Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I guess I should have been more specific. What i meant was will have that option of open or closed? Or depending on the weather (let's say it's cloudy) in places Like Safeco, Miller Park, Minute Maid, Chase Field, ETC........... will the roof be closed? Hopefully that made sense.

Also i had another question about uniform numbers. If a player gets traded to a team and he wears number 23 and that number is retired will he still wear 23 or will it change automatically? Also same question if he comes to the team and another player wears the same number will the new players number change or will we end up with 2 players wearing teh same number? thanks

As JD....said...no option.
Here's hoping for next year if they add "real" weather.

...Yes....if you bring another player who wears the same number of a current player...he will get a different number.
Same goes for a call up/send down. He will get his number changed(to the new level)...but if he comes back to the original level....I believe the game goes back to the number in the editor(that doesn't change...the CPU just changes it in game)
Hope that makes sense.

Oh...and the retired number...is not used UNLESS you use the work around in the editor.

Thanks Knight. last question. Has to do with Free Agents. When we pick up a free agent (in default rosters) do we have to release anothe rplayer in order to do that? I remember it used to be that way on the PS2 just wondering if that changed or not? thanks again.

Yes...
There are only 25 slots on the three levels.
No "real" open slots.
I say that....because for the June draft(actually in JUNE this year! )...your draft picks get put into a holding roster(for lack of a better term)....and they stay there along with all your other players until you open up slots for them in your system. Once FA time rolls around in your off season..then you must decide on where they go and who has to go in order to make room for them.

Even if they don't add a Single A level next year...I hope they add a 10 man "holding" level to be used for FA's and 1 for 3 or 2 for 3 trades(temporary), so that you can do them and then decide on placement for those players.

Do we have the option of controlling all 30 teams in Franchise? Sorry if it's been answered already.

You can use CPU ROSTER CONTROL to make all the roster moves for the CPU controlled teams...in essence gives you control of all 30 teams..yes.

Thanks Knight You're the man. i did have something i want to add to that.So that means "TOTAL" control? for example. Lets say I'm the Dodgers in my Franchise and lets say Pedro Decides to sign with The Padres or whoever can I make that move and put him on the Pads? Or does signing free agents only work with the team i control? Same goes for trades? And when i say add Pedro to the Pads I mean I can do that directly from the FA list and not have to put him on LA and trade him away? Hopefully that makes sense.

With ROSTER CONTROL ON the contracts/options, etc. are, in essence off. So you can go to ROSTER CONTROL for the Padres and put Pedro on their team. You're going to have to drop somebody into the FA list (perhaps a fake player in the minors?) and then bring Pedro up to the Pads ML roster if that happens.

Oh okay that was the answer I was looking for. Thanks Jim Much appreciated. Also thank you Knight.
