It sounds like you would enjoy them...so take a look in the Roster Section and grab my Classic Team set. They are in the Vault also under the name ClassicMLB. Great teams from the past for every franchise. A blast to play with. M.K. Knight165

I will definitely check out your classic team set of rosters. One of the greatest parts of baseball is the history and tradition of the sport. Can you imagine playing a franchise in the '30s and having to face Gehrig and the Babe? Or trying to scrap out a clutch hit with Koufax dishing you yakkers?

I truly appreciate the authenticity of the present as it's rep'd in the Show, but I think this series hasn't touched its ceiling yet. Let us create more players (something I'm sure you'd dig), give us full-throttle control over team and stadium customization, and throw in an active history (as far as licensing will allow), and you will have squarely cornered a market.

I cant tell you how many times, I have come close to trading in my 360 for a PS3, jsut for this game, since just about everything else I play is available on both consoles anyway.

I have to agree with everything in this post. However, for me the biggest gripe I have is the check swing calls. Other than that, this game is pure gold.

i absolutely love the game. One question, where did homerun durby go?

[SDwinder]

Classic Oldtime stadiums and rosters, no doubt.

Realtime dynamic weather where clouds and shadows are moving in realtime, not just inning to inning. That would add to the immersion experience that much more.

Classic stadiums and rosters would be cool, but I think I would rather the focus be on franchises. Online play and leagues needs work too.

No complains here, except for occassional CPU late burst.

As for additions to next year's installment:

- better fielding (i know it's good right now, but there's room for improvement)
- Pls pls pls and pls, TV style presentation. Matt is awesome, Rex and soup can go.

- more cutscene (TV angles please)

- commentary ( more lines please, and please take note from 2k's commentary this year)

Thats all, other than that I'm loving this game everyday!
