I know what you mean. I started a new franchise last week with the Pirates and did a fantasy draft and my team turned out great:

Rotation:
Lincecum
Lester
Cain
Garza
Zito

Joe Smith, Mota, Seay, Madson, Accardo, Gregg, Kerry Wood in the 'pen.

Lineup:
2B - Pedroia
CF - Beltran
LF - Soriano
SS - Hanley Ramirez
3B - Longoria
1B - Cano (moved to 1B, couldn't pass up drafting him late)
RF - BJ Upton/Jeremy Hermida
C - Dioner Navarro

I started the season 14-6...but I haven't been able to play a game recenty. After seeing the vids for '09, 08 seems so old and outdated.

I agree this game looks awesome!

However I do hope there are throws in the dirt at first that can't be fielded every once in a while this year.

Amazin', ain't it. The game looks like it's taken huge leaps.

[GSW]

are some fielders (poor fielders) going to be slower to react to hit balls? or take worse routes when tracking fly balls?

please?

Oh yeah this is game is freaking amazing! I love that vid they have new animation and it all looks so smooth. Can't wait for this game to drop. So Knight are you doing rosters again or are you going to actually play a season?

He's a great American...

Yeah I heard the story. If I could I would rather have the Dodgers back where they belong.
