You can make every point you just did without saying "somebody royally screwed up" is all.

Does this have anything to do with the theshownation.com being down for the last 10 hours or so as well? It's still down.

I am so intrigued by the "someone royally screwed up" comment. Not to sidetrack from the good money that was spent on what has become an unplayable game at the moment, or at least last night, i was thinking the same thing. If there is anything to be learned from the history of the release of this game, it is that the servers are in fact always overloaded which begs the question, "why is SDS not more prepared for the launch?"

In my field of business we have a lead person that oversees tech development, servers, and the network, if we're constantly crashing, then he's held accountable. The people that work at SDS are professionals and adults, if a criticism like the one above is considered borderline because we don't want someone to be offended, then i take the stance as a consumer that feels ripped off when i can't play a brand new game, I am offended. We're not lemmings, then again by the number of people that pre-ordered (your's truly as well), maybe we are. Maybe the best thing to do for MLB 17 is don't pre-order, wait until after the release to see how they handle the server issues. As consumers, let our wallets do the talking.

Bottom line to this rant, the staff at SDS are adults and for this to be the alleged worst server opening according to the many die hards, then a little harsh criticism can be expected. People work hard for their money, when they are sold a faulty product, there should be some recourse. Unfortunately for the consumer in this relationship, once you buy the game and load it in, you've lost all rights to get your money back. And if you pre-ordered online straight from Sony, no refunds allowed. So borderline, i'd say no, more like right on the money...no pun intended.

I can't remember the last time I saw a major website be down for this long. It's a bit crazy now. I can't do any of my market flipping from work .

Same here. I play the game, but flip on the website while looking at daddy leagues. I only use stubs for RTTS players and completing the collections. Frustration...

At least it's not the whole psn down like a few years ago.
