I'm guessing low...since they are the generated players.
We'll have to figure something out with that.
Maybe I can convince SCEA to upload some "template" players with escalating salaries.
That may be a reach though...but I can ask.
Good question.

They put it in that room on purpose, to get your juices flowing, to make you salivate, to love how sexy and ESPN like it looked... how that one nice little ticker, just added a crap ton of presentation alone to the game!!!

Only to pull it away from you and make you a sad lonely boy inside, by saying it was not in MoM...

Then tell you just before we are leaving, they are fixing it and it will be in MoM.

See told you Kolbe is a masochist! Just look at his trophies every year in the game!!!

Maybe a redundant franchise question, but is there any chance you will have the option to sim on drafts for selected teams on 30 team control franchise play or is that more likely a 2012 development? Thanks!

Yes that was it. I promise I didn't write anything in invisible letters.

You will always be the batter. The goal is to have it based on real MLB happenings through the course of the season. For example, maybe have a pitcher who threw a no-no match up against a batter who went 4-4 for the week. Things of that nature. They will change weekly along with the roster updates.

Get your quarters ready!

For us obsessive online players:

1. Will online hitting in the Play Now mode be timing, or true zone, or can each player choose?

2. Will a first inning quit work the same as last yr where game doesn't count?

3. If you play a punk and he's losing can he continue to bean you and make the score 100-2 and us honest players be helpless? Or will he get kicked out and receive a loss?

4. Can opponents have different batting views and pitching views? Could I bat from a farther away view and pitch from behind the mound view online?

5. Lastly, I'm sneaking this in bc I never have found an answer to this. Will sounds of the show work online?? Can I hear like fox and espn music online even tho my opponent can't or will this cause disconnects? Thnx!
