This isn't a statement about any game features one way or another. /end disclaimer/

I don't think that was his point... to use your metaphor:

A kid doesn't ask a fireman, "Hey, I know my house is completely engulfed in flames now and it would be certain suicide to go in and I'm not sure I even have a dog, but could you go in there and check."

Yeah, I can already see people blaming this on scea, but MLB really dropped the ball on this one. I can't believe that they have known about this since at least November and hasn't made a decision.

That's not my point at all. My point is that people come on these boards and assume that since there are video game patches that the team can patch anything in the game. When people start hearing those assumptions, they start believing they are fact.

It's not like a kid asking a fireman to save his dog. It's more like a kid asking a fireman to save his dog after the house is burnt to a crisp. It's hard to remake things like that.

Why is it such a big deal to some people if the Expanded Playoffs will not be in MLB 12 The Show?

I mean we are talking about only 1 extra game in each league.

I am sure it will be in MLB 13 The Show so you only have 1 more year to get this feature

I agree but to everyone their own.

So Is there or is there not a dog in the burning house?

1. We don't listen to civilians. ("MY BABIES...MY BABIES....are in there!" only to come out with a cat....and she grabs them and says..."my baby, are you alright?") We go in no matter what and sort it out ourselves.
2. That's how I got my first dog(RIP) Smokey...my first month in the FDNY...saved her at a house fire...she was 4 weeks old and in an orange crate. I thought it was a baby at first!
3. How the HECK did we get comparing this feature to rescuing anything!
4. I'll take care of the dog, they will take care of programming, when they know what the heck is going on. What's the address?!

Lastly.....that's not what the guy meant when he said "program it yourself". Of course SCEA will implement it when it's appropriate for them to get it into the game properly with time to test it and make sure it's working correctly. They weren't rushing it in with no confirmation and then no time.
C'mon.

As if Selig hadn't done enough to ruin the game.

This idea stinks and will totally kill the regular season. The reason there are so many "non contending" clubs is the expansion used to pay the fine for owner collusion. Selig's response is to move the Brewers (his club) to the NL, eventually uproot the Astros, and dilute the season so teams like the Brewers have a chance to prove themselves over a few weeks rather than over a proper season.

Baseball is dying under this man.
