    So then it could be that SCEA refused to pay for Francona? That would shock me if true.

      Noticed some stuttering in the video that was posted so far (PS3) and i'm concerned about it. How bad is it, last year the game was super smooth with just the odd stutter, but I noticed it quite a bit in the video. Hopefully it just looked worse on the video than it really was. Please comment. Thanks.

        They have updated them before. But I'm not sure what the details were for that update. I believe the mangers have to be a member of the MLBPA or similar organization to be put in. Francona was in the game when he was with Boston.

          Would like to see if there is a noticeable difference from last year now that they are using a new method.
          I asked Bat to take some pics of the Mariners pitchers' player cards, here are their repertoires:

          Carter Capps - 4SB, CB, CH
          Charlie Furbush - 2SFB, CB, 4SB, CH, SL
          Oliver Perez - SNK, SL, CH, 4SB
          Stephen Pryor - 4SB, SL, CH
          Tom Wilhelmsen - 4SB, CB, 2SFB, CH
          Hector Noesi - 2SFB, 4SB, SL, CH, CB
          Lucas Luetge - SL, SNK, CB
          Blake Beavan - 4SB, 2SFB, SL, CB, CH
          Felix Hernandez - SNK, 4SB, CH, SCV, SL
          Hisashi Iwakuma - 4SB, SPL, SL, SNK, CB
          Erasmo Ramirez - 4SB, 2SFB, CH, SL, CB

          Felix's repertoire was a special exemption from last year's pitch repertoire correction thread, the rest are via pitch f/x.

            I'll reserve judgement for now. This is just a major buzz kill.

              For generated players can you comment on how often certain tendencies come up?

              It was said that it would be a weighted average so I assume less extreme push and pull and more pull, push and balanced.

                SCEA has to purchase the rights to use real managers and coaches. If a manager or coach doesn't want his likeness used in a videogame he can decline the offer. That is why Francona isn't in along with other coaches as and managers. It's a legal rights issue.

                  Also when they added managers in the game a few years back it was like because SCEA had them in with the default roster then they put out a roster update and some of the managers in the original default roster disappeared and it was considered a glitch if I am not mistaken. They eventually made back in via patch or roster update I can't remember which one.

                    I think that year the glitch was they had the former managers in the game and the patch added the current managers. I remember Showalter was added like that, because I was beyond pissed when I loaded it up and Trembley was still manger. Then after I installed the patch Showalter was in.

                          Is Michael Pineda on the Yankees roster? Or was he left out of the game for missing an entire MLB season?

                          Thank you.

                            They didn't leave him out because they refused to pay.

                            It's just like with rookies, you can't be in the game until you've played/managed an MLB game. And if you miss at least an entire year, you can't be added back into the game until you're in a game again.

                            And even then, rookies last year like Darvish and Cespedes weren't given REAL faces last year, they were just added as create-a-players, they are getting real faces THIS year.

                            To my knowledge, no first year manager has ever been in the game with an actual digital face during their first year....they always get put in the game during their SECOND year.

                            Managers and coaches who were in the game last year on different teams are just moved to their new team, but if you didn't play, coach, or manage in MLB last year....you're not getting in the game this year.

                            It sucks, but legally there is nothing they can do about it.

                            Players who missed the entire year due to injury but are still signed to a team are the only exceptions to that rule...for example, I believe Victor Martinez is still allowed to be in MLB 13 The Show even though he missed all of 2012 because he is signed to a long term deal with the Tigers.

                              Are foul tips into the catchers glove finaly in the game this year?
                              How are the new hitting cameras this year?
                              How is pals pitching this year compared to last year?
