Just another avenue for accessing more info as it pertains to real-life MLB. -- Sent from the Future...

Use the mlb.com news feed everyday we I logon to see news of the day

Do players not comment and congratulate each other if they had a record breaking game some how? If someone is on a streak, hits 4 HRs in a game, goes off and steals 6-7 bases in a game, or the older players hit bigger milestones? I have seen that stuff before...and occassionally there is talk from the players about a trade that was just made official.

I dont pay attention to everyone in the MLB. So to get my attention about some of these things happening on other teams, you have to tell me or I wont know..cause Im playing the show and not sticking my face in computer to sort through all the people I follow.

Also, maybe we're spoiled with the Blue Jays but they all do a lot of tweeting...and a lot of people get on JPA and then he blocks them and cry's. Or some news guy will show his stats and say hes a fantasy bust and JPA will call him fat and cry again.

I know most of it is "Hey I just had a great work out..." "I like black socks" "look what I just ate" but some things are hilarious like Jose Reyes standing in a village somewhere smiling, pointing at a burro (donkey, ***, pack mule) or standing next to a player, pointing and smiling, or just pointing and smiling.

Not for everyone Im sure but I can see how this could be fun.

For the most part they do. I often read conversations between 2 players. And many give congrats on trades, birth of children, contract extensions.
Things like that.

If you go to https://theshownation.com/ and read their home page, you will see a Twitter feed.
I'm betting that's similar to what/who we will be seeing in MLB13.

I think that would be interesting and add to the game alot more. From the pictures they released it looks like it will be a separate "mode" as well as another layer on the player cards.

They could of done both I guess. That's why it's going to be real interesting to see what they have actually done in franchise.
