I have officially never been this excited for a video game in my life...this franchise stuff is what kept me from doing a franchise last year (after playing ASB, I just couldn't get into not having the waiver, 40 man rosters, arbitration, etc) and now we have all that and more.

Yes, please.

If they continue to make draft picks major-league ready and not projects you need to nurture, then the option years/40-man rosters/Rule 5 goodness don't really matter.

The thing that I see that might help cpu roster management is the minors options. If a player does not have any options left then he would have to accept a "demotion" to the minors, veterans usually take the FA route. This may prevent having superstars in the minors.

Have my fingers crossed!!!

Don't believe I ever remember a game being so hyped and quite possibly (at least the early stages) meet those expectations... Hopefully this will shut-up the people who think Madden's the best sporting game out there

Here's to a perfect and patch-less game!

Wow this brings everything I loved about the ASB series to my favorite current gen baseball game. My grades are in danger this semester.

That's exactly what I was thinking...until MLB came along, ASB was the best baseball sim out there, IMHO. I never got on board with MVP. It felt too arcadey. '09 is going to cement MLB's title as best baseball game ever, in my mind.
