Booted out of the game for the first time ever since getting it on release day. Needless to say I deleted the patch immediately. That's one funky patch.

Gameplay still great however. I think we need a "little things" thread for the quirks and oddities that keep this from being a nearly perfect sim, so the developors can concentrate on fixing and only fixing this dev cycle.

Feel better Russell, thanks for all you do for the community. At least it wasn't the swine flu!

Online impressions post patch:

- No more postgame highlights. Very disappointing that a patch actually takes previous features away.

- Check swinging still next to impossible.

- Still can't hit and run. Very disappointing.

I can only hope that this will not be the last patch for this game.

Sad....purely and utterly sad. I'll never quite understand the sense of entitlement people feel they earn by simply buying a video game.

Entitlement is a two way street and people on both sides of this argument have gone overboard and are exagerating things.

Arguing over a video game is not sad. I see people constantly writing this on OS when they are disappointed with something. It's ridiculous imo. Kids dying of cancer is utterly sad. People dying in a war is utterly sad. People saying bad things about a game you like is not utterly sad.

I do find it funny that guys like to call out OS as going downhill and contribute to the very problem itself by throwing gas on the fire. You get long time posters, who do have a sense of entitlement, complaining about the state of OS and yet they talk down to new posters constantly and aren't respectful of other people's opinions either.

This is a message board! If people want to vent, so be it. If you don't like how they vent I guess you are entitled to complain about that. But if you aren't a mod, take the holier than thou attitude someplace else. That's what has annoyed me about the Show forums for awhile and is really the burr up some peoples' butts. I understand the need to self police threads but it goes overboard here. If you are really upset about terrible posts then flag them and have a mod handle it.

Lastly and most importantly, I'm glad Russell is OK.

im ok asthma decided it wanted to show up after 13 years of hidding ill get an update soometime on wednesday

Glad to hear you're OK Russell.

I think we all need to take a timeout from this thread unless we have SPECIFIC items to discuss on the patch, its affects, or its issues. Going back and forth on cars to software, and how we feel as consumers doesnt really fit in the PATCH DISCUSSION thread.

If these new members post with some respect to this forum and it's rules then they will get some. Notice all the locked threads in this forum? I have reported numerous threads everyday. It's ridicules. Yes it is a message board. One that I spend a lot of time at and respect. I understand the TOS and abide by it. It's not a sense of entitlement it's simply following the rules and being accountable for what I add to this forum.

There have always been dumb posts and posters. People need to learn to just ignore them more and leave it alone. Not every dumb post needs to be responded to. I find people throw gas on the fire and cause more problems than the original post created. I also find it funny that BK can criticize people for this and yet is the most argumentative poster on OS.

Just like this post? You make a decent point then you step on it with an attack on another member. Where do you think this is going to go now?

First and foremost, I don't have a holier than thou attitude. Where did I say that people shouldn't vent their frustrations? Its the demands, the "I spent $60....) arguments that caused me to write what I did. There's nothing wrong with venting frustrations, nothing wrong with asking questions, but lets be honest, some of the comments in this thread alone, along with the rest of the forum have been anything but cordial and respectful in nature.

And next time, please don't take my comments on a message board to an extreme they don't need to go. Taking what I said and putting it into the context you did, isn't necessary. You could've easily brought about your argument without referencing the things you did to try and drive home a point.

so we should ignore dumb posts but then go behind the back and call said poster out? Wow

Re: MLB 09: The Show Patch Released 4/27/09 - Impressions and Discussion Here

Here's an idea, discuss the patch. Why you are all bickering back and forth, I have no idea.

Ends now.

Furthermore, there's an ignore feature for a reason. If you don't want to read certain posters opinions, ignore them, problem solved.
