Don't blame the teachers. They do their jobs.

Roadman, I've seen you make this claim before and am just wondering what your basis is. I can think of at least 3 things off the top of my head that didn't make it (in-game saves, custom cam, ball spinning the right way in replays), and I know there were things mentioned in the dev blogs that also didn't make it. Anyways, just curious where you got the 90% figure from.

If you don't like NBA 2k, you can go buy NBA LIVE. If you do not like NHL 10, you can go buy NHL2K. If you don't like MLB2K, you have to go spend $300.00 on a ps3, which is honestly worth it just for MLB 10.....and finally, if you do not like Madden, well too bad....because that's all there is. I doubt very much that EA would do such a poor job if they knew we could all go buy 2K's version of football instead.

Thats really my only REAL gripe. I want to be able to play another NFL game(not outdated) when EA decides to take 3-4months to give us game fixes for what they've admitted to be "game issues".

In turn EA would change and they would adapt or be left behind. Thats why I'm so Pro-Euphoria(Backbreaker).
Who can argue that competition doesn't bring out the best in CO.'s.

It was a list that I think Bgamer came up with that I provided previously. Ian also provided a standard list at the end of the wishlist and brought it back out when the game came out.

It was agreed that 90% of what was wished from OS was put into the game.

I don't think anyone questions competition brings out the best in everything. I'll leave it at that because this is a Madden forum and would turn this thread off-topic.

The putrid MLB 2K series really breaks my heart as a baseball lover. (Who only owns a 360.)

Every year for the last 3 years I've spent money on their games only to be dissapointed. (Though the last two years, knowing the "trend" they were on, I bought it used for $30 both times.)

Not since MLB 2K5 have I had a decent ball game to play.

Freezing, DL lists that dont work, ERA not calculated correctly, Players who were demoted and re-promoted loosing their real life avatar appearance. (David Ortiz turned into a chubby white white guy in my franchise, so did any player who went on a DL stint.) (I wish I was making this up!)

And they never fixed any of it!

If you think community communication and patch releases are bad here.... You have'nt seen anything untill you've dealt with 2K forums and their games.

If whoever is on the dev team for the MLB 2K series still has their jobs, I'll loose all faith in humanity.

EDIT: I actually went out and bought a used original Xbox and MVP 2005, for a total of $40 last year after the debacle that was MLB 2k8. And thought maybe just maybe they would get it right with 2K9. But nope.... Still playing MVP '05 with downloaded CAP rosters. Pathetic 2K... seriously.

It was posted as a rhetorical question, so thanks for adding that. I posted more valid points but you just may have missed that. Its okay, we got you roadman
Remember next time answering rhetorical questions could throw this board "off topic"
Back on topic now. Has anyone seen any tweets or news about this patch today?
