Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
this is why I don't think questions are a good idea for this thread right now. The guys are trying to relay information from a community question list that was provided to them before they left and now they are getting loaded down with more questions. And some of the questions are repeats of others or repeated by the same poster.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
Got to agree a bit here. If guys would take the time to read what I posted by skimming though the pages and be a little more patient until Nem and Pared also chime in, or this is going to be loaded down with batting stance questions.Comment

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
Wow. After seeing some more pics on other sites, I really can't believe how great the lighting looks. On MULTIPLE occasions I've had to think "Is that real, or the game?" The atmosphere is such an important part of a baseball game, and it seems like SCEA has captured it perfectly.
What's more, the SCEA guys have been on this board ASKING us for our comments and suggestions. Thank god '09 is coming out since it would be difficult waiting for '10 without it!

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
The answers only thread you started before you left was a good idea. It would have been better if there was a thread for only you guys to post in. Then there would be a discussion thread, like what this has turned into.
Oh well, this is our first time doing this. Live and learn!Comment

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
Franchise.
You guys have seen the blog....but holy crap. Thing of beauty!
Let me get one thing out of the way...the travel part. Unchanged and I hate it too......I agree, there should be no way your MLB squad should be taking a bus. Like Pedro Feliciano says in the game "it's embarrassing"
. I forgot to ask Kolbe about this though. I apologize.
Maybe they can work on this next year.(that's ME saying this)...we can ask them.
I simmed a season in franchise quite a few times to check certain aspects. Right off the bat....NO CRAZY WAIVER MOVES. I did not see a bona fide MLB regular getting put through waivers. Lower tier guys...that probably got called up to replace a player because of injury?...yes. A lot of the times they made it back down and that makes sense...they weren't really worth picking up.(that's why the CPU took him up instead of a guy with options).
It seems like the CPU will go for a guy with options first(if he "fits" into the managers needs).
The option year will be for one full year. So if you have a guy with 2 options left...you can shuttle him up and down for the year and still have one left. A guy with 1 left(when in the minors) can be used that year once you bring him up.
It's when guy has 0 options left...that you must expose him to the waiver wire and hence the chance to lose him to another squad. I should be shot for this...but I can't remember if you can pull the player back or not. I don't think so though.
There are no waiver trades(meaning after the trade deadline)(perhaps next year!)...but there is in addition to the 40 man roster the playoff eligible roster. For a player to be eligible for the playoff roster, he must be either on the 25 man active roster or the DL by September 1st(REMEMBER!). If a player gets injured after the deadline OR during the playoffs...you can replace him with a member that is on the 40 man roster(thereby still playoff eligible)
September callups are automatic to your 40 man roster(remember to set them on the 31st)
The off season got a major and AWESOME overhaul. Once you get used to it...it makes sense. Everything is off the schedule now. You simply pick an off season day(if you go a week ahead of the date....things will happen in the rest of the league! be careful!) and choose it. A menu comes up showing the things available to do.
Certain days have stars on them. You can highlight them to see what the significance of that date is(last day to sign your possible FA's for instance) ...so you don't forget.
That reminds me of something else I forgot to ask Kolbe...if we can save from day to day...but I think we can...I'm almost sure of it.(please give a heads up Kolbe!)
You have a 15 day window from the W.S. to re-sign your FA exclusively(like in real life)
The off season is also where you will assign your June draft signings(if you want)
When they are drafted in June...they are put on an "inactive" roster for "safe keeping" until you can see how you want to make your moves.
If you let a Type A free agent go...and another club signs him...you will receive comp picks(in the June draft). These are sandwich picks that you would get in between the rounds. There are 5 rounds...but if you have sandwich picks you could get more than 5 players(if you make all the picks)
The off season FA signing period looks good. There were a couple of guys left on there I thought should go...but 1. I didn't sign anyone(I simmed through it and was just looking at things), so if I did...it could have made a difference to that.
There were FA's MLB guys after the period...but only one that I REALLY thought should have been signed.
I was told that the CPU MIGHT sign FA's during the season from the FA list. I didn't see it..but I was told it was possible!
more after a quick break!

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.
I didn't see it Muka...Dear Knight165
Could you kindly answer my question about Ichiro's swing animation
I know maybe you didn't use the Mariners so you don't know but it is very important to me since he is my favorite player. If he doesn't have a unique swing animation can you PLEASE PLEASE relay the message to Sony and tell them about it so they could try to do something with it in MLB '10?
Thank you so much plz reply thx
Muka
Maybe one of the others did?
Sorry.
