So can we clear this up right now. This game was not ready for launch.

Im not starting a flame thread. I have no regrets buying this game, well, maybe a little regret. But I hope for improvement. I just have to vent my frustrations on the issues this game has. I expect issues for video games, but not the continual ones that have plauged this franchise for so long. Blue screen of death, crashing, server overload, this happens every year. Why do developers rush games out the door? Sure, you can say the game plays so great it doesn't matter, but it does matter when the rest of the game is full of gamebreaking bugs. Yes, we'll see patches, but for once, can they release a game when the game is actually finished next time?

Is this the 'told you so' thread for your advocating the gutting of game modes?

[BMDinTDOT]

Don't be afraid of getting "flamed" for being upset about a product
you bought for $70-80 that has multiple issues that are well
documented on here.

There are always gonna be people that get mad or annoyed
about someone liking or not liking something they don't. They
might insult you and be on their high horse but ignore them
and let your voice be heard.

2K has had some major issues for years and we've sat quietly
and patiently and giving them a free pass on past games and
what has that accomplished? nothing

Its come to the point that we have to be vocal about our frustration
and action needs to be taken because its become unacceptable.

For the people that are blind to what's going on or are happy paying
that money for a flawed product ignore them as they don't understand
whats best for them and the game.

I don't know about gutting modes but there needs to be a frank discussion about being overly ambitious.

Innovation is great, it has to happen and its a huge part of marketing but they need to lock down some of these modes before spending valuable time and money on crap like 2KTV or whatever it is.

Even the casual gamer would happily trade flashy innovation for functionality.

If they're not bugged they're unplayable like the Park. There's no value in selling innovation and leaving your customers high and dry.

Overtly ambitious is an excellent term and I agree

[HowDareI]

Here's an idea, every patch that comes within the first month of a game being released we should be credited $10 into our account online as a way of saying "the game was not ready to be released".

I think it's lazy to release buggy/not tested games nowadays knowing you can just patch them; yes, it's a good thing they can fix them, but on PS2 and original Xbox there was no patching. Just release the game tested and ready to go.

QUALITY CONTROL needs an Upgrade. These are glitches that shouldnt happen IF proper Testing was done.
