I only play on ps2 but this month has 3 paychecks a ps3 n the Show in the cards; but I definitely admire the amount of class Ramone and everyone at SCEA has always shown...they're better men than I. The fact that they even read all these posts even when they don't/can't respond because they're so dedicated to the product speaks volumes.

great question, would love to know that too.

Yea, it would be great to buy MLB 2k next season. I'm already looking forward to it.

First off: I don�t want to get in anybody�s face with this.

But don�t you guys think if this place didn�t get so (over)heated in such a short amount of time in the first place, we would have gotten some answers earlier which could have calmed some of us down?

See, I don�t want to defend anybody, but I�m sure that nobody messed up the things everybody is complaining about on purpose.

I don't to hear that i must wait until next year to get a baseball playing the way if should. Don't get me wrong, I love the gameplay of the show. I'm just disappointed with the outcome of all of this.

...you could have the other system...I've played both at my brother's house...I think the Show does a great job of "playing correct" and probably the reason the bar for the rest of the modes is so high is because the gameplay is so...damn...good.

there's aspects of franchise mode that could be better...but "alot of help"? I don't think its that bad.

Ken Griffey Jr. Just hit his 248 Career Homerun off me...LOL...I thought it was great...That doesnt bug me that much as it made me laugh

funny thing is, after they released their second patch last yr, they promised that they'd fix all of the issues for '09. instead, they've actually caused even MORE issues. sure, the gameplay was tightened up, but honestly what sort of QA dept do these people have? i work for a software company and I know that if we released new iterations of our software with this many bugs in it, we would not be in business. the fact that they have these sorts of issues and can't find fixes or develop better code tells me that they are probably under staffed. if they had more developers and qa people, they would most likely be able to address all of the issues that need to be addressed in a timely fashion and still be able to work on mlb '10.

I really don't understand your logic. So your saying if we stay quiet and say nothing they will come in here and tell us that they're working on it, but if we get upset because the game came out 2 months ago and we say something then the DEVS wont tell us anything?

Alright finally finished reading every page of all these threads. Correct me if I'm missing something. The problems people are exp. are franchise crashing, no end of game highlight real, and RTTS crash. Is that it or am I missing some?

I'll play the better baseball game. Odds of it being 2k are slim to none, but still. I like the SHow, but I have to say that breaking things with the patch like replays that worked before is an EA move. Hopefully they fix it.

CPU Roster control still isn't working, at least not the way it worked in MLB 08. Also, is the Auto Fix feature working as it was previously advertised?

but than theres the other people, like me, that are just frustated that some other bugs didnt get fixed such as the DH fatigue system or the 60-DL issue.

Yes and I think the people without end of game highlight reel are also missing in game hilights (for homeruns or whatever).

The franchise and RTTS crashes are all for existing saves. I gave a good description of mine in another thread I started.

# 378 scooteristkai @ 04/28/09 03:17 PM

That�s essentially what I was trying to say. Think about it, would you jump in here, read 28 threads with 58 posts (just random numbers)each where everybody (well almost) jumps on your back because you messed sth up? I would not.

Russell, I started a clean franchise post patch install using Knights V2 rosters. No crashing issues, BUT the post game highlights have disappeared completely.
