what level was MLB 2k11 tested?

Re: what level was MLB 2k11 tested?

I'm thinking they didnt test it at all.

It's a heck of an assumption to assume I have not been reading your posts since last year's game. I could dig up post after post in which you used your artificially long list of bugs to imply that 2K didn't test their game. but that is lame, and if people care, they can go through your posts.

But you are acting pretty high and mighty in a thread in which you have already taken a cheap shot at 2K by claiming it didn't seem like they tested their game. And you know that's a lie, so it is just a cheap shot.

Are there bugs? Yes. Are there bugs in every single game I have bought this year? Yes.

Look at how people respond to your list. It is a launching point for 2K bashing. That would be fine if your list was accurate and not embellished with stuff that are not bugs or glitches. It's clear that you just want a long list of grievances to put pressure on 2K.

It probably started off as well meaning. But you refuse to test and verify what you write. If you want to maintain a list and use it like you do, you have a responsibility to be an actual expert on the matter. Instead, you fill it up with BS from anyone that has a complaint.

You might try addressing the actual content of what I wrote instead of trying to be creative in your name-calling. It just makes you look like a juvenile.

What frustrates me about this thread was that the OP was nonsensical. At the very least it deserved to a response asking for clarification as to what he meant.

But kpkpkp jumped in and used it as a bash 2K moment, as he has done many times over the last year covering the last two games.

Why wouldnt I assume you never read my posts? You said my purpose was only to bash 2K? And you only just signed up here whereas I have been a member of these forums since 2007. I have offered much praise for 2K when they do things right over the years. You want to seem to discredit or deny that I have anything but bashing to do.

If my sole mission was to undermine or bash 2K, why would I post things like this?


"This is an excellent patch.

The only major bummer is the auto-management bug. (Where the CPU adjusts your lineup even if auto-manage is turned OFF.) I'm pretty disappointed that wasn't addressed. This glitch will make playing franchise mode frustrating at times.

I understand some are upset with the new On-Line batting. But others seem fine with it after some getting used to.

Other than auto-manage glitch... I'm VERY impressed with how much, and with great detail, this patch addresses many bugs. Reading the fixes listed is almost like reading our "official bug list" word for word at certain points.

Bravo 2K. "



That was a post from 2K forums I made offering praise right after the patch.


My point is this;

I criticize what I think is horrible QA at 2K for their MLB series. And offer them praise when merrited. And I will continue to do so.

Im sorry it rubs you the wrong way, or that you think Im here to sabotage them.

When people respond to my threads, the vast majority of them do it in the spirit the thread was meant to be; they report possible glitches. Some of those glitches do go to be isolated incidents and not truly glitches. I often remove such reports, or remove things I cant re-create. And yes sometimes people respond to my threads to bash 2K because they're daunted by a long bug list. But why should that stop me? Or the spirit of the thread? And why shouldnt I reports everything posted to 2K's MODS and Dev Team?

That's the whole point...

Im going to keep doing what I do. And Im going to keep compiling the bug list. A great many appreciate it.


Lastly; I did read every word you wrote, you Cotten-headed ninnymuggins. I calls em like I see's em.

While I could drag out a bunch of cheap shot posts you've made, there really is no need. Your first post here was exactly that. You followed that with a post where you mocked 2K for problems that don't exist in the current game.

The problem is not that you compile a list, it's that you do such a terrible job of it that you end up contributing to a ton of needless negativity in the forums, I tend to think this is by design because your posts in this thread are typical of your tendency to bash instead of offering helpful information.
