wow that is a huge blow to the game... release a game and not fix it until 2 months later!

What a joke!

Thats very disapointing. Its said when a company can charge what these companies charge for games and there not right out of the box let alone the consumer having to wait forever to get a patch to fix things that should not have to be fixed in the first place. Its just not right.

This has shed a different light on my franchise, theres no way i can afford to wait until what sounds like at least May to start, no way at all if i want to get at least a full season or more in, so the plan at the moment is to wait for the OS Full Minors (work has now started on these) and then start up my franny, the patch will more than likely still be fine on existing frannys so ill go with that.

I wanted to wait but with work not even starting until the end of April, theres no way i can justify waiting that long sadly.

Ill go with the workarounds to stop any crazy trades and just enjoy the game for what it is.

I am glad I have changed my habits for buying sports games, I would be a little ticked off if I had the game and had to wait that long for a patch. I will just wait until the patches come out then buy the game after that. I refuse to buy any more sports games until patches are out. You dont have to deal with the bugs and glitches and by then you can get the game for $20.00 less than release day and it is completed.

I am 3 years deep into my franchise and have only seen one weird thing happen... I am the Yankees, and somehow we made a trade that I didn't have anything to do with. We traded a few minor leaguers to the Marlins for Chris Coghlan.

I didnt notice many CPU trades, but I did see Beckett and Ortiz get traded to the Mariners for some minor league nobody, during the middle of a pennant race. That was odd. Needless to say, I caught the sox and passed them after the deal...

You've been here since 2005. It's not like this is uncommon in this industry. Have you never played a sports game in the 4+ years you've been registered? Last year's patch, between testing and waiting for approval, wasn't approved until April 27th.

None of this should be shocking or "new" to a large % of you.

I've followed suit this year. Like Pared said below this shouldn't be of any suprise to many of us here. I have only been around a few years and know that I should wait to purchase until it all gets fixed up. Plus I'll be able to pick up a fixed, complete game for a bargain. Win win.
