According to the comments on the blog, there will be no single A. Kind of a bummer.

yeh he sure does, same with the player on the edit mode screen, now we need to see the white wrist tape.

Looks awesome. I just hope that the same create-a-player/edit-a-player is used for Franchise mode as well. I'm assuming it is, cuz I don't know why it would be different.

With the RTTS can you play every pitch? Last year I rented the game briefly and everything just simmed until I batted or a ball was hit to me in the field.

I was just wondering if you can play the whole game - every pitch - in RTTS.

thanks!

Makes me worried about Franchise without Single A. If the draft is in June where will the players go? Only thing I can think of is the will have an inactive list and we will have to cut players.

I was really hoping they were going to expand on the fielding aspect of the game. I would love to have the option to play every out in the field as the short stop. Knowing that the ball is coming to your at every fielding instance is boring and does nothing to keep you on your toes.

Having to run out as the cut off, or backing up bases would add to the experience. To me, there could be so much more to fielding. And the RTTS for the catcher needs to be addressed. I would love to be able to call the game.

I wonder if they took out the barriers when fielding?
