It's almost as if you think you still have a shot making the cover for '10 and you're doing all you can to seperate yourself from the pack as The Fanboy. Quick question. Do you think scea cares about either side of of this argument? Do you expect a refund/apology or a reward/hero cookie for your opinions?

Great post, brotha. Very very true.

I have never seen a game that plays so great, but has the weirdest bugs/glitches.

Yesterday, Lou Piniella came out of the dugout with a white jacket on. It kept changing from white to Cubbie blue and back again, lol.
This is no big deal, but he stats glitch, lineup/rotation glitch, and those type of things that are "behind the scenes" as you put it aren't fun.
I understand they are doing their best with what they have. They all (not just SCEA) need to start hiring more people and devoting more effort into quality assurance.

Not true imo. The fielding errors are done very poorly on All-Star imo. In 44 season games I have yet to have an officially scored fielding error (at least 12 throwing errors but no fielding errors). I would consider that something wrong with the gameplay. That's my biggest beef as the hitting and pitching are done incredibly well.

CB doesn't need anyone to defend him, but I will say check his posts going back to NCAA Football 09, I would not classify him as an *** kisser. He does generally side with the producers of the game, nothing wrong with that, but when he does its not knee-jerk like some people. CB's responses are well thought out and fair.

If you want to rag on CB it should be for his obsession with the damn smilly faces

Ok, didn't know about that one. Like I said earlier, I've only played 10 games or so because I've been waiting for Knight's rosters and the lineup/stat bugs. But from everything else I've seen, the gameplay is near flawless, which isn't surprising.

I completely agree that SCEA needs a MUCH MUCH BETTER QA process. This year's game should be an opener. It seems like they have top notched devs, but either their actual QA team sucks, or they don't have a proper QA process in place to test for and correct the major glaring issues.

I agree with you on this part of your comment Rudyjuly2. It's a great game, most of us agree, but it does have some issues. I can't wait for this patch .

You're right, he doesn't need everyone defending him, he's a big boy.
