So your only motive was to tell people on the 2k boards that you're getting the show?

I hope 2k keeps those rights. This game is looking better everyday to me. I like the pitching in this game.

I hope neither gets any rights.

Miss the days of 5 baseball titles to choose from, as well as football. (loved me some Gameday and Gameday '97)

Just wish Konami would get into the mix somehow. I prefer the Show over PYS BUT the more the merrier.

I hope in 2013 this happens. Allow many companies to make mlb games.

Me too. I remember going to blockbuster and being able to choose two out of five different mlb games and just looking at the different games that were available. I hate having to settle for just one MLB game, especially because I don't have a PS3.

You might not think of it as a downside, but I certainly would. If they did not fix something that I had a big problem with, I would certainly be disappointed and look at it as a downside. It's all a matter of personal preference, which modes you play, and how you play.

And I'm not saying I want progression to be perfect, I mean I understand it's not going to be, I just want it better than bad (which IMO, last year it was bad).

I'd call that neutral, that's all.

I have not played a single sports game in which I didn't feel like the franchise was bad. And that's going back to Front Page Sports. I wish franchise play was great. It's like a holy grail.

So if the franchise play is bad again, oh well.

Alright, for the sake of discussion they did not change the progression this year. It did not get better, it did not get worse. I thought 2k10's pitcher progression was a negative. Therefore, since it did not get better or worse, I would still precieve it as a negative. It does not become nuetral to me just because it's the same, my opinion of it does not change. My opinion was that the pitcher progression was a negative.

And I should've said this earlier, I only had a problem with the pitcher progression. I did not see anything that jumped out at me with the hitter progression that made me feel it was bad. I'd be completely happy if they improved the pitchers progression so most of them do not regress after they have a good season.

I've played a few baseball games where I thought their franchise modes were good. Not great, not perfect, but good. It's obviously an opinional thing. And I'm not asking for the franchise to be perfect, not asking for it to be great, just want it improved. I only play franchise, so that's why I care so much. And I want a franchise better than 2k10's franchise, which was terrible IMO taking into account:

• No injuries in played games
• The DL had NO effect for CPU teams. Players on it could not start, but they could pinch hit/run, def. sub. This gave the CPU more than 25 players to use.
• Players would gain no stamina if they sat out the whole game, but pinch hit for one AB. Their stamina would stay the same as it was before the game, which they still should've regained some stamina because they were on the bench most the game (this one I was upset about but I can see how it would be tough to program because you'd have to make exceptions for players with 1 AB or pinch hit. I'd like it fixed, but it looks like it would be complicated)
• Players would lose their face in spring training and during september call ups.
• The CPU does not call up or send down anyone except for spring training and september call ups.
• I could go on and on with more problems, but I'd just be polluting the thread since this thread is not about franchise mode.

That's the difference between you and me I guess. You can say oh well about franchise mode being bad. I can't. It's all I play. I do not have interest in exhibition, online, or my player modes. I played 130 games in a 2 month span in mlb 2k10's franchise mode, and as you can see I felt it was bad. Personally, I have to have a good franchise mode to keep me interested or to get me to buy the game. Obviously you don't, and that's okay. We both have different opinions, different tastes. Nothing wrong with that, but people are still going to be upset because of a bad franchise mode if they only play franchise mode. And I can see that obviously not everyone will care about franchise mode, and I'm fine with that. I mean we like what we like, and we voice our opinions based on what we like.
