Oh. I thought it was an acronym for the description of this game: Really Totally Perfect.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Last year there was an issue with the 15-day disabled list. When a player's 15 days were up, you either had to activate him or put him back on for another 15 days. This was really annoying when the player was only injured for a total of 20 or so days. You were either forced to:

• Activate the player before he's healthy, and play with essentially a 24-man roster while waiting the 5 extra days for the injured player to heal; or
• Put the injured player back on the 15-day DL for an additional 15 days, even if he would be healthy long before the 15 days are up.

In real life, a player can be left on the 15-day DL until he's healthy, at which time he can be activated. For example, a player can be on the DL for 16 days or the entire season, or anything in between. Length of time on the DL does not work in 15-day increments, as it did in MLB 09: Show.

Has this issue been fixed in this year's edition of the game? It would make me a really happy player if it was.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I did not see any difference from 09 but I did not think there was an issue either. What was wrong with curve ball breaks?

I'll preface this by saying that this is not an issue, simply cosmetic, and it would not bother me if it was still there in MLB 2013.

I doubt this has ever been brought up, but if a RHP throws a 12-6 CB outside to a RHB, and the pitch break indicator moves straight down it is actually breaking down and in. This deals with trajectories. The ball path is moving from in to out (RHP release point to outside spot). Therefore when the pitch break indicator shows a straight down line, then it actually broke down and in.

Does this make sense? I don't know if I explained it right.

Hey Knight, I have just 1 more question. Do teams now sign FA's during the season?

already stated they don't

Darn, thanks though countryboy. That's about the only thing I dont like. Would definitely add depth to franchise knowing teams will sign that FA that propels them into the post season. Oh well, still can't wait.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I dont think this is how it works in MLB..I just read the rule and what youre saying isnt correct..Show me the rule where it says thats the case otherwise it works properly..I know there was an issue with the DL but this wasnt it.

The Major League Baseball rulebook makes no real mention of the Disabled List at all. The only source I found for the "you can stay on the DL as long as you need to" was an article about the disabled list on Wikipedia.

However, Wikipedia is correct because all you have to do is go and look at the DL transaction history for any team from last year. An example is Brian Bruney on the Yankees.

He was placed on the 15-Day DL on 25-Apr-2009. Therefore, he would have been able to come off of the DL on 09-May-2009. He didn't come off the DL until 19-May-2009. That is a difference of 24 days which is not a multiple of 15. So in '09 it appears that the rule was indeed broken.

Are there any new attributes through create-a-player?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I stand corrected...good to know.

[Jdurg]

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

No problem. I knew that it wasn't a hard-set 15 days at a time because A-Rod was never on the 60-day DL last year, but he missed more than 15 games.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I didnt understand what it was saying until I read a few different explanations. Its a minimum of 15 or 60 days and it can be retroactive (which isnt in the game) but I finally saw where they say you can stay on until healthy..

I asked this earlier (somewhere way back in this monster...lol) and Russell said no.
