Typically The Show Sub Forum has always been one of if the best ones at OS. And IMO it continues to be. However around this time and upon release it has increasingly become littered with more and more troll like posts.
I am always for good constructive discussion. It is what drives the developers of the game to make improvements and additions to the game.
What is starting to gnaw at some members who frequent The Show Forum here is the incessant and juvenile whining and complaining (pissing contests too to boot) that the game has not been changed much since 2006 which I call complete and utter BS on. Hell from 2009 till now it has changed so much for the better. It's almost night and day from an on the field game play perspective. And off the field this year will bring even more improvements and enhancements to franchise mode. I thought 14 brought some great enahncements. And let's not forget the amazing new features over the last 3 iterations:
Ball Physics - HUGE!!!!
Quick Counts
Y2Y saves
Better scouting interface
Better player training interface
Analog controls
Score ticker (this is huge so subtle yet so huge to my immersion with the game)
Animations vastly improved
CPU AI at the plate - chasing pitches, etc HUGE.
So many little things built upon a solid foundation. There is a reason this game has such a dedicated, die hard following. The developers understand they have a great engine and have just been adding, enhancing and improving.
If it is not broken....do not fix it.
It's the best sports game on the market with the most accessible team I have ever seen.
The noise will pass, the firestorm of release will come and go. And those of us who love this game will continue to hang out, share stories, share settings, make rosters and keep The Show's spirit as the best baseball game ever made, alive and well.
