MLB 13 The Show Features Twitter Feeds From Approved and Official Twitter Handles

[riotmonster]

Are there any MLB players that actually tweet baseball related things?

I guess now if you want to know what Mike Trout had for breakfast or see his fan retweets, you can view his player card.

I really hope Ozzie Guillen's twitter is included in this!

None of the baseball players I follow do (even in season).

Yeah none of the players I follow tweet baseball stuff either. 99% retweets from fans. I pay more attention to the baseball writers than the players.

If it were showing tweets from players on a ticker at the bottom in menu screens thatd be cool, but owell, its just twitter no big deal and an option for people if they feel like reading them nothing wrong with that.

Then youre following the wrong ones.

Everyone that I have, especially now, have been tweeting nothing but Hot Stove, Team Fests and fan requests, BUT.... Twitter is not about Baseball, its about being social and the "Twitter Bug" as I will call it in MLB13, is about us getting social with MLB players.

My only concern is that the need for getting the Twitter feed online... what happens when Twitter servers are down? Does it slow down the user interface, etc.?

I don't really use Twitter or any other social media nonsense (yes I have no friends), but I thought it would be better to actually tweet out from the game (like the result of an exhibition just being played, etc.), so that more people have chances to see The Show is being played.

But honestly don't understand what the fuzz is about with Twitter. I need more than 140 chars to express anything.
