Just like the NFL, MLB doesn't really care how the game looks or plays. They just care about the check from 2k clearing at the bank. Execs aren't gamers.

In one way i agree but, i think negative feedback, i mean real negative feedback like the one this game is getting will have some relation to MLB. I think MLB wants a good quality game and they are not getting it, wasnt the MLB mad about 2k6? I think they should be just as mad about this game.

personally, i dont understand all the b****ing and complaining. This game is great imo. It's probably the best baseball game ive played.

I am certainly not happy about it, but those are the economics of the matter. The Madden deal has show us that gamers will still buy the game even though they know it could be better. There are plenty who really enjoy EA's NFL offering which is great, but there are plenty of others who admit to buying it because they need their "NFL fix". The same applies to MLB and these companies know it.

If gamers could resist the games they think are subpar, it would effect the profits and the stock which inturn would motivate the execs. It would also make developers think a bit more about engaging in expensive exclusive deals.

Im sorry but cmon, to say you dont understand why people are mad about this game is rediculous. There are pages and pages of things people and i have saw that makes it hard to play the game.

The MLB2K6 thing was IGN hinting that that was the case (Jon Robinson I think) - far from actual fact. And if this game is so bad, there's apparently a great one in The Show that's available. If the MLB isn't making money on number of units sold, why would they care? They're getting their money up front. The NFL is the largest sports entity out there and they apparently don't have a problem with the dissatisfaction people have expressed on the forums
