I meant to say HDD(the PS3's hard drive). I'm wondering if we can export an SCEA created player to there from one roster and import him onto another..only on your own machine....since they can't be placed in the Vault. M.K. Knight165

No what I was meaning was... I always use your rosters, so what I was hoping I could do was get a player with some service time such as a jim edmonds or chad cordero that are on minor league deals that make the opening day rosters (And are thus put in the first roster update), and then put him into the vault. And then after you put out your rosters I could copy that player for all the Mark Priors or others in the minors that you create that technically are rookies. I just am talking about trying to replicate as close to I can the service time so that veterans are not winning Rookie of the Year and that they are free agents at the end of the season.

Okay...
We'll have to see.
You don't have to use the Vault to move a player from your HDD to your roster(it's like a roster save....it can be moved there by a USB drive...or just from on roster on your HDD).
I just don't know if it's just that we can't put SCEA players into the vault..or that we can also not import them into a different roster as well.
I'm hoping just the Vault.

I could have sworn Kolbe said the SCEA (MLB) players built from the ground up could not be exported at all. Only overwritten with created players.

But I do hope just the vault as well.

I'm with you on this one...but I think it may be nice to enter the trade screen, and have a listing of generic wants AND players the team really wants.

Every year and offseason, some GM's specifically request players in certain trades. I use the O's trade for Reynolds as an example. (I'm an O's fan, living in the AZ and I am very good friends with a couple guys who work for Kevin Towers...so this is true). The DBags explicitly told McPhail that Hernandez was a must have in the trade. The O's pulled the trigger.

It's be nice to know, right up front, that you should or shouldn't waste your time if the comp team has a specific want.

Yet here we get a tone of pretty nice upgrades and we see "I'll pass this year" stuff..??..??

Like Rachet and Clank or Spiro? Ugh, I hate those!

I was thinking more Call of Duty.

So I had to go to Yankee Spring Training.....will that NOT happen again? Thanx in advance....

Although the Giants logo is a bad decision...your name contains two intriguing things "cuse" and "girl" on a video game forum...are you really from the 'Cuse? If so, that's F'in awesome! Welcome from another CNYer.
