I would think they'd have to be.

Wow I step away from these forums for a couple days and look what I miss.

This information is awesome!!!!

so the rumored estimation of about 250 new screen animations spoken of what kind of additions could they possibly have come up with?and also same announcers are back but im wondering if they have added any different speech to any of them.the past 2 seasons have been about the same.any info on that stuff yet?and also will they have added the complete real coaches this year and not just the manager and maybe one base coach.meaning like girardi wasnt even on the yankees among others.since they do have all the coaches but with fake names for most of the pitching coaches and so on

I am super stoked for these enhancements! I just worry all the new stuff may leave room for the computer AI to make silly decisions even more. I hope I am wrong

My guess is there will be an inactive list of about 10 spaces. After we draft players will go there and we need to move them to a AA or AAA team after the draft meaning we would have to cut players(utilizing the new waiver feature). I feel if they had expanded the minor leagues they would be talking it up big time.

This is a concern of mine as well.

Yes that is the reason

That's it. I'm trading in my xbox 360 towards a purchase of a ps3.
