To those worried about current bugs...

I wouldn't worry, but the game has been out for 2.5 weeks and still some people cannot hit because of the stutter and the sim engine is broken.

These were issues that were noticed within hours of people buying the game. Reviewers didn't mention a single one of these issues.

The game is still fine if you don't have the stutter, but people should certainly be allowed to complain about the bugs.

Are they acceptable? Are these bugs consistent with what should be found in an all-time great game? Of course not.

Nobody is complaining about SCEA's ability to patch a game, but I think we are more than entitled to wonder why the product was released in such disarray.

I love game updates and fixes in this wonderful day and age of online gaming, but all too often it appears to be a fallback for developers who quickly push a product to market and use the early adopters as guinea pigs.

FWIW - this version of The Show is the "worst" I have played in some time (in terms of bugs and issues, even though it's still a sporting benchmark). It's a damn shame that we won't be able to start franchises by opening day, which is really not good enough.

Edit: typo

There's a bug that won't allow you to start a franchise until March 31st?? Now that is inexcusable!

Although this is a major annoyance I have 100% confidence in SCEA's ability to fix this game. Like others have said, SCEA has a very good track record with these things.
