MLB 11 The Show Video: Gameplay Footage From Community Event

[Pared]

The more I think about it, the more what shakedown said fit the bill.

They really DO take a lot of our ****... and keep coming back for more.

I will say that sort of abuse is certainly an admirable trait of theirs. I just personally wish it wasn't that way.

If you really think about it, a team that interacts with us more has to deal with more junk. It shouldn't be that way. We should be a welcoming community and not come off as a bunch of "friggin' ingrates."

Just rambling at this point.

I think it is a two way street they take a lot of ****, but they do get a lot of advice too. And pretty sure the stadiums are pretty accurate because of the stadium thread. Or batting stances for the matter. . It is a give and take relationship.

That's a good point that it is two way. It's just presented in a very bad manner at times on our part...

But that's what sport video game aficionados do I guess.

Yep. and to think that it all started with one or two developers from six or so years ago.

They sure have a lot of patience given with what happens post-release and with some of the posts that come by here. Even I get disappointed when I see a "why wasn't this in the game?" or "why was it included just now?" posts.

As for the bolded part, I always get a kick when a cover-athlete does their own stance and later on it's called way off. In three years, I bet someone will say Joe Mauer's stance is off.

I look at it like this. The people at the Show are passionate about the game they work on. And in the same way so are the people that want every thing perfect in that game. Even that dodger, brave,and Cub fans we had complaining about something. They are passionate just like the Show guys are. At least that is how I see it.


One a side not Corey Perry on the Ducks. Said the show was his favorite video game. That is cool. Even though I hate the guy.

Agreed. We may whine and moan at times and they put up with it, but it helps us both. They make a better product, and we get to play that product

The funny thing is they are more crazier than we are about their game. They want it perfect too, but they know how hard that is. I remember when Kolbe told me no one was happy about the player models last year. Do you remember that Kolbe. . So I am sure they want everything perfect too. oh and those player models this year rock. How do they feel about them this year Kolbe?

You nailed it right there. When I was complaining about Wrigley, it wasn't that I was bashing on the game. The show is so good we just want to make it even better. Do you think any other sports game gets specifically picked at as much as The Show? No, because no other sports game has been able to portray a sport so accurately. The people here are so passionate for this game, that it gets an enormous amount of attention. Don't get me wrong, we appreciate all the work SCEA put into the game. But, because it is so good, some (like me) expect it to be close to perfect. Do you think the other baseball game is getting questions about whether the dalmation can tomahawk chop? Heck no, because the other game isn't close to the authenticity the show has.
