While on hear you, in the end what is the cover, I mean we'll still see Griffey on the screens first that's what matters.

Nice to get the sked, one potential downer, as one of the many wanting expansion or create a team mode for season/franchise. they show the mlb hat available digitally for DD teams... perhaps they wouldve left a nugget on the screen saying DD and franchise mode.

Hopefully im just being pessimistic but its getting to the point where I'd literally take a roster update with create a team...

Although I am a Jays fan, Ken Griffey Jr. was my absolute favourite player to watch growing up and it is a bit strange to me that just because we are from Canada we have to have a different cover. Oh well. The cover is kind of meaningless anyways! I am sure the game will be amazing regardless!

You sound a little disappointed, eh?

Oh thanks for asking, eh? Sorry I wasn't clear aboot what I said before. I clearly was dissapointed but I rode my Moose to Tim Hortons and got a double double with added Maple Syrup and now I am alright again. Good thing I put on my toque because it is COLD. In fact I don't know why I even had an opinion of a baseball game! It's not like its hockey eh?



Haha jk. Nah the more I think about it, it will be kind of cool having Sanchez on there and still getting Griffey on the main menu and as a playable character. Best of both worlds.

Im interested to know if retro mode has any depth to it beyond "play now" games. Love to see something like a modern take on baseball stars.

retro mode is such an awful idea, from a great game maker...add more to the game it self...or give us old rosters to celebrate GRIFFY...DON'T GIVE US AN OLD GAME
