    Just had an awsome idea that will never happen!

    I was just looking over schedules for various teams etc. A thought burst into my head.

    Pitchers and catchers report on 18 Feb this year. How cool would it be if they released a pre- release version with just Spring training squads and uniforms.
    Then when the full game came put we could just import and go on with our seasons.

    I know it wont happen an its stupid to waste thread space but I just thought it was a neat idea and wanted to share.

    It can be closed now and I can be banned I guess..........

    Yeah, and on top of that, you can only play in spring parks, lol. I'd go for it! I watch and listen to every Yanks game, including spring games. I'm pumped, can't wait!
    1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

        Had a similar thought some days ago when I posted that the release date should be a at the begging of March coupled with a positions battle preseason mode or something.

        Even if it could somehow be done from a development standpoint (1 less month to wrap up the game), I doubt the marketing department would love that idea. You don't want to advertise a game that has been "out" for 2-4 weeks.

        However, a pre release for those who preordered might be manageable. They could even call it a closed full working beta if needed haha.

          If this could help fix some of the bugs that come up sooner after release it would definitely be a good thing. Probably not that simple to do maybe?

                      Great idea! And I'm pretty sure that Ramone has just confirmed it for next year!

                        This sounds like a fun idea but I don't think it would be any less realistic if Adele promised to hand-deliver every copy

                            Great Idea.


                            I would like for everyone's overall to be low (e.g. stamina for Justin Verlander at 45) and build up his arm strength, stamina, etc. during spring. Let us say he gets injured and gets only 2 starts in. Then his stamina will go to a 65 and, will therefore, need more time in the minors to build it up to his max (example it being a 95). Think it will be fun to see super stars suffer an injury during spring and take time to build up their strength.


                            Of course, every player will be different, but this is just an example.

                              An interesting idea. Not sure if this would get old and repetitive after awhile, but having pitchers build stamina (and maybe velocity) over the course of the spring seems realistic and also a way to finally make spring training matter a little. It could also be a mechanism for transforming RPs into SPs.
