Also is it me or are the sliders for sure? i feel as if they have no effect on the game at all.

You can have injuries. PLay with it OFF, but you'll only be able to control trades, callups/senddowns for the two teams you control during the season.

The ROSTER CONTROL ON is for guys like me and many others who want to keep their rosters current and not play fantasy baseball (in the sense of seeing ARod traded for Pujols during a season). That way when we see that, for example, Pujols goes down for the year on the Cards we can at least put him on the bench in the minors and bring up his replacement.

Exactly Jim, that's how I always play. If there is a trade made in June in real life, I want to be able to make the same trade in my season. I don't play with stacked teams and all of that stuff, I play just as the real thing is being played.

What I am saying is, if I want to do this, I will have a season where no injuries occur and that's not realistic IMO.

If you play that way why would you want injuries? If you want your roster to mimic the real life MLB, wouldn't you make players that are Hurt in real life, also be injured in you game. In effect, you control the players who would be consired injured and on the DL.

I don't get it though. You want roster accuracy, but you want fantasy injuries too? Is that what you're saying?

If you want realism I'd think you want to take guys who are really injured, in real life, and take them off the ML roster. This allows you to do that, allow they can still play in the minors. I usually just stick these real life injuries on the bench as I don't have time to play minor league games. But, I only play a single season too.

Great to here...I assume the game looks a lot better during a day game when compared to playing in the shade like the demo?
Do you play your games in 720 or 1080? what do u prefer for this game in particular

That doesn't make sense.
As it stands now...if Player A get injured in real life..you simply move him to AAA or AA.
Granted...the best solution would be able to "injure" a player and put him on the DL.
But if you're looking for complete roster accuracy for the MLB...SCEA has it closer to right than in the scenario you propose.

It makes plenty of sense. If I am the Reds in my season and say Randy Johnson gets traded from the Giants to the Nationals, for example, I want to be able to do this. I cant do this if roster control is turned off. If I turn on Roster Control, injuries in my season get turned off. I want to be able to keep rosters current as they are in real life, but I want my season to play out as it plays out....with injuries.

I should be able to turn on Roster Control and still have injuries happen in my season. If I can control ALL the teams and I am able to make roster changes, why would they make it where injuries are disabled?? This has never made since to me.

No offense, but you're sort of contradicting yourself in your posts. You want roster accuracy, but you want fantasy injuries too? Is that right?

Maybe how I'm saying it makes it confusing...I dont know. I guess what I am saying is what you said. Yea, I want injuries to happen in my season, but I also want full roster control. I want to make real trades, but I want my season to play out with its own injuries. I know it can be done this way because I did it in MVP baseball and ASB.

He simply wants the rosters accurate. Not player status as well; He doesn't seem to mind that much.

Just wants a player on their respective team throughout his season, hurt or not.

I think the reason they did have injury off is becaue if someone gets injured for the season, then the GM needs to do some trading logic. So I think that is why it is off. You would have to do all that. So I like this way. If I guys get injured in real life I just put him off that roster in the game.

That's all I play as well Jim, one season at a time. I remember last year you could do something with the injury slider and then once you started your season, you could load your sliders and injuries would be turned on, even though roster control was saying injuries were disabled. Maybe I can do that again.

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I may try your way this year and put injured guys in real life in the minors.

Exactly Pared, thank you. Just like in my NBA 2k season recently, I traded Rafer Alston to the Magic. Nelson is hurt in real life and that's why the Magic made the trade, but in my season he is not, but I still put Alston on the Magic because I want rosters current.

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

What happens when you make a real life trade, but the guy gets a fantasy injury in the game and he's out for the season, but in real life he gets traded again?

**Knight165** · 03-02-2009, 12:51 PM

Re: MLB 09: The Show - Impressions

FORCED TRADES.
Taken care of...

I still say it doesn't make sense....sorry.
