MLB site has the contract, Teams have Call Conferences, press conferences where the players, agents, GMs and owners talk about the contract. MLBTR, Cot's and MLBs own site have the information. It's your opnion or maybe they even told people they couldn't but I don't by it. Even if SCEA couldn't use players contracts, it still makes no sense why they're not even remotely close. Nick Swisher does not make 800 K , A Rod deosn't even make anything close to the 27 million a year he makes in real life. I get SCEA spends a lot of time on other aspects of the game but they have the code for contracts they just need to put in the right amount, it would take paying someone for a day to do this. It's the same reason they have pitchers repertoire all wrong, under staffed or Jyust lazyness to look it up. You can't calim realsitic team budgets if none of the contracts are right. I love this game =, but no reason why Team Budgets and Contracts can't be right they have the formula they just need to spend the time. Hire some of the guys on here that edit everything they haven't to make this game more complete. You have guys on here doing player edits and fixing Pitchers Repertoire for free becasue they love this game, SCEA should pay them to do it since most of these edits should have been done by them in the first place. I don't know SCEA budget or anything, maybe they're understaffed, They had the wrong blue for the Jays unifroms and even had Joey Bats in studio.

They are as close as the MLB and MLBPA would allow them.
(although I doubt they asked specifically about Swishers)
The uniforms were the ones they were told would be used.

As close as they will allow them, really? I never liked 2k's Baseball game but they were closer than the show. I'm sorry man but I don't believe that, they're no where near being close. A-Rod is at 14 makes 27 million. Ichrio makes 19 million in real life in the game he's making 5.3 million. SCEA got shaffted in their license argreement consider every other sports franchise has realistic contracts. MLB doesn't hide any of these things they more than any other sport let the Players, Owners, Agents and Gm's talk about the contracts they signed in Press releases, Press conferences and on their won MLB site release the details. Forbes, ESPN, Cots, MLBTR every Media guy in baseball is given these details and give them to the public. So why is SCEA and MLB so secretive in the video game realm. I get it they work hard maybe they don't have enough time but I don't believe their license agreemnet makes it so they can't. Baseball contracts more than any sport make the details of Contracts public knowledge. Those contracts in the show are not even close to real life. Swisher makes 11 million more.

2k may of been given special privlage since they were paying for an exclusive liscense. But it's true that SCEA is restricted by how close they can match the contracts. There are a lot of small legal restrictions that may not make sense to us but you have to believe them when they tell you that's how it is.

Ichiro is set to make around 6-7 million next year, just sayin'...

[Chaos81]

1) Improve online (lag)
2) Fast play that actually skips all cut scenes/replays


They could do nothing but the above and update the roster and I'd still pay full price.

Yeah, I've always wondered about the contact issue. Really, I understand they can't be exactly the same, but there should be algorithms to make the salaries relatively consistent with real life. So, basically I don't care if they are right, just as long as they are comparatively similar, i.e. if a player makes 10m in real life and 7.5m in the game, the team budget should be 75% of real life, and increase/decrease based on the same percentage.

I really hope they work this out, because it's definitely one of my main issues with the game.
