    Re: Something to remember...3 year plan....

    From reading the impressions there is only one thing I don't understand. The biggest gripe seems to be the fielding camera. How hard would it have been to just raise the camera view, after the ball is hit, just an itty-itty-witty-bitty bit? I would think that these guys playing their own product all these months might have said, "geez, this is going to cause problems like last year". Did you notice in the pre-release vids how many balls the outfielders misplayed?

    I know they put a ton of work into this, but this one just leaves me scratchin' my head. Is the camera in year two production, or year three?

But MVP had inexcusable errors before year 3 such as the lefty glitch that no game should have. If the game isn't perfect, that's fine, but I'm not going to accept terrible bugs just because 2k is in year 1 of their year 3 plan.
      What terrible bugs are you referring to?

          I'm usually a big fan of 2k games, but I can't spend money on this.

          I didn't play the previous version, but I don't see a great game in this version.

          I refuse to buy it just because it is the only game out there.

            So far i have only had a problem with homeruns being robbed way too often. Anyone else notice this?

              There were problems in the demo thread. Haven't seem anyone have any problems with the actual game. If there are to many, lower OF speed a bit.

                People have every right to complain about this game just as much as any game they're paying full price for.
                You have a right to complain.

                One alternative would be to have the game come out every 3 years, would you like that? I know I wouldn't...

                    How do you think a company such as 2k Sports stays afloat? Through consumer support. It is absolutely not feasible for them
                    to work 3 years on developing a game and then release it - not in the sports gaming industry. Why is this? Well, aside from
                    the obvious things such as being able to stay in business, what about feedback? Surely our feedback is very important
                    to this game. Each year, our feedback will be essential to shaping this game into the super simulation that it will one day be.

                    Well, if you think you can do better, open your own damn company and make the best baseball game ever in 1 year. Or, put your
                    money where your mouth is, and see if YOU can take 3 years to make an amazing game with no budget. Then maybe you'll have an
                    idea what it takes to make it in this world.

                    This all reminds me of idiots who come into a restaurant and don't tip the server because the food isn't good. It's not even the
                    server's fault. All the server does is bring the food for them and, you guessed it, serve them. And that is the only thing
                    that they are being tipped for. Some people are just so stupid, so sucked into their own reality that they don't stop and think
                    for a second about why things might be the way they are. Because 90% of the time, there is good reason they are like that.

                    I'm done.
                    Wow. Just...wow. If 2K needs my money to stay afloat so they can implement their 3 year plan, then they deserve to die. Now THAT'S business. The free market at work.

                      It would be much better imo. The annual sports "upgrade" is the biggest fleecing in the gaming industry. No one else can take a gaming product, slightly upgrade it, repackage it, and then resell it for full price each year.

                      I'd rather pay $60 for a full game and then $20 for a full roster upgrade each year more then the current business model...but that would be too much money they'd lose, obviously.

                        Poor gaming companies! You're comparing developing games to food servers?

                        You don't tip the food servers if the the service sucks, not if the food is bad.

                        2K is not a charity, they are a business. The whole point is this game, like ANY game needs to stand on it's own merits. Not as part 1 of a 3 year plan. If so then it should be a 1/3 of the price.

                        Everyone's getting their undies in a bunch cuz *gasp* not everyone sees all the happy sunshine.

                        My whole point is whether the game is good, bad, or average it should not be evaluated with the premise of it being part of some grander scheme, unless of course you sell it that way.

                        You make it sound like it's our job to support these guys like we're putting them through medial school so they can go find the cure for cancer.

                          Is there a slider for opposing teams defense? If so maybe if their defense was brought down a notch, it would tone down the home-runs being robbed.

                            No one's forcing you to purchase the game. If you have a time machine that allows them to fast forward to 2009, then cool. But you're trying to slam them for trying to give you a realistic expectation. If you don't think this year's game is worth the $60, then save yourself the trouble and don't purchase it. While I hate having no choice for football games, no one made me go out and purchase Madden or NCAA - I made the choice; I'm the one that needs to be more discriminating

                              This is easily better than The Show last year imo. Even the gameplay is better. The fielding no, but the hitting and pitching is definetly better.

                              I can't get over how bad hitting was in The Show. It was a game killer for me.

                                This is where i differ than alot of people. I have no problem supporting a company that has a goal and a direction. I assumed this year wasnt going to be the best game I ever played, and I never expected it to be. When you bring someone like Brinkman aboard, it says they realize they were wrong and that they want to produce something of high quality. I will support that with my purchase of this game.
                                I purchase things all the time, that are not the greatest thing in that genre that was created....we ALL do. I buy Blu rays, cd's, clothes etc ..etc that are not the greatest, but they are still qaulity, and thats all I ask for, for the most part. I just feel we are a little too hard on game company's sometimes, especially one's that are showing marked improvement. SCEA"S 1st iteration of MLB was not really well received, but as each year passed and the quality became more apparent, now its considered to be a great game by the majority.
                                I repsect that everyone wants a great game of baseball, I do also, but I also understand it takes time...and no one here can say that they have not made improvement's to this series and seem to be heading in the right direction.
