I hope they bash Madden like this when it comes out.

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Maybe it takes these articles to show people from 2K and EA that we are passionate about the games we buy and we just are NOT going take the pieces of crap they have been dishing out. i give 2k credit for trying to change the way we play the game.. i definitely like using the sticks, but my god, the choppiness makes it unbearable. and no, i wont use the profile fix. i pay hard earned money to play on xbox live, and i feel this game should work with it...hands down no excuses....Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
"front end is lously and dull"
-what do you want them to do? i kind of like it with the player backgrounds and the player cards, it could be better (i loved ASB04s) but its not lously or dull
"still had to wait til opening day to until opening day to download an up to date roster"
-there was an update available right away that makes the rosters for sure playable and up to date, want more? than yes wait until MLB changes their rosters so 2k can come up with a new one
"commentary was exactly the same"
-jon miller & joe morgan last year is still better than any other baseball game commentary this year (and still better than a lot of other sports games) if i ain't broke don't fix it
"lineup card"
-yeah its small but u should be able to see it on 42" idk how u can't. sometimes i play on a 20 inch n i can use it. anyways u know which are ur players in and whats the dugout and when its zooms in u can easily read it, otherwise go to the pause menu[/quote]
Dude, if you honestly think they are "hall of fame" broadcasters, then i want to try what you are smokin on!!! they are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not a sony guy at all, honestly, i just use my PS3 as a dvd/blu ray player, but the show has BY FAR better presentation.. this has actually been the low point for any 2K franchise.. presentation has always been an opportunity for 2k.
The rosters out now from 2k still have Johan on the Twins, so yeah, i would say he has to wait for an up to date roster..
most game menus always look dull.. i would much rather them polish the game instead of the game menus themselves..just my opinion..
i game on a 50 sony and i still think they lineup cards font is pretty small.. you can barely see them without zooming in.. i think that might have been the point though.. most managers are kinda old, hence bad eye sight..

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
The game is 60$ ....I mean....it's not 900$.
You guys have never paied 60$ to see a boring ball game ? Did you ask a refund even though on tv all the previews let you think that all games are awesome ?
I think people should stop bashing the game.
I dont remeber any 2k sports guy putting a gun to my head.
Any of us could have rented the game before buying it.Last edited by bullpen; 03-20-2008, 03:28 PM.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
I just don't think the game is as bad as people are saying it is. Its not perfect, but its definately solid.I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
biggest point i can make to that, is we are in a recession here in the US... some people dont have great paying jobs.. some people could barely afford their consoles... so $60 to me, could mean a whole lot more than $60 to you. you might live comfortably, but some of us arent so lucky...Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Let's see, the things he touches on in this article, in order, are...
- Dull presentation
- The commentary is repetitive
- Lack of new replays and cut scenes
- Hard to read batter card
- Throws in that he likes 2K Beats
It takes the author until the NINTH paragraph to even mention the game play. NINTH! And outside of a brief paragraph discussing pitching and the fact that it "takes too long to do" he summarizes the game play as...
A few sentences on the pitching interface and then the above quote is all he has to say about the entire gameplay package in this game. That's it?!There is a better variety of hits which is nice, along with the new fielding mechanic being sound.
I'm sorry, but this could possibly be the worst article I have ever seen posted on this site. I've said it a hundred times on this site, everyone complained last year that the gameplay was what need to be fixed from 2K7. So 2K goes out and does that and now every tears the other aspects of the games to shreds. Brutal."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
I agree that this is one of the worst articles I have seen written on here. It's not even a review so much as "I feel like I was robbed of my $60 because the game is boring..." diatribe. He completely lost me when he said the new pitching mechanic "takes too long...". On the one hand we are crucifying the game for not feeling like a baseball game, but then we want to rush through things like pitching? If anything, the pitching this year is as fast or faster than last year. I'm not going to say his complaints are valid, and it was his $60 so he can complain if he wants, but this whole thing seemed more like one of the many whiney threads that have been started rather than an article for a sports gaming site."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Why do we need to read reviews and boards to make our decision? Do you read movie reviews, CD reviews before you make a decision to buy something? If i tried that philosophy, I'd miss out on a lot of great movies and music just because of one person's opinion. And that's all reviews are, opinions, not fact. Same with this article, opinion, not fact.Comment

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
I don't see why his article should be posted for the site to see./ Why nnot post some of the things Ive said.I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins.

Re: Patrick Williams: Can I Have My Money Back?
Hmmm, I'm gonna have to say the only thing that was 'dull and boring' was this article. Goodness not only the content, but the way it was written. Blah
That being said, he makes ssoooommmee good points but nothing ground-breaking. I agree with the other guy, who the hell stole your money? Just rent the damn thing next time.Comment
