For all of you people that love the car analogies, do you not read up about the car and find out what others have to say about it first? If you don't, then you have only you to blame.

The car to software analogies always crack me up.

Quoting myself just for context:

Following those 2 games, I simmed 4 (because I don't play every game of every series) then I played my 3rd game since the patch.

I'm now getting the 'replay glitch'. The game went 11 innings and then showed no replays afterward. It did the "MLB '09" screen swipe, then went straight to the summary screen. When I tried to go back to the vault, I had no replays beyond the 7th inning and even when I did go in and look at them, there were no players on the field...the bat and ball were there though

I also suffered another major injury that has forced me to put my 5th guy on the 60 day DL...

Whether you care about the devs/SCEA and what they've done with us, for us, on these forums IS a big issue for many of us. There are issues with the game, but how we treat the people who have, for years, come to this forum and let us help make the best baseball game ever means a lot to many of us long time vets here. I'll be a "loyalist" forever with the way some brave people sit at their keyboards and spew some of the stuff they do.

Amen.

I told you not to join the video game industry because it would damage your health but you didn't follow my advice (jk

)

Glad you're ok.

I know how bad asthma can get, my wife gets pretty bad asthma from time to time. Go get some rest

I know you quoted Jack but figured I would chime in as well. Im using the stock game, no patches and having zero problems. The first patch was mainly online related and to the best of my knowledge had nothing to do with the offline gameplay at all.

Some people might being going a bit overboard with the wording of what they are saying but its comments like this that really irritate me. First off, OS is nowhere near going down the path of Gamefaqs as I go there every now and again and its night and day different so thats not even close to being the case. Secondly, if someone wants to use the patch and it causes their existing franchise to crash then why dont they have the right to be upset? Im irritated but I came to the conclusion that either Im going to have to get used to avoiding the patch at all costs or starting over. Im avoiding the patch with hopes that they will fix this eventually and all will be well again but at the same time I dont see anyone as a being a baby here either.

Just to throw something out there. I didnt find any of the problems prior to the patch as "game killing" anyways so I would have no reason to wait on the purchase as its not like anyone in their right mind could tell me ahead of time that a patch to fix the things that didnt even bother me in the first place would in turn screw up my franchise. Now Im crossing my fingers that they are going to figure out what the problem is and get it corrected but I also wanted to point out that waiting to buy a game until all the dust settles so to speak, doesnt always work out anyways.

Glad to hear your doing alright, Russell. Get some rest, brother...

# 574 Rawdeal28 @ 04/29/09 08:18 AM

started and simmed a franchise just to see what the lineups would look like. some arent too bad but the ROCKIES and the CUBS were the worst.

for the Cubs, Lee was batting 6th, Soriano was batting 4th.

for the Astros, Tejada was batting second.

TERRIBLE!

# 575 PsychoBulk @ 04/29/09 08:33 AM

Some utterly embarrassing posts on here from the supposed mature OS community.

Get well soon Ramone

# 576 the_riot @ 04/29/09 08:49 AM

Booted out of the game for the first time ever since getting it on release day. Needless to say I deleted the patch immediately. That's one funky patch.

Gameplay still great however. I think we need a "little things" thread for the quirks and oddities that keep this from being a nearly perfect sim, so the developors can concentrate on fixing and only fixing this dev cycle.

# 577 brezz2001 @ 04/29/09 08:59 AM

Feel better Russell, thanks for all you do for the community. At least it wasn't the swine flu!

Online impressions post patch:

- No more postgame highlights. Very disappointing that a patch actually takes previous features away.

- Check swinging still next to impossible.

- Still can't hit and run. Very disappointing.

I can only hope that this will not be the last patch for this game.

Sad....purely and utterly sad. I'll never quite understand the sense of entitlement people feel they earn by simply buying a video game.

*goes back to playing the Show*

Entitlement is a two way street and people on both sides of this argument have gone overboard and are exagerating things.

Arguing over a video game is not sad. I see people constantly writing this on OS when they are disappointed with something. It's ridiculous imo. Kids dying of cancer is utterly sad. People dying in a war is utterly sad. People saying bad things about a game you like is not utterly sad.

I do find it funny that guys like to call out OS as going downhill and contribute to the very problem itself by throwing gas on the fire. You get long time posters, who do have a sense of entitlement, complaining about the state of OS and yet they talk down to new posters constantly and aren't respectful of other people's opinions either.

This is a message board! If people want to vent, so be it. If you don't like how they vent I guess you are entitled to complain about that. But if you aren't a mod, take the holier than thou attitude someplace else. That's what has annoyed me about the Show forums for awhile and is really the burr up some peoples' butts. I understand the need to self police threads but it goes overboard here. If you are really upset about terrible posts then flag them and have a mod handle it.

Lastly and most importantly, I'm glad Russell is OK.
