Re: Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - Art Direction
I call it the "bare minimum" routine, doing just enough to warrant justification that this approach of theirs is good business. He pretty much said it himself, "mad about something that wasn't there last year". It's marketing a product, something you're supposed to be doing, not some extra credit work for brownie points. This a sports game, something that non-sports fans and even some die-hards complain is the same type of game every year with minor additions. Their responsibility is to dispel this type of perception by releasing tid-bits of info to convince otherwise. They ARE still charging $60 this year,correct? A year after the critical bashing of 2k9. And 2k8. And I agree he was better off not saying anything, because the response he gave sounds like the high and mighty attitude that they CANNOT afford to have this year.
