Emphasis mine.
Yes, a patched game would get a higher score. However, at this point
no such game exists.
There is no patch, and no guarantee of when one will come, and no guarantee it will not introduce new problems (see the recent CH 2K6 and NBA 2K6 updates). I reviewed my experience of the game, and it couldn't complete 9 innings of baseball until I removed (and later reformatted) the hard drive.
If any of y'all feel that a game which can't do a full nine innings without a crash deserves a high score, feel free to do so on your own site. Here, I call it like I see it: this game is (at this point) a glorified tech demo for which people are being charged $60.
So it's OK to charge $60 for a game that doesn't work?
