Personally, I know that when SCEA puts something new in the game, it's been designed well AND executed well. So if it takes them two years to fully implement new player models and three years to include analog controls in the game, I know I'm getting a fully fleshed out feature. I trust these guys, they've earned no less than that from me and everyone else here. They are one of the rare devs who implement new features based on OUR wants (and I'm talking OS). We're not an after-thought, the minority "hardcore" like some devs treat us as. These guys get it. They know if they create a game that guys on OS will love because it's "sim" ( I hate that word) the rest of the baseball gaming audience will follow because a game designed with this much authenticity and care and attention to detail is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore, no matter how much of a fan of the sport you are.

Exactly.
Also the "2K is improving their game!!!!!" is frankly a stupid arguement. Not slamming 2K as I like some of the things in that game and buy it every year. Howeve,r 2K had a LOT more areas of needed improvment than The Show IMO. SCEA will, hopefully, continue to focus on gameplay and keep updating and improving franchise and commentary etc...

My thoughts exactly! With Sony Devs you know you are getting quality!

Right?
I actually wish...they would start a franchise game......sim late into the season and pick a matchup, letting the CPU play the CPU and just use that. Let it play for the last 3 innings and we'll just watch.
Everything the CPU does...is possible with the USER.
I know....they want to show off the new controls...but I'd just like to see the gameplay untouched!

Your statements make no sense to me. So you've been playing the series for 10 years and say it's boring, analog controls and custom cameras are no good, blah, blah, blah, not enough to get you to come back. Analog controls (for this series) apparently aren't groundbreaking enough for you to purchase this year's game (although that certainly isn't the only new or improved feature) so I have to ask...What were the big features that brought you back the other 9 years?

This wasn't a poor video at all. It oozes baseball. If you're looking for the NBA All-Star game, you're in the wrong place.

Don't back-tread on a great product.

People are doing the same thing they do every year - get hyped about a feature set, complain, watch videos, complain, whine how they are not getting the game, complain, buy the game early somewhere, claim how much they love the game, it's the best ever, will take off of work just to play it, find one thing "wrong" and obsess over it, complain, say X company MUST release a patch because the game is unplayable now, complain, wait until they release a patch, complain, get the patch the minute it's available, complain PSN is too slow, rejoice on how one thing is fixed but can't believe "they didn't fix blank," complain, get bored with the game, complain it's not the best ever, trade it in, complain, move onto another title and start the cycle again in 6 months when new information is released.

Same ole, same ole.

Sounds like you missed out on your morning coffee.

No, I just understand the non-sense that happens here yearly. Think of me as an AA counselor.

Wow great post. The truth has been spoken. People quit whining, this game is going to be great.
