I'm totally with you on that sentiment, brotha!

You can without a doubt claim that MLB 09 features the best GAMEPLAY ever in a baseball game. But having lineups where Todd Helton leads off and David Ortiz plays 1st base over Kevin Youkilis really dampers the "sim" aspect of the game. Also, if we're at a point where we're pointing to fixes created by community members as the only viable way to enjoy this game, I'd suggest that SCEA pay Knight and Doc commission for figuring out how to make something work that even their programmers couldn't crack.

I disagree. It's the best sim even if Helton leads off and Ianetta bats 4th.

For example, the other baseball game maker doesn't have these lineup issues, but it doesn't matter, it's not gonna give you anywhere close to a good simulation. It won't give you a good sim because the gameplay is very very bad. The Show on the other hand, even with some goofy lineups still gives you a great sim(realistic games). So yes, The Show, even with the problems, is the most realistic sim out....Period!!

Guys, quick question. Plan on starting my franchise Monday. Read where Russell said it is ok to go ahead and start and the replays will be grandfathered in which is great. Also saw where the extra game (I believe LA/SD) the first week of the season is what seems to be causing the problem. So we don't have to wait for the semi-patch to fix the schedule before starting our franchise?? Won't the schedule be messed up until the patch?? Sorry just kinda confused is all

I couldn't agree more. Russell and the crew could figure these things out, fix them and stamp 2010 on the cover and then go home until it's time to make The Show 2011 I love this game that much!!

I just had to put my 2 cents in here ...

I been in the IT industry for a long time ... I appreciate this game as it has given me a lot of hours of enjoyment . I appreciate that Russell comes here to post and give feedback as he puts it "he is here to interact with the community "...

On the other hand I believe SCEA knew this was going to happen .There is no other reason why so many are having these problems .

The question is why would they not state that this would break your franchise or RTTS ? (on a webiste or when you downloaded the patch ) ...

Could it have been a lack of QA ? Do you really think that ?

I just think this is a lack of communication .... Microsoft does this sometimes with there patches ... they break things ..

I guess we will never know ..

Anyway have fun out there .

Chris
