I don't think the term "released with incomplete code" goes for the software updates in the old Willy days and Whitestar Sterns. That was mearly unintentional and unknown bugs discovered in the wild post release.

Now a days. Stern has openly released games with the promise of features "to come". That goes hand-in-hand with the much easier way to update software on current generation system. And it has the big advantage of shaping the game based on reports from the field.

It is not necessary slobby in my eyes. JJP intention to release when done and ready is fine. But of course they will release updates post release. From bug fixes to more eyecandy on the big ass telly to scoring balance. And, who knows, new features.

I agree that Stern rushed releases aren't all glory. Especially for operated games (few as they are) that are left as-is with premature software.

Also, some SAM games still have issuea that are desirable for improvement. The ever absence of info on Iron Man is one that comes to mind. So the aftermarket support from Stern isn't all that effective after all.
