Again, not the end of the world, but it's a bit surprising you would begrudge someone their opinion on that. There is plenty to like about what OS showed, but that doesn't mean we all have to like everything about the game. No offense, but the way your responses sway, I would think you react more on emotion than rationale. Not saying that's definitely the case, mind you, but it does come across that way at times.

The bottom line is dude always has something negative to say about anything posted about this game. It's tiring. There are things I don't like about the other game, but do I insert my opinion about it in every thread created over there NO.

Why because I'm not a big fan of The Show. It's obvious dude prefers the other game, so if that's your preference why come here & nit-pick every screen/thread posted about this game..

No, not ALL DOCTOR SHOTS. That is the same cliche people use when they try to support and make amends to the fact that a certain company does it.

But 2K takes it to the next level. They are night and day different. And get people deceptively excited, just to have them crash and burn when they see the "real shots"

Every post I made, is from my personal critique. I am entitled to my opinion as much as the one salivating over them. Give it a rest will yea. The world is not so black and white.

And who cares what Kool-Aide, I or the majority of baseball gamers drink? How does that make my opinion any less valid? Am I not supposed to critique the graphics? Take everything for what it is, and not in hopes have my comments read, for them to *gasp* improve on them?

Give it a rest, the same can be said for you... pot meet kettle.

Meh, not really impressed to be honest.

Wow. Graphics = yuk. But that's nothing new, I knew the graphics would be on par with 2K8 when they released those early obviously touched-up screenshots last month. You don't heavily doctor screenshots unless you have something to hide.

I can't wait for the gameplay vids. Hopefully the framerate will be solid and the game will play like actual baseball.

It could be because the developers are floating around there all of the time and they're defending them, I'm not sure.

Of course they exist. On both sides, that much is obvious. But you also never see me jumping on people on The Show section with their own critiques with the game. I dont even jump on the mindless trolls. People are entitled to their opinion.

And no, I do not think these are anything close to the meter for pitching. But again, that is my opinion. (For the record I uses classic pitching in The Show)

These are bubbly car looking oil gauges. The confidence one, etc .. I am not talking about the throwing meters.

Wanna here some funny *** ****?

The same was said about me in The Show forums last year, when I had criticism there as well. I was called a 2K homer, etc.

Also I have made a total of 5-6 posts in here in the past couple of weeks. So wow, glad I am "always posting in here negative things".

Maybe I find it tiring ones who are hardcore fans of a series, franchise, game company, or system, gives so much over-hyped praise, and attacks anyone with differing opinions on the matter.

Where is the law that states you can't post your opinions on a game? If he thinks the meters look horribly, he has the right to say that. What is the point of these forums if people can't post their opinions?

And as a mater of fact, I agree with him. The meters look like the turbo meter from one of the Burnout racing games. It doesn't fit in with a baseball game, if you ask me. If you like the way the meters look, fine.

The problem here isn't people posting opinions, it's people taking offense to people posting opinions. Why does it bother you that he, or anybody else, critiques the game? If you think the game is great and looks great, why on earth do you care what he, or anybody else, thinks?

I agree that the meters are similar to The Shows pitch meter in terms of arcade-ish-ness.

Also I definitely agree with what your saying about The Show forum. I was belittled over there because I said I wished Sony would improve the graphics on the psp version. I genuinely like the game and want to see it improved, but it seemed that any opinion that was critical wasn't welcome.
