I think it means exactly what it says... You can't have a league across platforms, meaning people who have the game for PS3 and then for PS2, can't both be in the same league.

It mentions all MLB stadiums, five minor league stadiums and classic stadiums. Does anyone know if the five minor league stadiums are real? Seems to me there were more than 5 minor league stadiums in past years.. Columbus Clippers have a beautiful new ballpark that I'm hoping will get put in some day.

Next year at this time, I hope RTTS just won the Stevie for best career mode. Sounds like they've made pretty much all the improvements I've wanted. It's unbearable to wait!

I'm willing to just skip February.

they aren't authentic, but if u have a keen eye for those parks, you will see some similarities to real life parks.

also, there are more than 5 MiL parks, the fact sheet is mentioning there are 5 NEW ones added for 11.
I think theres 20 or so.

Ahh ok.. I thought that's how it's always been though?

I could see your case if you are winning in the top of the ninth and the guy quits and you don't get full XP, but I'm thinking that won't be the case.

Yes but say I go up 4-0 in the 2nd inning, then 7-0 in the 3rd inning. Then my opponent quits. Now I am getting punished right? Does that mean I have to keep the game close so my opponent will play the full game so I can get more XP?

I guess the solution would be to not play randoms. I am going to only play friends and league members since those people finish the games.

All I am saying is that I can see others complaining about this.

Maybe you are right though. Maybe I am just nitpicking. They have a similar type system in NHL 11 and I would get 7 of 10 people quitting and I would get less XP for it and it made me so angry that I was earning the wins yet losing XP due to quitters..

Maybe they will still reward people who get quit on?

I also want to say that this game is going to be amazing. I am starting a league with one of the NHL 11 moderators Luger33 and some of the EA NHL forum members and I am excited to have them see the game. THe mod is a Phillies fan so I have to deal with his stupid rotation but nevertheless it should be fun.

The improvements to the leagues don't sound like much, but they will make a huge impact!
