    I was wondering if many here play the franchise mode. Seems like from the majority of the posts that people play the RTTS mode. I'll have to start playing this game a heck of a lot more it seems. I keep my PS3 at my fiancee's house, so I don't have access to it everyday sadly.

     

    I'm waiting for the Operation Sports Full Minors Roster so that I can have real prospects before I start my franchise.

    Easy for him to say.

     

    This Yankee arrogance is such crap.

     

    That revenue sharing ends up being around $6M-$7M per team. That cannot sign Fielder.

     

    The Yankees need to realize that not every team can afford an infield that rivals most teams entirety.

    The Jason Heyward phenomenon is officially out of control. Since the HR yesterday, he's been compared to Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds. He's the talk of every baseball site there is right now. Everybody is going nuts in trying to acquire him in fantasy leagues. Didn't Jay Bruce have an OPS of, like, 2.000 through his first week with the Reds? Calm down, people.

     

    I remember everyone declaring Bruce the next great thing. That didn't exactly work out as planned so far.

    I wonder if they could do it over, would the Rays take our Beckham with the first pick? Could you imagine Beckham and Longoria in the same infield. Good lord. Anyway I'm glad the Rays, Pirates, Orioles, Royals, Marlins, Giants, and Reds wanted different players. Our gain for the next 15+ years--hopefully.

     

    If they did the 2008 MLB Draft over, the Beckham SS would still be the first overall pick, just Gordon instead of Tim. The Marlins sure did blow that draft though.

    I watched it because it was baseball that counted and that got me through, but yeah, ESPN is going over the top with it even more this year.

     

    One of my favorite parts was John Miller acting shocked that CC wasn't great tonight, I guess it's against ESPN rules to point out that CC isn't very good in April over his career, but again, nobody is allowed to badmouth a NYY!!!!!!!!

     

    I'm going to love watching ESPN wonder why Javy will fall flat on his face in NY.

    I bought the game on Saturday. I played my first game tonight against my brother in law and I lost like 9-0. I got 10 hits in the game but didn't score any runs. I liked the graphics of the game, I found the hitting to be a little hard for me. I'm pretty much a swing at everything unless it's way out of the zone type of guy. I found the base running to be weird, but I didn't have a grasp of the controls yet. One of the things that happened was I had 1st and 2nd and I hit a gapper to right field and nobody scored. The runners advanced one base and stopped.

     

    I liked the pitching meter that you use, it reminds of playing MVP Baseball. One of the funny things that happened was that time was called because a beach ball was in the right field area by Ichiro, that was a fun twist. A question for all of the long time Show players I had was, is there any kind of mound charging or anything like that? In the game I played tonight there was a few hit batters, and all I saw was the hitter jaw jacking with the pitcher, and the hitter stopped walking to first and started to talk to the 1st base dugout.

     

    Overall, I'm excited to play the game again.

     

    I'm pretty sure MLB Slugfest was the only game that had fighting between players.

    Ha I was thinking that it's odd that Morgan's comparisons went across race.

     

    Is anyone as annoyed as I am by the lights system ESPN has for balls, strikes and outs? How is that preferred over the actual numbers?

    How does Bogut getting injured help the Bulls, when if the Bulls make the playoffs, they'll play the Cavs, and probably be swept in 4 games?

     

    Also I think you're being overly optimistic on Noah's output. 15-20? More like 15-10 going forward.

     

    A couple reasons I think getting to the playoffs would be good.

     

    1) More playoff experience for Rose, Noah, Gibson and Johnson.

     

    2) We wouldn't end up with the 11th pick and fell annoyed by Bucks getting it.

     

    3) Who knows? Maybe they completely surprise everyone, and upset the Cavs. Did anyone expect Golden State to upset the Mavs? No. Is it likely? No. Would if be incredibly awesome? Yes.

     

    Also, yes, I am being overly optimistic about Noah's production, but I did say it'd be much more likely for Noah-Taj to average 20-25 pts and 20-25 rebounds then the previously crazy 30-30 (that was extreme optimism born from last nights game :P)
