I think this game will be good! I do. It's just that progression was SO broken last year, I'd expect it to be one of the first things they said they fixed, is all.

I do think the track record warrants both skepticism and optimism. This game will no doubt be better than last year- it will improve, I don't doubt that for a second

I'm hoping the online play is good. I can't even stay connected with the other game when all my other games play just fine.

Do we know if the pitching meter can be turned "off" this year?

I want to know if they did anything to improve the sports blog from last year. That was a great feature where you could simply upload your box score after a game and then check all your player stats online. The stats were a bit limited, particularly for the pitcher but it was cool. It would be really nice if they generated a short recap of the game to load as well.

I know I am in the minority here, but i'd like to see 2k give the ps3 an exclusive feature like the wii.
now i know the wii gets different features for obvious reasons whereas the ps3/360 are considered close rivals in all aspects, but i think from a 2k standpoint it would help out in trying to grab sales on that platform where they are struggling.

tho i understand xbo360 owners will be upset so i guess its not such a great idea.

exclusives for gamers who dont hav e both systems is always a sticking point.

but maybe tie it into preoder bonus's
one for each system.

i dont know, just a thought.

...and further alienate their customers that consider buying the game already on the 360?

I don't agree at all. Continue to build on their game. It will get there. No need for gimmicks - just focus on baseball.

Exactly. And with the other game going the route of analog controls, I really don't think 2K's game is going to have much of a leg to stand on for PS3 owners. There will be a small group that will prefer 2K for one reason or another, but the analog controls were really the only thing this game had going for itself when compared to the competition. With that edge now gone, unless people just prefer a certain aspect of 2K's game, I can't imagine anyone switching over.

Really looking forward to hearing what kind of tweaks they made to the Franchise mode this year. Mainly progression, draft, and free agency. Pretty much all aspects of a franchise
