Re: If you wanted to couldn\'t you just make the game play like WSB2K3?

Tony LaRussa Baseball was a great game when it was released. If it was released in it's original form today, would it still get high scores?
I think reviewers expect to see growth and change in franchises, and seem to be docking ESPN on that.

Which would explain differences in scores between ESPN and MVP so far except the fact that MVP doesn't even HAVE a woreking franchise. All the bells and whistles in the world ain't gonna help ya if you end up with 40-year-old teams with 15 pitchers apiece on 'em.
Which only reinforces my notion that game reviewers are generally lazy imbeciles who couldn't get a job writing for anyone else. They make these reviews with as little reserach as possible and devalue any assertion that their claims are inaccurate until they're actually caught pissing on our heads (like that guy at Gamespot that got nailed for not playing some MMO game long enough - the developers had logs of the time he actually spent playing the game online - forget which game).
After which they'll still tell you with a straight face and a little attitude that they really did play the game long enough to make an educational and valuable review. Like i said before, fans always provide the accurate reviews. Anything written by some... person who's being paid to write or who writes in some official capacity is garbage. Usually not worth the time to read it except to understand what the features are... and most of the time they don't even get THAT right.
Folks, we need to listen ONLY to the people that actually PLAY games, not to people who only play games so that they can review them, and spend the rest of their time playing freakin' N-Gage while their kid's at soccer practice or whatever, and couldn't tell you what bump mapping was if it came up and bit 'em in the ***.
*gets off soapbox for good as all this ranting doesn't make a difference*
