    Re: 2K Sports Annoucement Regarding Freezes!

    A friend of my brother works at Gamestop. He said his store got an email about the issue which basically said the problem occurs with HDTV and that they will have a patch as soon as possible.

          First its a drive, then its the disk, then its the TV lol. Give me a break people. The reality is, is that 2k sports probably doesnt know yet what the REAL issue is. Those 3 things they have mentioned and that I just mentioned are totally independent of each other. Any monkey who's worked in QA at any kind of company knows that. They are throwing people a bone to chill you out until they can figure out what the real problem is. Its called "dammage control" and thats what they are doing now so we all dont flip out and go on a corporate witch hunt.

          And to be honest, most workers at EB and Gamestop are idiots. Most are not even die hard gamers like the people who come in and buy the games. All they do is say hi when you come in, and when you pick up what you came in there for they bugg you about trade ins and "oh have you put your money down on Madden 2007?? you know we are only gonna get so many copies" (and they ask you about this 8 months before the game is coming out) then they try to sell you the hint book to the game you just bought, and they say "hey man! youre gonna need this! and we an give you 20% off today for it!" Then when you tell them no for the 3rd time they get that "okay" with the tone of voice as if youre somehow making the biggetst mistake of your life for not buying the 20 dollar add on that you didnt want in the first place. They all get on my last nerve, they all do it, in every store..and why? cuz they are told to. I used to manage one. Every week they report thier numbers as far as sales go, MST (multiple sku transaction which is when you come in for one thing and they try to get you to buy an add on to it wether it be a guide , the 3 dollar warranty, etc), pre pays, etc. For once could the dumb-asses at these places shut up, and ring me up. period. Most of us here know more about the games, when they are REALLY coming out and technical issues than the Keanu Reves Jr. Skater boy with the long hair working behind the cash register who seems to talk like hes about to catch some waves on the sunny beaches of cali.

          SHUT UP, RING ME UP, AND DONT FEED ME BS ABOUT GAMES THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW ABOUT (thats not directed to the person I quoted, its to all the EB/Gamestop idiots out there)

Does anyone have any suggestions or a solution to this very frustrating problem. Because I cannot start my franchise, I want some updated rosters. lol.

              Thanks
              Your VIP has the same name as your Gamertag - that freezes the system at XBL login. Just rename the VIP.

                What are you talking about if you hold LT when the throw is coming in from the outfield your cut-off man grabs it, then you can throw wherever you want. It should be required to read the booklet before you post about things that aren't in the game. GEEEEEEZ!!!!!

                    They assume everyone has time since you'll be sitting down to play a game for an hour anyways.

                        It usually takes a lot to piss me off but this situation has managed to do it. Eb Games refuses to take the game back because they say "2k is working on it" But since I opened it I can get a new copy. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I'm gonna raise hell until I get my money back.

                          I dont know why everyone is talking about patches. Patches on console games are hit or miss depending on the problem that needs to be fixed. Had this been a PC game the problem would have been solved by now. Patches come out in droves for PC games. You know why its like that for PC games and not for console games? Simple, most PC games have the bulk of thier game/code installed onto writeable and re-writeable media.. YOUR HARD DRIVE. Console games hardly have any of the game dumped on your HD outside of VIP's, game saves, rosters, etc. Most patches have to get into the core coding of a game to fix the problem. Right now no console systems games are on rewriteable media which is why you see very few things able to be patched on console games.

                          One of three things is going to happen with this 2k Sports bungle.

                          1. The problem will get patched (not likely though IMO because of what I stated previously).

                          2. They cant patch it and they are going to fix it in house and put out replacment disks (IMO its a 50/50 chance on that happening at best).

                          3. We get the shaft. 2k Sports pulls a "White House" and puts a spin on the story stating that they are sorry for the problem, only a few people are experiencing the issue (LIE), we exploring options for the few people who are experiecing this issue (LIE) as well.

                          The reality is that we are the crap between two cheeks of a huge azz. One cheek being 2k sports and the other cheek being the retial sellers. 2k does NOT want to open up the flood gates by publicly stating or giving the "green light" on giving the money back. You have to remember 2k is making money off of you and so are the retailers. If 2k sports tells retialers to stop letting people trade in thier copy for yet another copy (cuz after a while thats gonna cost 2k Sports a lot of money) then thats what the retailers are gonna do because there are fat cats looking at the numbers and the bottom lines for each company and looking at shipping costs, man hours doing return transactionis, etc.

                          In the end after a while if they know they cant really fix the problem we are probably going to just hit a roadblock that we cant cross which will be 2k telling EB to say no, and EB obeying the command. Which then of course opens up a can of worms for a class action law suit BUT at this stage 2k isnt worrieda bout that because to them we are a bunch of dumb gamers.

                              You have no idea what you're talking about. You keep insisting that "patches are impossible", while ignoring that they've been done for years on consoles. patches have been happening since the Xbox came out.

                              Please stop confusing people by acting as an authority who is completely incorrect.

                                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
