MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

[econoodle]

DO you think we will we get screenshots of the trade screen post deadline, before release?


Interested to see what went down.

Assuming this hasn't been done and would be very difficult to do, but is there a way to have arbitration and free agent contract demands tied to on-field performance rather than ratings and potential?

In 10, I went to arbitration with Yunel Escobar, coming off a 750 OPS year, and he got $17 million in arbitration. He was rated one of the highest players in the game, but it hadn't shown up on the field the previous season.

I have a question... When doing a fantasy draft... How many teams can you personally draft for?... There are four of us who play head to head games (09)... In that version only two teams can be controlled... BTW... We play at home (not online)... Thanks!

You could potentially draft for all 30 teams. The Show '10 added 30-Team Control, so you could control every team simultaneously if you wanted to.

That's what I was hoping for.... Thanks for saving me some search time!!!

MLB Headlines. Its BRUTAL trying to gather info from around the league. someone threw a no-no? Good luck hearing about it], and better tv presentation. its not there, so I can't justify spending 60. I just dont see how people are expected to buy the gae every year. When did that become mandatory, lest we be maligned for not supporting Sony. I dont owe em anything, I bought NBA The Inside! The changes that were made are awesome and i cant wait to see what 12 brings with another year of tweaks to those elements as well as a new franchise experience. but for the people crying foul, send me 60 clams, if u wanna support sony, i'll be sure to use it on a copy. for me, I aint Rockerfeller and Chien Ming wang is pitching like Bob Feller. The Nats WILL rise!

I have to agree with you, I usually get the game every year. They've made a lot of improvements but Franchise hasn't changed much.
I doubt the create a player changed and gave me more options for hairstyles and etc so creating a player will be the same as last 3 years.
And the presentation is beyond old, I played the demo and was seeing the same cut scenes I've seen in the show for the past 3 years. So it makes me feel like I've seen it all before.
My biggest gripe is there presentation needs to be redone from scratch. People like me who have bought the show every year have memorized all of the commentary by heart now.
I'm just going to rent the game on Gamefly and see if it deserves a purchase. The demo had too much of a '10 feel, the new player models looked great but the animations and stadiums looked exactly the same as old.

Again with this '10 feel' thing. If it didn't feel like 10 there would be something wrong. Maybe for MLB12 they can regut the whole award-winning game for you and change every single aspect so it's new?

Hey, the game might not be nearly as good if they try to change everything, but at least it will be "fresh"

I wouldn't dismiss the staleness of the title so fast...it's an issue that over time will affect sales...I think if they just completely re-did commentary, that'd go a long way
