        I don't remember anything on roster control? I know KG said it was in the game but i wanted to Brinkman say it to. So i'l ask again do we have the ability to set all teams lineups that includes batting orders,pitching rotations, closers and setup men and who to place on the dl and for how long and who to call up from the minors and when? This is what i call total roster control, i don't want to see A.Pujlos leading off and J.Beckett closeing games or T.Hoffman starting them and if you can do it will the computer ai keep that way? without changing every thing back after you made the right lineups? Without this the game for me and alot of other people is simply unplayable! I pray that it's in the game or i will be a PS3 owner very soon, and i don't really want to be but?

          You mean in Franchise? I mean he said only 4 teams can be user controlled, so not sure if that would stop you or not.

              I don't remember much being said on that one actually. I guess we flubbed up by not asking about it.

                    For the last time, you will have control of every teams roster. This has been confirmed by dj rhude over @ vetzballin.

                    Most remember that 2K7's franchise was wrought with poor computer team management resulting in lineup glitches and an overabundance of player trades. 2K Sports being aware of this, implemented a few things that will give the user more control over the entire league. One of which added is the ability to edit all the computer controlled team's rosters which is part of the options in the franchise setup screen.


                    Brinkman also confirm-it on the conference call today:

                    Can control CPU’s lineup and change it if you’d like it. Experience tailored to player.
                    http://2opgaming.com/

                    If this doesn't confirm it for you, I suggest you rent the game & find-out for yourself

                      I believe Rhude also said though that the line-ups can't be adjusted. Or am I wrong here?

                        No...you're right...but he said it might be only in the demo that he couldn't set the lineups....and he stated he had hoped it would be included in the final release.
                        I hope so...because THAT was the biggest problem with the CPU management last year IMO....

                          Your correct, but on the call Brinkman said you could adjust the lineups. Here's hoping he doesn't mean ONLY during Exhibition Mode

                              Best news out of all of this is the third-party sim engine, but they'd really have to let them do player progression too. Using the OOTP engine would be awesome for a game.

                                3rd party sim engine, why not skip that and just tweak the old hh engine , i'm sure they could aquire that for a song, in fact seem to remember that 2k might even have the rights, them or microsoft can't remember for sure.
