Bottom Line. You will never see the perfect game produced. If that ever happened, this franchise would be in serious trouble. They would make plenty of sales on the perfect game initially, but then no one would need a new game any more. So, why do a 3rd patch, when all of those changes will be made in 2011. But, of course, I guarantee you something else will suffer. My best guess is that the gameplay will be close to perfect, but then the graphics will suffer. In 2012, vice verse. Honestly, they do it on purpose. Unfortunately, the almighty dollar reigns supreme. Anyway, 2010 is it for now and I'm looking for settings that will make for a more competitive game. I posted a comment above. Any ideas?

I've tried everything, I have it down at zero right now. I've experimented with so many different sliders and I've given up hope on the hitting system this year. But the hitting in 09 was great, I loved it. The hitting in 10 is similar to 08 and before. So random, I feel like my swing (timing and PCI placement) have little to no impact on the result.

You've gotta see the videos I'll post on homers I with with Tex and Jeter. Just laughable.

Perhaps it's an issue with the PCI like you mentioned? I've always been a "timing only" guy when it comes to batting in The Show, so I've never used PCI. My reflexes are bad enough as it is, trying to move the PCI cursor would be too much work for me, lol.

That doesn't answer my question. I'm not one of those idiots that think a game has to be perfect to be worth $60. My question is why doesn't SCEA comment one way or the other, is there a patch or are they not planning on it? As a guy who plays offline franchise exclusively there are alot of problems that need addressing and I'm not about to be 100 games in and then SCEA announces that there's a 3rd patch.

I would be surprised if there was another patch. My best guess is that they do not announce anything, because then there would be tremendous negative feedback from all of us as a result. I totally agree that they should announce either yes or no. But, as you can see over the last few pages of this post, not doing anything doesn't lead to any comments. So, I would finish the season, as you are 2/3rd's done anyway. I also play offline exclusively. What settings and difficulties do you use Run and Shoot to make for a very competitve game? I'd appreciate your input, especially since you have played 100 games.
