    Ok thanks. Hopefully he will be fair about it and give impressions post patch.

      Would it even matter? He hates every sports videogame he reviews.

                  Not at the time of that writing, no. He did allude to it after the fact saying it was good news, but it won't necessarily fix the other issues seen with franchise.

                  Hopefully he's wrong on that, as the 2K site mentions that there are other things to be fixed in the release day patch besides the budget thing.

                  Plus like I said, while not ideal, at least the biggest issue appears to be resolved (I mean, all sports games have roster management issues).

                  I must say, while I'm still on the fence about the game itself, I am impressed with the more professional way 2K/VC is conducting themselves this time around. They seem to have a much more open line of communication and swift responses to issues thus far.

                  That coupled with the obvious superficial improvements (obviously I can't definitively comment on actual gameplay one way or the other yet) make me hopeful for the general direction they're taking this franchise.

                    They completely changed their uniforms from last year as in their home, alt and away. I was wondering if they were correct or if 2K fudged them like they have other teams unis in the past. Also do they have the same throwbacks ? Does anyone have pictures ??

                            I never thought it would take so long to get an answer on a take-out slide or anything regarding collision detection.

                            I mean you play a game...there's been games played already, and you see if a runner collides w/ a player covering a bag, or if a player slides through another player on a diveback from a pickoff etc.

                            I mean geesh...all the reporting about gameplay someone who has it has got to have seen collision detection utilized or non-existent.

                              Yea man, I totally agree with you on the "lack of info" regarding this. I mean we're the only ones asking and we've asked about 20 times lol.

                              However I have a little bit of good news (for us at least)...

                              I was playing as the Rays and allowed Rollins to reach first. Werth hit a grounder to Bartlett, who underhand tossed to Iwamura, who then tagged 2nd and got TAKEN OUT BY ROLLINS AS HE THREW TO 1ST! OMG!!!

                              My friend also witnessed it happen to him as well, but we havent been able to use to our advantage... yet.

                              We'll see what happens, but there's light at the end of the tunnel

                                I saw something that could be a take out slide. Rollins slid in hard and threw his arms up and it threw the 2b off and the throw was late.
