It would be cool if they did get it in but oh well if it doesnt. Im more concerned that it happens in real life.

Key word: Expects. Meaning, it's not official yet.

If I'm not mistaken they probably froze the code shortly after the Community Day guys left, so it's just not possible to get in for the launch even if MLB grants them permission to put it between now and then. And I doubt it's something that can be patched in either.

Frankly (and yes, this should probably go in the Pro Baseball thread), I'm shocked that it's taking MLB this long to figure out if they're going with it or not. An extra wild-card team per league is something that could have affected an organization that thinks they're close to contending in the free agent market - trying to get a top-flight player to help push them into that last new spot instead of standing pat.

Bcruise exactly. Kinda ridiculous actually.

I was watching MLB Network and a number of people on there and on other sites have said that it will be much easier to implement a ten team playoff in 2013 when Houston moves to the American League. There just isn't enough time for another series between October 3rd and the start of the World Series (which I believe starts on October 25th; I'm not sure).

How does this scream East Coast Love???

Do East Coast teams get an automatic tiebreaker over west coast teams if it comes down to it?

No way this can be in 12. It's not even official yet and the game comes out on March 6th. It will be in 13 though that's for sure.
