I have to respectfully disagree with you. Some people are ecstatic with the new upgrades to gameplay, player models, controls, and RTTS. Others, like myself, are more interested in franchise only. Sure, the new controls and player models are incorporated in franchise, but for the most part, it wasn't really touched. This is one of those "to each their own" type of things . I mean, if I was only into RTTS (like some people are), this would be a major upgrade for me.

Well there is a recession still going on, so I can understand if some people are hesitant to fork over that much money when what they truly want is not going to be available until next year and/or they are perfectly happy with how 10 plays. Not everyone can just drop $60 on a whim. Also, a lot of us have invested a ton of time into our franchises and don't really want to start all over. So let's not start looking down upon people that love The Show 10 just because they aren't buying 11.

Personally, I will end up waiting until a month or so after release date. I just happen to have a lot going on around that time, and this also lets me get the low down from all the fellows on OS as well as time for the inevitable patches to release, and of course Knight's rosters to finish.

That's fine if they dont have the money but I've yet see that be the reason given.
Also i never look down on anyone. Dont want to support a company that actually improves their product and listens to us gamers then fine.

I also care the most about Franchise...but i choose to support developers that actually give a damn. The upgrades they are doing despite not major franchise stuff are still upgrades and not wasted time to give us things we never wanted.
To each their own.

I just haven't seen a reason to spend $60 to have to start my franchise over. I love that the developers seem to care so much about their game, but I only play franchise and it didn't get much work this year. Having a one-year old with another on the way, I don't have $60 to to spend on a product that will play substantially the same for me, even though I would love to have the graphical upgrades. With franchise rumored to be getting worked over for 2012, I feel like I'll be better off waiting until then to upgrade.

I think A LOT of people in this section of the forums are in denial

This. I'm 99% sure I would still buy the game if it was simply MLB 10 with a roster update. But, the developers made a strong effort to make the game better. I've bought this game on release since 06 and I will continue to support this game. I have not been disappointed AT ALL by the development team. Every video game, ESPECIALLY sports video games, has bugs when its release. What matters is if the development team makes an effort to fix those bugs. And SCEA has done that.

I'm certainly planning to rent the game and check it out. If enough of the other extras appeal to me (coop mode), I may pick it up.

This is pretty close to what I'm feeling as well. Unfortunately, $60 is a big chunk of change at this time of year.
