this hasnt been implemented in this generation [ps3] it was last seen on the ps2.
Not sure if its returned in 12.

I cannot believe that people are complaining about the game displaying its name throughout the game. Especially when it's nestled in the scorebar, which is a pretty perfect place to put it.

It's amazing what some consider deal breakers, but hey, to each their own.

I could care less about accessories. Sure it only adds to the game to have more options, but it still plays a damn good game of baseball.

Happy new year though. I'm sure January will be a busy and exciting month for the SCEA guys.

Don't anticipate it this year - there are already a number of complaints about the game being too hard. This would make it worse.

I'm optimistic it can be incorporated somehow, however. Not in the way that you probably want it, but still possible nonetheless.

Now rain outs and double headers, I've said this in another thread. We aren't that crazy about them in a video game. Cost vs. benefit analysis of development time and resources just doesn't add up. So we aren't going to do it. Unless one of our designers comes up with a compelling and innovative way to do it. Until then rain outs and double headers aren't happening.

It does not say anywhere that it is the same for playoffs, but there should be no assumption that it is different either. I have seen members mention in that forum for years and it does not get touched, so I was assuming the worst. Sorry.

In ways I understand rain outs and double headers not being in, and in ways I don't. In reality I guess that is something nice to have, but not essential.

I think us franchise users become irritated when we hear that "franchise will get love next year, etc." When in reality it doesn't and we hear the same thing the following year. Obviously, 12 will have improvements over 11, but will they be significant? I guess just don't get our hopes up each year to only be shattered.

Franchise does not need a complete overhaul, it is already solid. It just needs improvement. Such as; having A.I. teams move players up or down their farm system based on PERFORMANCE and not INJURY. That would seem like a major improvement. As well as, a franchise that does not have numerous bugs. Oh well, I will hope for the best...

Have you guys considered doing what NBA 2k12 did and have a dynamic broadcast angle that was different for each stadium in the future? That way playing at each stadium will help the game feel fresh and add more of that realistic tv feel.

I don't know about the dynamic part, but each stadium definitely had its own BTP cameras last year in BOTH games:

unfortunately thats what this site has become. You really see so much complaining from people who demand perfection. Not just with this game but other games as well, nothing is ever good enough for so many people on here (not everybody).

It's amazing the guys who work on the games even want to come on here, they want the most realistic game they can make but also have to deal with the business side of things when it comes to contracts, space limitations, time, and appealing to as many people as possible.

And then people want to get on them for putting the title of their game on the scorebar, wow.
