I noticed this too...I was a little confused.

I searched the thread and couldn't find an answer to this question, but what is the deal with the contracts? The example I'll site is at the 0:48 mark of the video it shows that Alfonso Soriano is going to make 2.4 million dollars this season in the game. What? Soriano has one of the worst contracts of all time, yet anyone using the Cubs in the franchise mode won't be hampered with his ridiculous contract. I know this has ben an issue for years, but i'm curious as to why? Maybe someone could shed some light on this issue, but how come contracts aren't accurately depicted in the show. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE THIS GAME. It's hands down my favorite sports game... so realistic... but the contracts drive me crazy. Baseball-reference.com shows that Soriano is due 18m each year from 2012-2014... I always play a franchise as the Cubs, I feel I should be saddled with the albatross. Any info as to whether the contracts will be more accurate going forward? Sorry for the long post.

Wow...I knew my A's would be bad but Brian Fuentes is the highest rated player? Whether you want to argue it or not, the bottom line is it's going to be brutal playing with them for my season...

why are closers and rp's rated so high they're at the top on mostly every team, looks to me that every rp and closer are going to be getting a slight down grade in my franchise. How Heath Bell is number 1 and Mujica is rated over Hanley is nuts

I'm not sure which sucks more; that fuentes is the highest rated or that he's our closer.

Yep. But was really surprised to see Bourn rated as the 4th best player on the Braves and the best hitter on the Braves and ahead of McCann. And no love for Freddie Freeman and Dan Uggla? C'mon man!

When I inquired whether the problems with manage mode (managing games in franchise mode) had been addressed, Russell told me it isn't worth fixing because only 5 people play that mode.

Hopefully the contract situation gets fixed but I wouldn't count on it.

Russell@SCEA said there are more than 5 MOM players:

This hidden trophy was only unlocked about 15 times last year which means out of the hundreds of thousands of people who played MLB 11 The Show while logged into PSN. Only 15 of them total ever played one game of MOM.
