Top Five Wishes for MLB 13: The Show

Also...I'd like to point out yet again....that the fact that they were "neutered"(for lack of a better term) in terms of contracts....bothered the devs as much as it bothered us.
(so much so that they let a little "bug") sneak in and stay in year after year that allows you to swap a player onto the FA3 list and change(randomly) the players contract(both length and $$)

But yeah...you're probably right.....they're just lazy and don't care.

Ok, let's get one thing straight (and I don't mean to aim this at you seanjeezy). But Ramone is *not* a dev, but PR/community rep. He doesn't program the game, but sells it to us.

.....and this is relevant how?(if it was correct)
(and he doesn't "SELL" us the game...that would be a MARKETING REP)....he is a conduit between the dev team and the community.
(since we're correcting here today)

Because I find it amazing at how many people seem to think that he's somehow responsible for developing the game. When in fact he is a marketing rep. He doesn't code the game, he doesn't develop the game...he's simply a guy whose job it is to sell the game to us. Calling Ramone a developer gives the wrong impression of what he does. Let's not let the facts blur the line between creative and marketing.

And and so he has no idea what goes into the game, how it works, or what constraints they work under.

Correct me if I'm wrong Knight, but doesn't Ramone also work on some of the aspects of the game as well? I seem to remember him saying he worked on camera angles or something of that nature...

He has creative input into some aspects of the game that I know of.

Like I said...he's not a dev. He doesn't program the game. Maybe he interfaces with the devs, but to think he makes decisions on what does and doesn't make it into a game is naive. He's here to market the game. He's here to rep Sony and it's games in the most positive light possible. If you think anything else, then you need to realize how things in this world work.
