SCEA is family on these boards. It's one thing to criticize the game I've posted in the bugs/glitches myself, but, me personally and being a community leader for the game, when people take shots at them I'm going to respond. If that makes people butt kissers then I wear it proudly (I've been accused by those unhappy with the game). If you were a dev would you come on here and try to have conversations and get into peeing contests like so many people do? The devs do enough for us and keep us alerted. The first page of this thread shows that. I don't think we can ask for anymore.

I understand where you're coming from but I hope them being "family" does not affect the objectivity on these boards.

You've gotten too close to them Jim and have lost your objectivity imo.

I will have to say this as far as quality control. I didn't find any glaring bugs with the show in 20 or so exhibition games.

I played 2 franchise games last night to check it out and I saw a couple errors. 2 Mound visists to Halladay in same inning and they didn't replace him and the announcers screaming that Guillen just hit his 500th home run. Umm that would be Sheffield and he no longer plays in Detroit.

But other than that I would need to test the game alot more to find problems.

I found game killers for 2k and Ncaa football within minutes.

Question... based on what you say, have you ever tried diving for a ball holding down the R2 button & after coming up with the ball, instead of being able to throw the ball to first base to throw out the runner, that the ball throws to home plate instead? If so, would you not consider that to be a gameplay bug?

If you have not encountered this yet, try playing a game either against the CPU or against a friend playing you on the same playstation 3 & dive for the ball using the R2 & see what happens. Btw... don't just flick the R2 button but actually hold it down & you will see what I mean. Basically the bug is, that the R2 button is an undocumented throw to home button. (duplicating with no purpose the function of the X button to the detriment of being able to smoothly play a dive & then throwing the ball to the proper base afterward)

Rudy, not true. You're sort of saying I'm lying about the game.

There are many objective posts on these boards, you make those Rudy. But people who imply we are being "strung along", that's not objective. You've been here long enough to know these guys have bent over backwards coming to this community to get our help and have put things in the game that we have requested.

If you can show me where I've been a fanboy and protected this games bugs/glitches, please do. You know Rudy, I have seen a couple bugs, that's it, since I've been playing. Do you think I, Mr. Roster Control, am happy with the lineup bug? No way, and I've said so.

There are as many people having no problems with the game, and as many people who can overlook some small bugs in video games because they ARE video games and that's not to say the big bugs need addressing.

In my response to SCEA I knocked their Q&A big time, even told them to put ME in charge (tongue in cheek), but I also realize they have cut off dates and have a higher power telling them when to release the game. Then they have these boards wanting everything in the game but the kitchen sink. They try to please, can't always pull it off.

Rudy, if you went to the community event and watched these people at work for three days I don't think you'd be saying I've lost my objectivity, but that's your opinion. The event wasn't a butt kissing expedition, but SCEA doesn't, and shouldn't come here to defend themselves from some of the over the top stuff that is said. The community leaders can do that, and NOT lose their objectivity.
