Best/Worst Things About MLB The Show

[JayBee74]

I'm on the verge of buying a PS3 for BluRay and this game. Also how many players can you create and what limits do they have on attributes? Are stars from the past available?
Also, how does auto-fielding work in this game. Do you still have to throw the ball?

I think it's 20 players you can create, might be 25.

Attributes are many, pitch speeds for pitchers, plate discipline, etc, you name it. You can adjust them all. I would strongly suggest Knight's roster in the roster forum as he's done it all for you.

AUTO field works really well. You don't have to throw, CPU will do it for you.

You can also read through the forum, but I'd just read the TUTORIAL stickied at the top of the page.

Thanks Jim.

That's what I'm hearing Shaun.

this is one of the first game where the hype was for real. just be warned, it can be difficult if you havent played before. try different sliders till you find some that you are comfortable with.

Welcome aboard the Showboat!

The CAP limit is 20(begging for more for years now)...but there are plenty of editable players on the FA list and on the teams in the AAA and AA levels.
If you are planning on editing players for a long haul in franchise mode...make sure to check their potential letter to better match up who you are making. All CAPS are A potential.
With created players and fake players that you can edit...there are no restrictions on editing a player except one(and IMO a big one...potential)

There are Silver and Gold Era players on the FA list to use in exhibition mode.

My guess....you're going to love it.

I have already made some rosters with Classic teams from the past....so check through the roster thread to see if there is something there you like.

And MLB Service Time, I hope they change that this year.
