This number is the same in MLB.tv and in MLB 13 The Show database. Let's say, no. #213 is Dustin Pedroia, and no. #143 is Jacoby Ellsbury. Before a game starts, every team has to submit the lineup, containing the Starting Pitcher, the lineup, and the bullpen. All of the 25 players who are in that game. After things are set in stone, an info comes from MLB.tv that Boston has the following lineup: 1. #143 2. #213 ect... This mode does not have rosters, instead a big pool of players who are assigned to teams, when teams submit lineups for games. This mode does not need rosters, because teams only need 25 players assigned to them before the first pitch. My questions: What happens if I would like to play a game before the lineup is submitted to MLB.tv? Does this mean,that every team has a 25 man roster before every game, that is up to date with mlb's data? What happens when a player is called up from the minors (who has never played in the majors before) 2-3 hours before gametime? Does this mean that every player who is close to (let's say every AAA player) are created in the game (of course without the licensing issues) and are waiting to be called up? Thanks in advance!

Anybody can answer?

Will career milestones be in this mode?

Let's say Albert Pujols get's his 500th homerun, will it come up in this mode?

What I assumed. Might be weird if you see some random generated player on a team in TSL though. Or do you think they might be able to at least use their names?

Yes. This most likely will be the case.
They cannot use their name nor their likeness.
Cant even use their number. (I dont think)

Don't quote me as gospel here...but I think they were talking about creating a fictional player with similar(if not exact) ratings to the player that will be introduced later in the update.

Again...this was an "up in the air" thing when I asked what they would be doing in these instances.

My question is, let's say Player X is called up on June 21, I understand that I will not be able to use him if I play on June 21, but let's say I want to play this game in July, would I be able to use the "real" player then, or are the rosters "stuck" to the day in the schedule. So that no matter when I played that particular game, I would only be able to play with the generic player.

Make sense?

This blog sold me two paid in full pre-orders from GameStop, this game will be insane. I just can't wait for March 5th!

Yes I do believe that is correct.
