If a game has been released and is in need of two patches within it's first two weeks, there IS NO WAY it can ever reach a rating above 7. F- that. I won't buy the game, cuz at the end of the day 2k doesn't measure their success by the quality of the game they put out, but the numbers it moved. If I sell myself short and support a ****ty game, like folks here are doing, then I can't complain when they put this crap out next year, like they've been doing so with EVERY title.

Is there, like, a 'legit' gamers club? Do they have a secret handshake? Are icky girls allowed to join or is it a boys only thing?

Could you please provide a list of officially recognize 'legit gamer' sports games that get your seal of approval?

I don't know who my father is, can I still play good sports games?

I agree with everything you've said, except this. Sports games (especially baseball) games are not system sellers. I want games that cater to sim players too, but I think it takes two things: thoughtful developers and a gaming community (like us) willing to give constructive feedback and cry out (within reason) when wronged.

I wouldn't think it would either, but if you had a 360 why else would you buy a PS3(yes I know blu-ray but I don't think thats a huge sell if you already have a system). Gaming wise, the show and maybe Drake are the only thing I would really want a PS3 for. For cross platform games, I prefer the Xbox with Xbox live.

Thats why I wanted to see the statistics. Looks like they are putting alot of advertising into the Show as well. I don't know what the numbers are, but I know of 5+ people who have bought the PS3 and stated The Show as the reason. Just would like to see the statistics. Have 10,000 PS3's been sold because of the show? More, Less?

That's a pretty terrific point, right there.

Anyway (back on topic), I hope we learn more patch details this afternoon. If they want it out in two weeks, they have to get it to Sony and Microsoft soon.

To me all that matters is where video games are going. Compare 09 where it is today to 08 and u have a better game. Compare it to 08 after the patch and we could be looking at something close to the show. To me ratings mean nothing half of them are done by people who have never played a sports game before. You can tell by reaing there articles instead of just looking at there score.

I'm really looking forward to this. I was quite disappointed with all the bugs/flaws and have stopped playing it, but if they really do fix all this stuff (and possibly more), then I'm going to be finally able to enjoy this game
