MLB The Show 18 GameStop Monday - RTTS

[Rocket32]

Well that’s a huge disappointment. If nothing went wrong that would be strange. RTTS video should have been last weeks video if it was ready instead of an unboxing video which I’m pretty sure no one wanted.

It gets kind of pointless to release the GameStop Monday video at all after the stream for the mode already happened days ago. They work better as pre stream teasers in my opinion like they normally are. After the streams people know all the info that would be in the videos and the video just repeats some of what we already know and already has been announced. Pretty pointless. No reason to watch them after the streams and blog when their is a blog as well.

It wouldn't have changed anything. You're absolutely right. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. SDS is out to get everyone apparently. This mob mentality the majority of people have in here is astounding.

Franchise stream is Thursday. Why would they even bother having one if nothing was done to it? But because nothing has been mentioned yet, nothing was done at all, right? I really hope there will be a lot of feet in mouths come Thursday night. This forum has been a complete cesspool.

Don't think those are unreasonable reactions at all.

It was one page for me. I do 40 posts per page.

Again, I didn't claim that everyone was overreacting and conspiracy theorizing.

And I hope they prove me wrong. I really do.

Again, very few posters are assuming nothing's been done with Franchise. Confusion about the odd scheduling for these Gamestop Mondays and speculation about Franchise's changes this year are two separate matters.

I'm someone who loves The Show and appreciates that the devs take any time to communicate directly with us (I look forward to the streams far more than any healthy person should lol). But I agree with Bullit that their communication has not been the best regarding Gamestop Monday these past two weeks. The pre-release hype period is all about managing expectations and I doubt they want their carefully scheduled plan leading to disappointment (even if it might end up being short-lived) rather than anticipation.

If the scheduled PS blog for tomorrow is postponed I may start stressing a bit but other than that, I'm sure they kept the best for the end. I'm confident.

Here's a realistic scenario and it actually may have happened in the past couple years. If your company knew that making the game easier would make them more money, they'd make it easier (DD) and not care one bit about the people who want it to be a realistic simulation (Franchise).

Not everyone who has a negative perception of SCEA is a conspiracy theorist. I like the company you work for. I think you guys made one hell of a baseball game, but don't act like they develop it purely for the love baseball. They develop it, primarily, for the love of money and will direct it where the money is.

You think they are out to make lollipops instead? Bottom line for any company, that's including gaming companies.......every single one, is to make money.
