I would love this if SCEA would be able to make it so there were different types of players for each postition. Example. Say you make a pitcher and you want a Paul Byrd type pitcher. So you would choose pitcher as your postition and then you would choose Soft-Tosser as your typer of pitcher. That way you could ony improve in certain things like control and movement and maybe a little bit of pitch speed. Another example would be you want to be a Juan Piere type of outfielder. Same as above you choose any of the outfield positions and then you choose Speedster as your type of outfielder. With this you could only improve on defence and baserunning ability and contact and plate discipline and stuff like that but your power would be limited. Also your goals should change accordingly to your type of player. Take the Pualy Byrd example. Your goals would not be strike out x amount of batters. They should be walk less than x amount of batters. Of course some goals woulod be the same like have an era under 4.

WWOOOOW... Ill be honest for the most part RTTS last year wasnt good, not bad but not good. Im starting to see where SCEA put most of there effort in and its going to be insane, im very excited to play RTTS in 09

When I was reading through this, thrilled over all the new awesome enhancements; being drafted, being able to watch your teammates at-bat, etc., I just knew that the first thing people were going to comment on was the accessories.

Eyeblack, sunglasses, gloves in the backpockets...If they they have white/black wristbands (or taped wrists) I'll be ecstatic (not that I'm not already)



EDIT: I think the player on the far right does have the black taped wrists

Wow. It seems like every grievance I had with RTTS has been fixed. I am pleased.

[metal134]

Well, I'm still hoping that they fixed free agency. Most people had a hard time getting contract offers. I would like to see a system whereby not only will teams show interest in you, but you can approach teams and, based on their situation, they may or may not be interested.

Not really though. It would make sense if you couldn't edit your accessories after you start. Now that you can, there is no good reason not to allow it for those who want it (other than some programming or priority issue. I'm just talking "in-game" reasons).

I'm hoping they allowed it, but if you can't it's no big deal...they seemed to have addressed so many little things this year that it would be hard to call it a let down or anything.
