at the screenshots. The crowd this year looks almost real, and is probably the biggest step up I can remember for this game in terms of realism in recent history. Very promising.

                        This I would agree with.

                        If they couldnt do both, IMO the best option would be to make them closed.
                        However, then you would have the other half complaining that you cant open the roof.

                        You just cant please everyone. And they know that.

                        I admire their patience with some of these comments. Seriously!
