Some of this stuff is just unnecessary. The game doesn't need more realism. It needs to get back to finding a fair balance of FUN and realism. The Show as lost some of the fun factor in its quest to be the best simulation of a sport. Just my opinion.

Couldn't agree more about the bullpen logic. I'm still often seeing the CPU bring in a lefties to face my best right handed batters and vice versa.

I disagree. Give me the most realistic approach to building a baseball franchise and make me work to build a good team. But that's my opinion and I'd die to get contracts and roster building that makes you think.
