Well this year you throw more cause unlike last year you will be throwing balls...And it's easy to work the cpu pitcher count by just taking a few yourself.

so far walks work in the demo, I don't see why this would change in the full version

Just got to reading this article the other day...

So other than the injuries it would seem there were no other significant franchise mode improvements.

Injuries are great, so long as the volativity of pitching is translated in franchise. Things like fielding, which was much talked about, are not franchise mode improvements. While they do add a wrinkle to the mode, it's nothing like adding the ability to scout prospects, and/or develop prospects/players a la NBA 2K11.

NBA 2K11 gives you the ability to split the MLE, sign players to 10 day contracts, and other detailed aspects of player acquisition.

I hoping we get there at some point w/ this title...

Just read the article and it all sounds good. Of course I've never read a developer article where they don't make a game sound good before release.

I didn't play last years game(not enough time for everything) but it's time for a baseball fix. Trying to decide between picking this up or going cheap with last years game. Starting to be a tough call.
