MLB 13: The Show Live Launches

Doesn't mean I won't play Live Show at all -- just as a 1-off change of pace and nothing more.

Evan Gattis for the braves, backup catcher and OF.

Thanks. So I'm guessing you tried Live and noticed the bench shortage, too.

See above (er below)...

Commentary and presentation based on real life situations, weather, rosters, etc.

Just a fun mode for people who are purists with that.

it's not really that pure if the rosters are wrong

Went to play the Giants Dodgers game last night and in the SS position for the Dodgers it said TBD so I'm thinking it will just put one of the other bench options in the SS position...WRONG....It puts Hanley Ramirez in who is on the DL and our for the next 2 months

Really disappointing and totally ruined playing that game

Co-sign. This would be a great addition.

Can't please everyone. Pure enough in which they are legally allowed to do with players not in the MLBPA yet.

It's the 2nd full day of the season, people. Give them a few weeks. Isn't it obvious that all these "issues" are going to be taken care of? Of course the guys that aren't even in the game yet (due to MLBPA rules) can't be in the lineup! Give it two or three weeks and go play the game again. They'll be there.

This mode will be really cool when the season gets going, especially towards September and the Postseason!
