the quantity sold drop in my opinion is just because alot of kids dont play or watch baseball anymore.
Its just not as popular as it was even a couple years ago.
Thats not really true for me though, as I havent watched a baseball game in 5 years, but I still buy this game every year because its so fricken good.
I just would hope they stop over patching the game next year for stupid stuff.
I admit though this game is getting to the point for myself, where if they dont add a create team, create stadium, or add some more generic stadiums with unique dimension a sights, I probably wont get this game any more.
All that proved was that non PS3 sales are declining. PS3 was fairly consistent from 08-11. Only like a 200,000 drop from 08-11 and overall sales went down like .9M. So PS3 only contributed for like 20% of the drop.
And obviously the less systems the game is available for, the less games it'll sell. Look at those numbers for PSP, over 100,000 people buying it, despite the fact that PSP can be hacked easily(even a 10 year old could do it).
And the main thing for sports games, if there isn't a HUGE difference after a few years, fans might skip a year or two since the biggest change some people might start seeing, will just be roster updates. And that's something they can easily do themselves(or download from someone who is updating rosters for past games)
how do I find out which patch I am running. I things its strange that the scoreboard works fine in one franchise but not in the other. The new franchise is giving me some weird issues.
Try to delete all game data other than your save games and install the game again after that. If you´re connected to the internet, the game should prompt you to download the latest patch when launching the game for the first time. Then at least you know you have the latest patch and maybe your franchises work better after that...

Just posted something about this in the freeze thread, but I may as well post it here as well. I'm currently on September 5th of my franchise. I've played every game up to this point, so having it freeze is extremely unfortunate. Am I just out of luck here? Is my franchise toast? Can I delete the patch? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
