If not i'll move on i've been thinking about getting a ps3 anyway but hopefully i won't have to. I was just a little to overzelus last night and didn't mean to start stuff, it was the first time anyone had really gave out info about the game by playing it and i jumped the gun.I just hope everyone enjoys the game, including myself if i purchise it.

One of my problems with MLB 2K is roster control as well. I like to play a season with correct rosters for all teams, and make the trades, call-ups etc as they happen in the season, but in the recent past 2k has only allowed us to control 4 teams. If they went back to letting us control all teams lineups, and rosters again, that would also solve the problem of having incorrect lineups as well. Come on 2K, just give us this option. THose that don't want it can just control their own team.

Maybe I missed it, but can we human control more than 4 teams this year? If we could then I would control all teams like I did in the past and edit the lineups, do trades, call-ups etc.

No....just the four.
But they are saying you can set the lineups at the set lineups screen for both teams...good...and I said good enough originally, but now that I think about it I really hope they fixed the screwy lineup logic.
While it's fine that we can set the lineups before the game, if you still see a bunch of teams #3 hitter batting first in franchise games....it's gonna throw the stats of considerably. I really hope they fixed that.

The stats wont be off that much....usually no matter what its the best teams in the playoffs and the players who hit 40 HR and drive in 120 RBI still do so no matter what. When the games are simmed the players produce like they are suppose to for the most part. So as long as when your playing them they are in the right order thats all that matters. Simmed stats for games u dont play will all be correct at the end of the year.

Will Matt have his impressions and write-up out today?

Awesome can't wait. I was a huge show fan last year, but for some reason I am just so pumped for this game. I may even buy it before i buy the show.
