Seriously. The guy comes off sounding like a prick.

Great to hear about the game, though.

Now lets get some proper player progression in Franchise Mode and this game will be 10/10

Last year, players developed uber power stats and nil contact attributes

lol I'm just returning evil for evil Soxfan. I actually respect the redsox to be honest with you. And haha your right we can finally take that Redsox vs Yankees rivalry to whole new level. Can't wait for 09!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO we got your boy wsu!!! Damn I cannot wait to start my first game on the show. I think it will be a chilly night at the new Yankee stadium with C.C on the mound, rocking his new pinstripes

Great info, sounds like we're in store for some amazing stuff from SCEA San Diego next year, I can't wait!!!

I just really don't understand why every year, when I see write ups and reviews of the latest batch of baseball titles, 9 times out of 10 the author feels the need to tell you how much he (or she) dislikes baseball. I am baffled by how unprofessional it is. I never see that in any reviews for other types of sports games (nothing against Golf, but it's a pretty slow moving game, yet even Tiger gets proper respect). Obviously the people that are interested in hearing about the game DO LIKE BASEBALL! The reviewer's job is to give us an overview of the game's details, frankly I don't give a crap about this person's personal feelings about the sport, it's really ridiculous.

Regardless, I was real happy to see some info about the game. December is usually when I start getting excited about the next MLB game, this sure kicked it off with a bang. Can't wait to hear more soon (hopefully).
