Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

You do....but it will be the stadium capacity of the stadium you play.
So if your teams real home team stadium is 55,000....but you decide to play in a 44,000 seat stadium and sell it out...you only get the 44,000.

We had to change this... You will now have your attendance based on your actual stadiums. Reason being, you could get yourself into serious trouble if you kept picking the 9k capacity minor league stadiums - you'd have no money and angry fans!

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

they are part of the MLBPA once they pitch an inning in the majors, unless they choose not to be. So, as long as they are part of the MLBPA, they'll be in the game.

According to THIS article, that's not entirely true. Dunno how accurate this is, but it claims that free agents aren't allowed to be licensed, because until they have a MLB contract they aren't considered a part of the union.

An interesting article none the less.

Several free agents were in the game last year, such as Ben Sheets.

If you read the article it only applies for the 5 remaing players of the 38.

Those are only the scab players, MLBPA free agents are in the FA list in this game because they are still in the MLBPA.

Scab players can never be in the union since they crossed the picket lines. And there is only 5 active left. Maybe less this year if no team signs them.

What countryboy said was correct.

I remember my first post. It was the summer of 1863, Lincoln had just moved troops into Northern Virginia, and Lee decided to........er, nevermind.

I remember reading that first post...then having to wait for the next weeks paper for a reply, much easier today...

well played gentlemen...well played.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Will the attendance number on the intro screen be correct to match the acutal attendance? Last night I started a season with the Royals and Opening Day said 11,345 and the stadium was packed.

11,000 on opening day? The Royals may struggle to draw later in the season when they are inevitably out of the playoff hunt, but not on opening day!

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I hate to be the first one to ask this (ha)!!! But typically how long after the release date does the great Knight release his first set of full minor league rosters. Does anybody remember when the first set was released last year?

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I think he usually aims for Opening Day.

Re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

I believe it was early May last year for the Full Minors Set!! I could be wrong though.

I have a question for the CD guys though! Was there any work done to callups and send downs? Last year, teams would keep young guys in the majors all year even if they were hitting around .200 and struggling. The logic needs some work. The only way players would be sent down is because of injuries. Also, in my current franchise, the Rangers had someone come off the DL, so they sent down Hank Blalock who was hitting around .270 with 10 homers and around 40 RBI. Hopefully this got some love along with all the other great things.
