MLB 09 The Show Blog - Online Season Leagues and Improvements

Russell:

Will you ever have "Managing Mode" for online play anytime soon? I'm not a button masher anymore. Just want to coach my team.

Thanks

We all know individual USER stats are kept track of in leagues.

But will individual PLAYER stats (Such as each player on your team) be kept track of in the leagues.

Like, will I know if I hit 20 homeruns with Aroid in the league? Or will there be no individual player stats like this?

[Pared]

I don't have any hope for this mode. It's nice that way, because I can only be pleasantly surprised.

You can chat both via USB/bluetooth keyboard and/or USB/Bluetoth headset chat.


Can you explain more? Is it open mic or do you both still have to press L3.

Thank you

Thanks for asking this again.....But, because they will not answer the portion about specific individual player stats being tracked, it's quite obvious this unlike the 2K game, is NOT in. I could care less if I as the user have hit more homeruns team wise than everyone else, I want to be able to track if my clean-up hitter is leading the league in homeruns etc..........Maybe next year I guess..

I never said who cares about on line I said who cares more bs.

The thing is, you don't actually know what you're talking about. Year 1 games would get the "traffic delay" sign and they would drop for no reason at all. That's been fixed. People used to disconnect at will and not suffer losses...that's been fixed.

You make it sound like nothing at all has changed, but you're wrong.

I guess that is my thought too, but I ALSO COULD CARE LESS about MY individual stats!!! I want to know where does my leadoff guy guy compare in SB's (or whatever) vs all my other buddies guys. Can someone confirm if Individual player stats for online season leagues.

Again...they DO NOT TRACK INDIVIDUAL Major League Player stats in online leagues....EVERYTIME your players come to bat, the stat overlay will read your players stats from last year. It really is unbelievable since season stats like this have been tracked all the way back to Baseball Stars on the NES in terms of "season" play......Baseball is built around individual player stats and for SCEA not to have it in this good a game, no excuse and poor.
