Maybe they explained it and I missed it, but they were discussing trade logic, then the next thing I see is Eric Young Jr traded for CC Sabathia? I'm hoping there's more to the trade logic than just implementing more 1-on-1 trades.

Saw this too. My girlfriend was hearing me say things like:

"Wow that looks great!"
"Awesome new feature!"
"That's a good trade!"

Then out of nowhere:

"... ERIC YOUNG JR FOR CC!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?"

Haha In all seriousness, there's no such thing as a perfect system. There will be those occasional wonky trades that happen. Best way to look at it is maybe, just maybe, the Yankees valued Eric Young Jr over CC. Maybe he was batting .350 or some crazy high average and they needed an OF bat? Who knows. Sure it's wonky, but 90% of the trades looked spot on.

Overall, whether it's in-game or in-menu, this game looks AMAZING, both visually and mechanically. The additions of editable contracts and off-season contractual enhancements already puts it leaps and bounds ahead of previous version. The radio show sounds great for it's first year; extremely impressive. The skylines are second to none. The motions/stances/animations are so fluid and spot on, it's nearly life-like. Combine all of this with licensed equipment and we've got one heck of a game. The people calling this a "roster upgrade for $60" are out of their minds and have obviously not paid any attention to the streams.

Once again, SCEA never fails to impress. #1 development team in my books. They create impressive games, they interact with the community, they take feedback exceptionally well, and they're obviously passionate about their work. I cannot speak enough about their character and dedication as a whole; I have massive respect for them.

March 31st can't come soon enough... #BaseballIsBetter

I've never really dabbled in the player made rosters but do you guys think it's likely that someone will put together a roster with accurate contracts?

I may have missed the answer, but if we edit the contracts of all players to be close to what they are in real life and then start up a franchise with that roster file what happens in our franchise?

Do the budgets reflect those changes appropriately from the start of that franchise?

When a player's contract is up in the franchise will they revert back to demanding the salaries that would fit more in line with the pre-edits?

Is Houston really ranked 5th and Miami is 1st or was that just because they were in franchise mode? JW....the power, contact, speed, fielding, and pitching bars looked accurate for both teams.

Just got home... saw that there was a game with the O's, so I skipped through the game and man am I happy!

Machado got a new face scan! Also the new batting stances/pitching motions looked great for both teams. And I agree with everyone about the O's skyline... looks great! I'll watch the rest of the stream later but I'm pumped!

Manny's face scan was one of the first things I noticed and they got Jonesy's facial hair down perfectly, and all their gear they wear is down to a T! Man I'm excited for this game!

I guarantee the people that make the OSFM rosters will make sure all players have the correct contracts.

not that it matters much, but everyone else notice Andrew Miller pic with a big beard for the Yankees?? I guess that shows they can Photoshop pics into the hats

Ill assume you are talking about them doing it for when you trade a player and he gets a cyber face. Not sure anyone ever said they COULDN'T do it. More like they dont have the time to take 750+ players and Photoshop 30 hats on them. Not to mention that would be 22,500+ pictures. Seems like it would take up quite a bit of resources.

It may be shopped, but this is typical when players moves to a new team. MLB.com seems to update quite quickly. The devs may or may not be doing the shop work on the player mugshots, but this has been going on for a long time. The Show devs might be provided resources to work with as well, similar to how the media get's access to certain resources to use.

What people doubt is that they can have an automated system to do so in game or if they would make 30 version of each player. They've gotten updated hat mugshots in the game before in past years as well.

Different sites do it differently and quality varies widely.

I'll give SCEA the benefit of the doubt on the radio show, I think they've earned that. But if it's like that every time, I'll be turning it off after two games.

I thought it was better than i expected and as good as i hoped it would be.
It all flowed well and had enough flavor added to most game descriptions rather than the generic team name/result like how FIFA does it.

Be interesting to see what they add to it in the future,maybe a "inside the show" player of the week/month or some pbp of big moments/milestones like what we get in The Show's menu's.

Just glad they went with this rather than the social media path nba2k took.

No I am talking about the real pic of Andrew Miller, considering that Yankees don't have beards in pictures it had to of been photoshopped somehow, no idea what he looks like in the game though hopefully no beard. and if he switched to another team his generic pic wouldn't have a beard then I am guessing
