MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Buzz, wrong answer. If it is released a month later then the 2K series has a month long jump on them.

what pct of sales of MLB10 is based on new MLB The Show customers vs loyal MLB The Show series customers?

30-70? 30% of sales of MLB10 are new to the series, first time buyers? So you risk alienating the 70% to gain with the 30%?

doesn't seem like a good business strategy. MAG wasn't rushed to the streets to beat MW2, neither was BC2...both are strong games and stealing players from MW2.

Comparing MAG and other games are completely different than sports games guy, and I seriously doubt 70% of people who buy the show would wait a month to play a new baseball game just because its the show. The sports games are almost identical, the show is widely considered better, but giving one a month jump start to the competition would be a death blow.

Do you really think they are always released on the EXACT same day as each other is a coincidence?

I don't know......I'm amazed at how many people shelled out $300+ just to play the Show. I don't know that waiting a month would matter all that much. Worse case scenerio..people would buy 2k to get their baseball fix, and then pick up the Show when it became available.

SCEA doesn't have a set time that I know of, but its typically available around Noon EST.

again, they (and all competing sports franchises) aren't released on the exact same day for no reason.

I didn't say there wasn't a reason in the minds of the developers to release the game on the same day.

Here is my cents

Although I am looking forward to the patch, I can deal with watching over and approving ever teams trades, I would rather not have to do this but it is what it is.

As for the unfair or unrealistic trades. Hopefully the fixed potential roster update released tomorrow helps some of this. But I also find it kind of interesting to have these unrealistic trades as it could change the power teams like the yanks and red sox into weaker teams and change weak teams into stronger teams. It is kind of interesting to have different teams all of the sudden become the cream of the crop. It gets old having the yanks etc always be great teams

MLB tells them to release it at the time they do. There is nothing they can do about it... except maybe keep some people around to come on here and get fixes out as fast as humanly possible.

I found weak teams stay that way they never promote young prospects.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Franchise Issues Update

Here is my take on bugs/glitches from an IT employee's standpoint.

I've been involved with many very large program deployments where I work. When it comes down to the end of the development cycle, programs get absolutely everything tested and looked over multiple times. When it is your job to put out a program for others to use, it is your job to ensure that the program works. You don't release something with the knowledge that many things are wrong and you can just fix it later.

The same thing should be expected of game developers. When you are down to the end and you're getting ready to go gold, you better have your butts in there testing the crap out of the game. You can't release a game with such glaring problems. That is your responsibility and what you are paid to do.

When was this last updated by Kolbe? Have these issues been addressed in a patch yet?

Buzz, wrong answer.

Can you possibly not be a jerkbag in your responses? We get that you're upset with the game. Stop taking it out on other people with immature remarks. PLEASE.
