Franchise looks good. Amateur draft, but no rule 5 or 40 man rosters it appears. Bummer, but I can deal. I've not finished a season in any baseball game in a few years anyway.

Everything else looks really good.

Franchise looks to be pretty deep, statistically, which is very good. Love the sabermetrics and mlb.com interface.

The end of year stats are pretty wonky and kinda ll over the place, but that's hopefully somewhat addressed in tuning. If not, it's nothing some good editing and testing can't fix

I'm thinking that the PC version will be the way to go. That may also help with my issues with the facial inaccuracies.

Anyway, great work Steve...you're certainly keeping busy...lol

Thats 35 players on the mlb roster
and the other leagues have the looks of 25
So it looks like 40 man rosters are in

Menu screens kind of annoy me, especially the background.

A 2K game hasn't done that for me since 2K3.

Some concern over the sim engine...

Mets, Phillies, Yankees, Dodgers all finish below .500 for the season. Royals have more wins than all of those teams. and finish above .500.

Dodgers only win 65 games.

Rockies finish with the best record in National League.

Arod hits something like 25 home runs while playing in 161 games. We know from the released ratings that 2K didn't penalize his ratings for his steroids admission.

During the off season, user controlled Florida has no trouble landing top free agent Matt Holiday.

Yes, it's just one sim but there are some definite red flags here.

Nice to see that the Comeback Player of the Year award made it into this game...NBA 2K9 did this so well that the winners of that award became big contributors to your team and tried to keep their "improved season" stats up for the rest of their career. We'll see if that happens in MLB 2K9.

This is something to be worried about, but VC's free agent signing in NBA and NHL this year is pretty hard, especially for marquee players. At least from what I've experienced, unless you offer them much more than what they wanted, it'll be hard to land them. I wonder if the "play for winner" attribute (first seen in NBA 2K9) can influence which team a player will gravitate toward, much like OOTP does.

Way too many players with 200 hits.
