Just wanted to chime in and thank Marcus, Marc and the guys at SI for the fine job they did on the game. Not to sound like a fanboy but I have been having a blast with this game.

It does seem a little overwhelming at times so I tried a league with just the Japanese leagues (major and minor) to keep the number of players down to a manageable level and am running Tokyo. I have been managing every game and have been having a blast. I love the ups and downs of either watching some on the team overperform or the frustration of trying to find a closer that doesn't want to do an imitation of "Flash" Gordon in the clutch.

The only annoying thing is the lack of variety in the names of the Japanese players as it seems like eveyr team has the same set of last names in their players (There's a Yashamura on every team, more than one Abe on every team, and so on...). That has made it a little tougher getting used to my team (especially my relief pitchers who seem to all have names that sound alike).
