I will still get the game at some point, but this went from a day 1 buy to something I'll pick up when it goes on sale.

I'm gunna use PVarck31's words from a different thread to answer to this because he hit the nail on the head.

If you go out and ask 10 people what is the biggest problem in baseball I bet 8 of those 10 will say the games are too long. Or that baseball is boring. I guarantee SDS is only doing what their marketing and telemetry data is telling them to do. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

most people don't want to play or have time to play a 9 inning game. I know some guys on these forums are lucky to get an hour per week to game. So to play a 9 inning game for them is practically their entire play time for a week. With this critical moments feature you can probably get games done in 20 minutes tops. So that now allows these the opportunity to play a series per week.
