I think it's a really cool feature since it clearly has nothing to do with the franchise mode. It seems to be a part of the MLB Live feature which simply just adds to the immersion. Personally if I have a choice between a fake newspaper or website and fake twitter updates...I'll take the fake newspaper/website any day. Some just need to relax a bit. Technically there is no point of MLB live in a "fake" game either but it doesnt mean its not a cool feature.

It's not something I'm particularly interested in, but I'm sure some people will read it. M.K. Knight165

Haha wow...

didn't realize this was going to take place on the actual player card... my interest level has gone up by 50% now. I guess I missed that part Lol thanks Knight

I hope Brandon McCarthy is approved.

I actually love this for a number of reasons. One, it brings life and personality to computerized players who in reality we know nothing about. Maybe you're thinking about signing a player in your franchise but then you read his "Real" tweets and realize he's an idiot in real life and he has no business being on your team. Maybe youre about to cut a guy but then he tweets something sad that happened to him in real life and you feel bad and change your mind. I am actually extremely excited about this. Besides...who actually gets their news from twitter?!

Another thing that is very apparent from this thread is a lot of people don't fully understand how twitter works.
