Looks like a good base though.

Yeah, that stuff is not in there. I think the reasoning was not overwhelming gamers/not having enough time this year to put that stuff in correctly.

As they explained it, it pretty much sounds like it will be identical to how NBA 2K Today works. So we should get constantly updated rosters, lineups, and then obviously we will also get the day's pitching match-ups to mess around with etc. And then we should get the standings/stat overlays that mimic real life in exhibition games and then adhere to what's happening within your own franchise mode game.

Yeah I asked about this is as well. Basically anyone who qualifies as a Type A or B, is automatically a Type A or B since you do not have to go through the process of tendering a contract etc. to that player -- so there's no way for the player to turn down the contract and then obviously be tied to a first- or second-round pick if another team signs him.

This means any team who signs someone who is classified as a Type A or B automatically gives up the pick regardless of whether or not the player's old team tried to sign him. Again, the reasoning seems to be not wanting to overwhelm gamers/not having enough time this year to put that stuff in correctly.

Hmmm...some of this is disappointing.....but like I said...it's a start.
Thanks Chase.

....and so realistic.(if this is indeed what this means...are we sure of that?)

I hope for game to move away from this kind of thing for GM modes.
Player finder...fine...but if you can simply put a players name into the trade finder...and find a plethora(wow....did I just use that word! )...of players to get in return automatically.....where is the fun in that?
Rumor mill....or putting your guy on the block and getting offers...fine...but I hate anything that's "instant" in a GM mode. Sorting ratings by number....instantly knowing if a trade is going to go through...etc(I've even got the SCEA team to get rid of the trade acceptance bar in the screen...hopefully this year...if not next....so you have to wait for the opposing GM to e-mail you of his answer)...it's that kind of thing that makes for a more realistic franchise mode.

Sounds great. My opinions are changing about this game and so far it is looking that i might have 2 baseball games to play this year.
