You'd figure that some people paying multiple times the cost of the physical game year after year (to either get it a few days early or to dip into a suite of perks) would change their consumer behavior if they weren't totally satisfied with their purchase, no? At least wait until the game comes out to ascertain if it's 'finished enough' for their liking--that would be rational consumer behavior while avoiding the unneeded outrage. If consumers are willing to give a business $$$ before the game even comes out, that business will gladly keep taking it. SDS is a good group of guys, but they have corporate overlords interested in the bottom line just like the rest of us. There must be something tangible that keeps these people coming back for re-buys year after year. And I think a "broken," "half-finished," or "lazy" game is therefore not an accurate depiction of the situation. Unless people have really short memories about last year and the year before etc.

Digital deluxe for incentives and stubs towards DD as discussed at length on several streams. Trust me no qualms with not purchasing and/or speaking with my wallet as I have not purchased an EA product since the stunt with NCAA basketball 2010

I would love for them to patch in updated head scans for players who have significant head and or facial hair changes. I know it can be done since they did it last year.

Small thing for some people but it kills the immersion for me. Maikel Franco hasn't had dreads for 3 years in a row now.

We're just both passionate individuals, and want to have the best game experience possible from a game we love. Funny enough I agree with him. I would love to have inseason extensions. I think it's silly they aren't there. In terms of internet arguments, it was actually pretty tame, lol. I wish Bill nothing but the best in everything he does.

in terms of internet discussions, it was enlightning and good stuff provided by both points of view.

I read a good article about this exact thing and it was about Mass Effect Andromeda. Basically saying that in today's gaming industry we as consumers may want to think about stopping to pay for a game upfront and see if the game is up to snuff once it's released. Like you said, if we just keep paying upfront then what incentive do developers have to change the way they make these games.

And this is speaking about Mass Effect more than The Show. Mass Effect has/had serious issues for a game that took five years to develop.

I think we need to be more conscious about what we are paying for as consumers in the gaming industry.

That's what I did this year. I waited to decide whether I would buy MLB 17. I decided to not buy it.. yet anyway.

Don't misunderstand me. I like MLB The Show. I think the developers are skilled and driven, but I also think the game has gotten too big ( complex? ) for their company size at this point too.

There's some glaring issues this year I didn't think I'd ever see in an MLB The Show game.

Sorry guys, I get too worked up over this stuff. While I was trying to be objective and constructive, I was getting on Mav3rek7's case over nothing. He's right, we're both passionate about the game. I don't know anybody here yet, so maybe I'll get used to who's who. Didn't mean to trash anyone.

Like I've said, this is the best baseball game I've ever played. I'm glad I bought it because it's a huge upgrade over '16. Looking forward to the next patch.

Thank you for posting this. Being new here and taking responsibility for some less than constructive posts is appreciated.

I have had my fill of paying for updated shiny sht, as much as I do like this game overall. The change, or recognition that a change was needed, in physics is a good thing but I can't imagine buying again and again for accurate stitch counts on uniform numbers aka the exact stockings a club wears while fundamental aspects of the game of baseball are not tended to. Not angry about it, as I know market considerations factor in to decisions, but I will agree with you, completely. Bravo, this post here, me yours, is the Hall Of Fame post someone claimed upthread.
