I've been patient, and we have nothing but the title of this game!

Well, graphics shouldn't be crappy at this point... they are already in mid-November.

Look at All Star Baseball's most current pitcures near the beginning of November... those aren't crappy.

To make it short, IF they still are crappy right now, then they should release it in late March to early April. I don't care when it's released, because if they are behind, they need to make up for it.

That's what ESPN Football did and look at how great that game is. I'm playing it right now.

I'm not trying to be a Rich Head, but chill out, Muffin.

Who are you to be giving ultimatums to game makers, man? Just because you have a raging hard on for ESPN Baseball and can't wait like almost everyone else can, Blue Shift should take the time to whip up some clean looking screen shots just to appease you? It doesn't work that way.

Look, I have respected your opinion on various baseball stuff a few times before, but you are acting pretty immature and childish about this. Just be patient. The screens and PR stuff will come when it's ready.

I would be more inclined to see your point if it were the end of January right now, but it is so far away from release time. Just because Acclaim decided to get the ball rolling early this year, does that mean every other baseball game has to follow suit?

You really must not like football too much, because honestly, baseball is about the furthest thing from my mind right now. I can wait.

I understand you are really excited about this game, and that's cool. You need to dial it down a few notches, though, for the following reasons :

1) If you keep making demands, you might very likely drive the developers who post here and share stuff with us away. I for one like the fact that there are people like FatPitcher and PJ Snavely who take time out to post and do chats and stuff here.

2) I have no desire to hear about how you hung yourself or launched yourself off a balcony because you went into a frenzy on launch day waiting for the FedEx or UPS guy to come and couldn't take it anymore. If you are already this amped up over baseball games in November, it isn't totally out of the realm of possibility for you to be a certifiable nut bar come release date time.

Exactly. You aren't going to decide which game to get now, so who really cares whether there is info yet. It's still about 5 months till release. The only reason we had any info this far in advance for the other sports games is because of E3. Barely anyone is even thinking about baseball games right now.

Re: I\'ve been patient, and we have nothing but the title of this game!

What?

No, I just mean that they are very inconsistent. Trust me, I'm one of the most mature people on these boards, and this is probably the most immature side you'll see of me. And I am only 15 years old mind you.

And yes, I AM a football fan. I'm not waiting to see what the game looks like in particular, I just want to make sure they are going in the right direction. For example, if I saw a screenshot where Ichiro was batting right-handed, I would address this. It's things like that that I HAVE seen be screwed up in the past, and trust me, chances are something like that can happen again.

I want to see what they have accomplished. I want to see if there's player scaling, working scoreboards, etc. IF they release screenshots, say in January without those things, then it's too late to change that. If they release them now, they have a fighting chance to change something like that.

I also hope that this year they have people to beta-test this game and address problems as I am hoping to do so now... only I can't do it because I'm too young, and people that get betas are usually just playing the fun out of the game... you're supposed to do that in the finished version. If a company gives you a beta, they want you to report to them what is wrong or blantly just not there.

But whatever though... call me what you want, because I don't really care, because I know what I am anyways. So, whatever.

Re: I\'ve been patient, and we have nothing but the title of this game!

I call it how I see it.

You were trying to throw your weight around and make demands. You aren't in any position to do so, especially in November. The World Series ended less than a month ago, so that would technically make the last WSB game about a month "out of season" or whatever you want to call it. That would be like me bitching to EA or Sega to show me screens of next year's football games right now or else I won't buy them when they come out.

Maybe nobody else felt like saying anything, just didn't notice, or didn't have the sack to call you out on it. I don't have that problem. If someone posts something out of line or off the wall, I will call them on it.

Oh, the other instance I was referring to about you getting all pissy was the other day, when you went off on someone for no reason, and then you apologized and said you were grouchy.

I like some of the stuff you post at times, but again, lately you have seemed like a little tampon stuffing whiner about everything.

Don't take so much offense to what I say, either. It's nothing personal at all. It just has to do with the way you post and how you project yourself to every other reader here.

Well then, this might be one of the only two threads that I do what you are saying what I am doing, because if you look at the ESPN Football thread and the ESPN Basketball thread, I'm just honky-dory over there.

And uh... yeah... it's not the same as asking for ESPN Football 2K5 or Madden 2005 pics right now, because if you haven't noticed, this game is only about 5 months away from release, and the football games are about 9 or 10 months away.

I'm saying what I'm saying because... I care about them selling well to make future games. People were starting to look into the baseball titles before the football games were out. THAT'S actually when you have the best chance to tell them to say something. They've probably been done with mo-cap since June. They start working on one game once they finish their previous one... they don't wait until say August. They are working 365 days a year... with the exception of some holidays.

To make it short, if they TOTALLY screwed up on something that can't be fixed later because it's too late, they should start letting us know at least something for right now.
