Cool can you do crazy times that don't really happen like a midnight start lol.

I hope one day Ramone just likes a post to mess with people.

April 1st might be too late.

Your save file has markers lets say these markers contain info. Some info we keep from the save file some we don't and it's replaced with new info. That's pretty much the extinct I can explain it without giving away the secret sauce.

Besides that I couldn't explain it if my life depended upon it, I don't speak programmer. I just nod my head and act like I have the slightest clue what they are talking about.

That I don't understand it doesn't mean it can't happen though.

This is not a CD-informed guy talking but more a random lurker talking (especially because I'm not sure if I can talk about year-to-year save feature at all yet), but my guess is that those MLB players are internally tagged as such, since you cannot edit them on MLB 14. Also, MLB players cannot be exported from roster, so the game must know they have real-life counterparts. Therefore when they carry over to MLB 15 such players should be identified easily by the game by the tags and some sort of player identifiers.

Now, I just checked on MLB 14 and I think Tanaka is one of those players added to rosters via the CAPS, in which case he may not be tagged as someone who has a real-life counterpart in the game... so you may be out of luck and the game might not replace him with real photo and such.

(However, given that Tanaka may be one of few bright spots for the 2015 Yankees, it's not impossible to imagine that the devs might go extra mile to make an exception for him... you never know. Since I am no Yankee fan, it is no big deal either way, so long as Bartolo Colon on the Mets remains fat in the game. )

Hence, my theory on the "digital thumbprint" the game reads to know who is who and who is created and not.

So could you elaborate on the times we can choose from or is nothing final yet?

I would say every hour ranging from 12 tot 7pm...
