Can I rant on 2K Sports MLB Front office manager?

Don't buy this especially for your PC.

Let's see:

I try to install it, I need a new graphics/video card.

Done. $40.00 later I have a new video card.

I install it every 2 minutes it crashes b/c of my anti-virus.

Turn off my anti-virus while to operate it, still crashes.

Locks up my computer so I turn it off and my XP is corrupted.

125.00 to have everything erased and rebooted.

I try to install the game again and since I used the activation code already, I prob. won't be able to install the game.

Yep, I needed a GeForce+6000 and I had a Radeon 700 which wasn't good enough, I'm waiting for Baseball Mogul 2010 to come out at this point.

It is such [expletive], it is amazing how awful this game truly is. The bad part is that I've gone thru this trouble and the game is still a piece of [expletive] when it worked.

I started Road to the show in the minors with AA Springfield as an 18 year old CF (Veteran Mode), after playing a season and absolutely tearing the league up (though lost in the first round of the playoffs after taking a 2-0 lead),

I was back in AA the following season. In season 2, it took me a month to get called up to AAA Memphis, and spent the rest of the season there, this time winning the first round of the playoffs but losing another heartbreaking series in the championship after being up 2-0 again! By the time the season ended, I finally was just barely above the overall rating of Ankiel, and the Cards released him and signed me to begin my 3rd season starting in CF.

I've played 2 games in MLB in season 3.

Road to the show mode freaking rocks... BTW, I never completed the base on ball goals but did achieve all the others.

I understand from the forums it usually takes 2 years to get called up to the show, and 3 to stay permenantly (unless there is an injury)

I also understand to move up, it is mostly based on overall attributes and maybe the short term and in game goals (though those two are not confirmed)

I do know though that you can get sent back down for not completing goals or if someone comes back from injury (if that is how you made it in the first place)
