Funny that people here still think that we’re the vast majority of buyers of this game. The fact we’re still communicating on and old school forum says enough. We’re the dinosaurs but at the bodem of the food/buy chain.

The Show will do just fine, the extra DD revenue from xbox users alone is a huge money stream.

I’m not liking the direction this game is going in just as the next OS guys but it is what is is. No boycot from us is gonna make them change course.

The moment I have to explain my wife why I buy a certain video game I call it quits

I'm sorry, but that isn't going to happen. The majority of RTTS players are not engaged on social media when it comes to the game - they're the silent majority that is going to buy the game, be stoked about the face scan thing and quietly do their thing.

You have every right to be upset; but to think the "units sold" number is going to drop precipitously this year is farcical. Could it have impacts next year? Maybe, but very doubtful.

Anxious for next week's Franchise, MTO, Presentation stream! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

After seeing RTTS feature premier, i'm not sure if I should be excited or afraid to see the Franchise premier next week. If there is such hype for these premiers and we essentially get jack-sh*t out of them, i'm afraid they're blowing Franchise way out of the water.

Idk, maybe i'm being pessimistic but I just hate how literally NOTHING seems to matter unless it entails DD. I sure hope something major is unveiled next week.

The Franchise premiere is literally going to be a UI overhaul for the Draft with some new QUIRKS or some other buzzword that ultimately is just a modifier for a draft prospect. I would expect it to be just five rounds or even just one or two and the rest of auto-drafted or something for "a streamlined experience."

March to October will continue to get a new thing or two that they will just refuse to carry over to Franchise mode, and the new COMMENTARY will be a lie about how they have "10,000 more fresh lines" when it's actually just AFK animation audio that is different.

This is all really just a product of having no real competition. I mean RBI was not ever taken serious when it came back

Competition forces to do better. Sports games suffer when they have nobody to compete against. NBA2K being the one exception to the rules as they constantly go above and beyond

I mean in reality the only other really good game out there is Super Mega Baseball which a lot of people play but it suffers a little bit from not having mlb players in the game.

99% of us are going to buy this game regardless. We have no choice. Its buy it, play an older version or have no mlb baseball in our lives.

You nailed the commentary thing. But in all due respect we did just get a complete overhaul of the commentary last season with new announcers. That took a lot of time and effort to put into the game. I am not really sure how much more they can add to the commentary. If you play 1000 games you are going to hear it all. Commentary to me is fine. I mean what else can they do? Add every announcer for every team in the game? The time, effort and money that would take. Never will happen
