I expected the game to be $15-20. I can understand forgoing online at launch. A 162 game season WITHOUT stats? With so little else to do in this game the saving grace for "replayability" would at least have been trying to set & top statistical achievements.
''' "No stats. This is not a simulation: You won't be keeping season stats, which is good, because I'm pretty sure Miguel Cabrera would end up with 194 home runs." '''
When are stats ever bad? I understand it is not a simulation, but so what? Having some simple benchmarks would really fill this game out nicely. I can't see the incentive for playing more then one season now. I agree with ravens52bears54, its tough to be excited about now.
I also read something about using the D-pad. I hope thats not mandatory.
