My strategy behind taking the plunge

[lubbersline]

Hello All,

I am really looking forward to getting into playing MLB 10. I bought the game a day or two after it was released although I have only played two exhibition games. Here's my dilemma - I'm a dad with limited time to play although I've been a gamer since the late 70's. I have also been currently playing Uncharted 2 (awesome game) and a little Call of Duty (long time COD gamer starting on the PC).

Here's what I'm thinking. During the weekdays I may get a chance to play any game a couple hours a week and the weekends maybe 3 to 5hrs. I want to finish Uncharted 2 (I'm at the Monastery) before moving on to MLB 10 and this would give the developers a chance to release additional patches and fixes before I really take the plunge into MLB 10. They've already released update #2. From reading multiple boards there appears to be plenty to fix.

So I think by holding off for awhile longer this would give the MLB 10 developers plenty of time to work out at least some of the kinks before I take the plunge and maybe this will avoid frustrations on my part.

Thoughts?

Been playing this game for four years.... welcome, you are not going to be disappointed.

My best guess, based on past experience and developer comments, is that there will be one more patch, and it will hit in about a month. Again, just a guess. I probably won't wait for it to start a season, as I play all games for one season, and the patch probably won't much affect that.

I'm a nearly-50-year-old gamer, who also did Uncharted 2!

Hi Chuckm - I'm mid forties so it appears we've been through the same generations of gaming experiences. When I was 13, 14, 15 etc... I'd go to the nearest Putt Putt to play video games with $5 in quarters. $5 would last me 3 to 5hrs of fun.

Completely off topic, but I remember as a kid, my brother and I would take $5 dollars each in quarters and try to beat double dragon. We only did one time, but man I can still remember the thrill of that victory. It must have been 3 hours of hard work and sweat. I was literally exhausted afterward. Back when life was so simple
