That is a very good point.

I'd like to see Sony employ / work with some sabermetric types to really beef up the entire stats system. It wouldn't take a lot of work, just some more math in the source code. Most of the values needed are already part of the game, it just takes some extra calulations. If this were a PC game, I could only imagine the type of stats we'd be dealing with...it would be amazing.

Bottom line, the advance stats are better than the routine, everyday stats available. And the purchase price is only $1 USD, so you can't complain too much. You're only giving up a Starbucks coffee (or whatever you drink) for a day.

Well I definitely missed the text that said you could only read these stats online, otherwise I wouldn't have purchased them. Am I overestimating the ability for the PS3 to do baseball math? Or is this some type of security issue?

I agree with you about the "having to be online". Its the same issue with the classic stadiums from last year. All that is for a different thread though...

As far as the baseball math comment, it has nothing to do with the PS3. Its a matter of adding the code with a few more visual displays. An extra few lines of code doing so math operations along with some new visuals for the stats display wouldn't take up to much memory. It all comes down to a matter of priorities, and this year, franchise was not high on the list. Who are the biggest stat gurus? Franchise players.

Is this just for your team in franchise mode, or can it be sorted throughout the league leaders etc.?

Really giving people credit there, aren't ya? Just because people don't post or eat, sleep, and drink The Show doesn't mean they aren't up to date on terms, references, and stats in baseball in general. I'm sure more than 1% of people that post in these forums are into fantasy baseball and those stats are more utilized there than you would think as well. But I'm sure by your account 99% of THOSE people don't know what those stats are or mean either. Stop drinking the kool-aid that is your mind. It makes you sound inferior to me and many others.

The bottom line is if the advanced stats add enough value to the product overall to promote purchases, they'd implement it. By selling the feature as an add-on SCEA might be testing if enough interests are there for future versions. They have a tough task of trying to seel essentially similar products year after year by incrementally adding values. Not sure advanced stats are one of them...
