Worst L&F Drop Ever
-
My view on this is that SDS long ago sold their soul to morph a baseball video game into something, more like a virtual commodity trading site. The problem is that doing that has also changed the focus of a number of customers, from discussing the actual quality of the game itself in terms of how the game engine and graphics replicate the real game of baseball, and into the quality of virtual trinkets.
Concepts like improving how players look in the game, how the ball reacts to the grip, rotation, and velocity of the pitcher, and how the bat reacts to the ball -- those are the areas that need focus. This because SDS has fallen well short of where today's sports video games are at.
You play MLB The Show and the presentation is soulless. It rains in the game and all the players look like they are playing in sunshine. The field lacks all concept of being wet, no influence on the ball and certainly no rain effects like splashes, mud, or rooster tails. Other sports video games played outdoors? The rain impacts how the gameplay flows, you see rain caused effects, not only on physical appearances, but most critically on how objects interact.
So, with respect, when I see so many threads devoted to the quality of player cards, and see so few discussing the antiseptic nature of the actual game, it makes me sad.
Dude hasnt even played this year and is STILL complaining.
