Terry Francona

[Rs31632]

Was not in last years show BUT was in 12.... I believe there was some wierd rule saying managers in their first year with a team can't be In a game??? But it's year two... Anyone know if he is in? I would love to use the Indians as my fantasy draft team but I hate fake managers

Re: Terry Francona

Re: Terry Francona

Francona should be in the game this year since he's back with the Indians.

New first-year managers are probably not in the game. So, Brad Ausmus, Matt Williams, Bryan Price, Rick Renteria, Lloyd McClendon.

I read this hypothesis on the MLBTS forum, that managers with new teams must manage 1 MLB game with the new team before they're approved (?) by their Union. So, if they remain with their team into 2015, then they'll be in the MLBTS next spring.

Game comes out in May can't they do a last minute update to get them in? As a Tigers fan no Brad Ausmus will be a bummer.

Re: Terry Francona

Dale Sveum was in from the Cubs his first year. I'm hoping Rick Renteria is in this year.

Re: Terry Francona

Are managers/personnel going to be editable this year? We could create them if so...

Would sure help make historic rosters a little more complete. Terry Collins has no business managing the '86 Mets.

Re: Terry Francona

Matt Williams has been in the game before, with a player model as the D'Backs 3rd base coach, my guess would be he is in as the Nat's manager. (just a guess)

Re: Terry Francona

Ron Roenicke was in his first year with the Brewers. But yea Matt Williams and Lloyd McClendon were in the previous versions as coaches so they will most likely be in with their respective teams.

I love that you can now hire/fire managers and coaches during the season..It would be awesome if they included bench coaches.

Re: Terry Francona

Ive just spoken to Tito on the phone.

He says he will most definately be in the game for real this year, shiny dome included.

Which shiny dome? Francona or Williams?

Re: Terry Francona

For those wondering about Matt Williams. Someone posted a Nationals vs Yankees video in the PS3 forum and the Pre Game intro that had the managers shaking hands. The Nationals manager was generic.

Makes no sense. He was already in the game as the Dbacks 3b coach. ABSOLUTLEY not one reason he shouldnt be in as the Nats manager this year. No excuse at all.

Maybe he'll make the PS4 version after he manages on opening day?
