Wow. Thanks for that rundown. Sounds interesting to say the least! Can you skip games you dont play in?

Games you aren't involved in are always skipped, and you never have control over other players (this is a sim of your own player after all). You only play your at-bats as a position player, or pitch in innings the manager puts you in as a pitcher. So early on as a rookie, you might have a lot less playing time as you'll likely be coming off the bench or the bullpen, so you might have only one appearance per game and possibly have a stretch of games where you don't come in at all.

But what I'm saying is, you won't have to actually WATCH games unfold if you won't be playing in them? They'll jump in to the game if you're chosen as a PH or rsomething?

Oh yeah, if you're not currently active you'll just see the scoreboard fill-up as innings are played and it will cut back into gameplay when you're actually up to do something.

This sounds awesome. I have this game called Inside the Park (made by the people that make OOTP) and it's basically the same but through that text based game. I'm excited to actually be able to play out my stuff. No PS3, so I've never been able to play the Road to the Show mode in The Show. Can't wait for this.
