2022 release date

I always liked the March Spring Training release as I like to play Spring Training as it's happening in real life.

what I really like about having an early March release is the extra month of many eyeballs on the game finding bugs just a handful of developers don't have time to find. and then having said bugs patched by the end of the first week of April

I dont get why they wait until after the super bowl??

They have the stage to themselves it's a bit of a dead period for both IRL sports and gaming wise. All the other sports games have been out for a while. The NBA and NHL are in the middle of their long seasons, and they don't have to compete with the NFL drawing attention away. At least thats my guess.

No need for passive aggression. Nobody wants it to ship in April. Just laying out the hand we're likely dealt.

I'm not quite ready yet to say an April release is imminent. possible, yes. likely, I'm doubtful on that.

this isn't the Studio's first rodeo. these guys are top notch professionals and know how to get it done (and how important it is to get it done).

the double whammy of the new ps5 and the pandemic caused the delay last year but the only way I see an April release this year if MLB management still has a lockout in place.

otherwise I look for a Tuesday March 29th target, with an early access release if preordered being Friday March 25th. just my best educated guess.

having said that, I won't be disappointed or surprised if 22 gets a April 5th, 12th or 19th release for some other unseen reason than a lockout. but as it stands today I lean end of March release expectation
