Jordan,
Agreed. If you got the game just the way it came out of the box and couldn't make adjustments it certainly wouldn't allow for personal comfort zones with the games. I have spent a week tweaking WSB. Glad I was able to do it.

Perfect example of patience paying off! I think a lot of people write a game off after a day simply b/c they don't take the time to get deep up into the game and tweak it to their preference. I think if you drop $50 on a new game, especially one you have been anticipating, you should at least give it a week to decide whether you keep it or not. There are things in games now that you might not see until you have played it for weeks, especially in sports games. No game is going to satisfy EVERYONE'S personal tastes straight out of the box. Maybe Baseball Stars, Bases Loaded, and RBI, or old school WSB from the 90's.
Which brings me to something in another post about us 30+ gamers. We have been playing video games since Pong, Atari, Intellivision and such, so we know the real definition of a terrible looking, terrible playing game on a terrible system is. Younger kids have been playing games since Genesis and N64, and PS1, so they expect the games now to be perfect while a lot of us older folk are content with little problems in games, especially graphical indifferences b/c we have watched video games evolve from games like Combat on Atari to Halo on Xbox. I remember the first baseball game on the NES was so bad, all of the outfielders moved together, and that was only 17 years ago. Now you can pick a players earrings and tattoos and bling-bling platinum medallion, and how big the rims are on his whips! I don't have a problem with that at all, but when people start bitching about John Doe's real stance not being in a game after his sorry *** hit .220 last year is ridiculous. Give me Bases Loaded with Baseball Stars created team and HR robbing abilities, a tiny graphical upgrade to next gen systems and my man Paste from Boston, and I am as happy as the kid I was when I was 15 playing bases loaded.
