not as refined as years past?

the first pitch meatball bug, the stuttering, and the exclusion of the old guess pitch style... mlb 13 the show is a great game, don't get me wrong..but it doesn't seem to me to be as polished as years past..i will not go back to 12 i'm just stating an opinion.. i'm not trying to complain or anything like that, this is still the best iteration of the show but what do you guys think?

I can't comment on guess pitch, because I've always turned it off. As for the other issues, they only have nine months to work on the game, so in fairness to the dev team, more bugs will get through than a game like God of War 3... for example. A game that had a two and a half to three year development cycle. I honestly haven't experienced the stuttering, and the first pitch meatball is easily worked around... though extremely annoying. All versions of The Show have had their issues in the past, I don't think this year is any more or less refined than past years.

I think it's still just March & ,much like Spring Training, this is the time to work
out the kinks.
As complicated as today's game programming is, games are just gonna have bugs upon release.
As long as most things are cleared up by mid-April, all's well.
I seem to recall every Show for the last few years to need some patch or other
so this year doesn't seem any less polished as any other, at least to me.
FTR, I haven't seen the stutter yet.
