A lot of people on htese boards seem to weigh more of their purchasing choise on the features a game offers over its gameplay. I say what good are all the features if the game plays like poop.
In my opionion, no baseball game has ever done the gameplay completely right,(though I am very impressed with this years HH) I always find some fault after extended play and I never finish a season. So who really cares if you can play 5, 10, or 20 seasons if the game sucks? Do most of you guys just sim through seasons. I feel I have to play every game, because I want to know I had everthing to do with my season.
I cant believe when I see guys base their purchase on wheather a game has A,AA, and AAA minor leagues, or if so and such has been added to the roster.
Also online play. Has anyone ever played WSB 2k2 online? It was terrible and unplayable. Even with broadband I cant see it playing that well just based on upon the split second reaction time it takes to succed in a baseball game.
To sum up, these features are great ideas and all, but what does it matter if the game is a stinker? If the developers would put the extra time to polish the gameplay before adding all these extensive features, there could be a spectacular game. Im as big a baseball enthusist as anyone here, but I just dont understand why so many fellow board members put a make or break decsion on such trivial matters.
I want to see a Madden level of polish in a baseball game. Then I will be truly satified and let the features rain down on me!
