MLB 09 The Show Blog - Online Season Leagues and Improvements

Persistent Chat - ability to maintain a seat and interaction in a game room, even after leaving. This is perfect for League Chat rooms

What does this mean for in game chatting? Is it open mic?

Sounds good. But we'll have to see how the game plays online first. It was terrible last year.

Man...why all the hate!?

Some guys are very interested in this.
The flex schedule and online draft with the queue is big to guys in online leagues.

the blog should have been very simple a video of these guys playing online santa monica studios vs san diego. To show us this ish works online, features don't mean nothing when you can't play so it deserve all the hate it gets. I don't want to read about online play from these guys 2 years in a row its been virtually unplayable its just words on a box/blog at this point.

Well, if they would have shown it there still would have been people all over it. You realize these devs don't have to come here, don't have to post a blog. You could lighten up a bit. I want online lag free too, but geez...."more bs, who cares"?

Persistent Chat =
Excellent addition, well done. This allows more transparity for league teams looking to chat post-game. Now rather than having side conversation individually with others about your last game bragging rights or upsets, this can be done as a group for all who have entered the lobby.

Square to forfeit opponent instead of X (not allowing accidental forfeit) =
Another excellent addition. Had a few league games end this way last year which caused much heartache for me (Commissioner) as teams were outraged.

Quick question for guys who played last year...

Is fatigue implemented online or will I be facing #1 starters all of the time?
