That's what I've heard. The only reason I went with MLB2K was I get PC games before console games. PC games are much more modifiable. But I've heard so many great things about The Show that I'm breaking down and will get it. Looking forward to it.

To me the biggest point is that Madden 13 is not a descendant from Madden 12. It is a complete reboot of the franchise. It is as different a game as MLB 2k is from MLB the Show. We'll see which of the two the game ends up being.

Finally got the update, going to experiment and see what if any differences it makes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that a PS2 game is infinitely easier to program then a PS3 game. And that led to the longer dev times for the average game did it not? If it did, and a game is needed on a shortened dev timetable would that not increase the potential for bugs? Logically, I believe this is true. PS3 requires a longer dev time but they cannot afford to push back the game every year to compensate for that need, thus more bugs. Particularly when they are rewriting the code from scratch. I'd personally rather a game come out every two years and get roster updates, but realistically that would kill madden.

The show is by far the closest thing to perfect right out of the box. They had some physics issues this year but that only consisted of their friction settings being too loose and causing balls to bounce slightly too high on pop ups.

Maybe the centers weren't an issue for the pc but it was as close as you can get to unplayable for console sim players.

That's why I always get PC games. I've seen this a couple of times "Skyrim isn't customizable" and I just laugh. I said I don't know if roles were broken on the PC NBA2K. That's not saying it doesn't matter, just that I didn't use them and don't know if they were broken. For all I know, they could have been working on the PC.

Even if roles were not working well, it's not even close to how Madden is released.

I always get the PC game instead of the console game.

If only they would release madden for the pc. It's bad when i would much rather play a front page sports updated than madden.
