MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

[Rwings832]

Yes, 60.00 is a big chunk of change, there is no denying that. I guess just the little bit of what is modified, like trade logic, offseason logic, and I could of swore Ramone said something about Budget logic being rewritten. That alone to me is really good, b/c I think no longer, from what I understand will you be able to just dump old players for young studs and such, which mean, I think you have to choose your players a little big better. I know this year I am doing something a little different until 12'. I am going to do a more historical franchise, start at a certain year, and then play it out as that...just to give it a different spin.

Thank you knight and co. for all the info you have provided and the SCEA team for ALWAYS putting out a quality product.

Another reason to wait would be that any possible bugs or dislikes regarding the analog controls or any 'improvements' can be worked out in another year also.

I myself wasn't blown away with '10. I bought on launch day but seriously played it about 5 times until last October. I've been playing it since, Franchise only, compiling a mental wish-list of improvements.
Although, not expecting too much attention to the Franchise play, after hearing of the improvements and with the whole analog addition, I'll buy again on launch day this year...just because I am that big of a (baseball) fan. I figure, if it rocks, it rocks. And if it doesn't, it's still got to be somewhat better than '10, and IF '12 will be a huge year for Franchise improvements...then I can play the hell out of '11 and blast away on this forum and hope that '12 is even better. I am ecstatic that SCEA communicates with us here but don't put me in the "I'll buy it just to support them" category. Personally I only buy about 3 games a year tops, and I think The Show '11 warrants a buy from me. I wish I had waited on last year's but $60 didn't break me and I figure I'm getting my money's worth compiling my wish-list for future releases.
However, I don't blame anyone for wanting to rent it first or even sit out until next year. I totally understand.

The win - win situation will be the day we can import our franchises into the newest game. I have a hard time throwing away a franchise that I spent a lot of time investing in unless major upgrades R made. But some of the additions mentioned by Russell may be enough for me to get this years edition. Appreciate the work the developers put in but I dont feel the need to support yearly if my favorite mode has not been upgraded especially in this day of age when franchise/ dynasty modes seem to be an afterthought*cough* cough* Madden.

Agreed and the support is warranted for these guys. But since everyone is lumping themselves into a category...lump me into this is the only PS3 game I buy every year (Most likely a very small category). I probably buy 20-30 or more Blu-rays for it though a year! So it does actually get a little more use then just the show....not by much though.

I'm in the same boat. The only reason I bought a PS3 was for this game and I don't regret it at all. I play all my other games on the 360, however it's been worth every penny.

Did you read my post? I guess not. I said I "will" support the developers by buying the game and giving it as a gift (and yes, because they give a damn). The game is still supported by even those who will not purchase this game. People fell in love with their franchise and rosters that knight created (i.e. 2000 set) that $60 may not warrant a purchase this year. As I said, to each their own.
