          I find that extremely short-sighted. If you go back earlier in the post, you'll find that I responded to a comment about Brinkman playing up the product, which drew a response. I didn't mention another game in this forum because it's pointless to do so, and only causes trouble. My opinions of other games wouldn't alter my opinion of 2K's marketing of this game, or the previous titles in the series. I'm not alone in feeling short-changed by the game in the past, and I'm not going to dance around an obvious issue. Some people do come off as defensive, and if that's not the case with the poster I'm referring to, then I retract any comment about him being so. I think it probably comes down to me being on the forum one month, and the other poster being a long-time member.

            Nah, you're right. I shouldn't have said a thing.

              It's that period between pitchers and catchers and the first Spring Training game. Everyone's a bit antsy at this time of year - I know I sure am. We're both in NY, so that explains a lot.

                              It's probably going to be my next big investment.

                              Just haven't decided on it yet because The Show is the only game I would want to play that PS exclusive. I don't care for Metal Gear Solid or any other titles that are exclusive. I do like the 360 exclusive titles.
