Some people might being going a bit overboard with the wording of what they are saying but its comments like this that really irritate me. First off, OS is nowhere near going down the path of Gamefaqs as I go there every now and again and its night and day different so thats not even close to being the case. Secondly, if someone wants to use the patch and it causes their existing franchise to crash then why dont they have the right to be upset? Im irritated but I came to the conclusion that either Im going to have to get used to avoiding the patch at all costs or starting over. Im avoiding the patch with hopes that they will fix this eventually and all will be well again but at the same time I dont see anyone as a being a baby here either.

Just to throw something out there. I didnt find any of the problems prior to the patch as "game killing" anyways so I would have no reason to wait on the purchase as its not like anyone in their right mind could tell me ahead of time that a patch to fix the things that didnt even bother me in the first place would in turn screw up my franchise. Now Im crossing my fingers that they are going to figure out what the problem is and get it corrected but I also wanted to point out that waiting to buy a game until all the dust settles so to speak, doesnt always work out anyways.

Glad to hear your doing alright, Russell. Get some rest, brother...

started and simmed a franchise just to see what the lineups would look like. some arent too bad but the ROCKIES and the CUBS were the worst.

for the Cubs, Lee was batting 6th, Soriano was batting 4th.

for the Astros, Tejada was batting second.

TERRIBLE!

Some utterly embarrassing posts on here from the supposed mature OS community.

Get well soon Ramone

Booted out of the game for the first time ever since getting it on release day. Needless to say I deleted the patch immediately. That's one funky patch.

Gameplay still great however. I think we need a "little things" thread for the quirks and oddities that keep this from being a nearly perfect sim, so the developors can concentrate on fixing and only fixing this dev cycle.

Feel better Russell, thanks for all you do for the community. At least it wasn't the swine flu!

Online impressions post patch:

- No more postgame highlights. Very disappointing that a patch actually takes previous features away.

- Check swinging still next to impossible.

- Still can't hit and run. Very disappointing.

I can only hope that this will not be the last patch for this game.
