MLB 09 The Show Patch Announcement From the MLB Development Team

I would assume that the people that are saying things like the above quote either didn't play MLB 08 or have short term memories.

GUYS/GIRLS: This isn't EA or 2K (or any other dev that has screwed us before) we are talking about. This is SCEA. Every game that comes out will inevitably have a glitch or bug in it. Some games worse than others. But not many companies will go to the length that SCEA does to ensure everyone is getting their monies worth. Last year when MLB 08 was released there were some glitches and bugs...no surprise. But you know what WAS a surprise? The fact that SCEA came to OS and I am sure other message boards and looked at what was wrong. Then decided to patch it. And guess what? They patched WAYYYYY more than anyone thought they would. They went above and beyond what ANYONE was asking with their patch.

Moral of the story: If you aren't used to SCEA, then take it from veterans that know how much they care and things will be fine. If you are used to SCEA and are still complaining and not showing any patience, then shame on you. You should go find another game to buy and you can complain until you are blue in the face with their glitches and bugs because I doubt many other companies will do what SCEA does.

Excellent, excellent post.

This is absurd on several levels.

I know this will tick people off but I disagree with this. Sony's post release support and patch support has always been mediocre at best and I'm taling about '08 specifically. Last year they released a patch and didn't even release the details of what it actually did unlike most companies. I asked for the details and the one dev said they can't even remember since they worked on it awhile ago. That was a terrible response. Finally over time we got a small blurb of what it did.

You claim they went above and beyond in fixing things? No they did not. The slider menus were still screwed up as they had different in game sliders than from the main menu. The sliders that did not work remained that way and they never told us if they fixed them or not. The stat overlays constantly referencing the previous year in season mode rather than the current season was not fixed.

So don't start talking down to posters, saying SCEA has been awesome in the past with their patches. They haven't been imo. And calling out people that criticize this game has been and continues to be over the top in these forums.

I think he is talking about the guys who say the game does not work, or its "broken" or we got ripped off. Rudy I agree people that criticize the game shouldnt be ripped on but i think it should be constructive criticism. This game has a lot in it and that had a lot added to the franchise mode as well as other features. If you have seen the stats MLB 09 actually outsold Killzone in March, which for a sony sports game is amazing. They have a direction and it seems like they are making an effort to give us a great game. I mean last year the game was too easy, then this year its to hard. Except for the stat glitch which i think needs to be fixed, i am sure it will work out. I have played every baseball game there has ever been, Front Page, Hardball, Tony Larussa, 2k series and yes even the holy grail MVP 05 and 09 the Show is the best. MVP was a good game but i think to say that didnt have its issues . well lets just say i remember if i uppercut the swing i would hit a homer half the time lol.
