Ok i know some of yall are not really going to care if this is fixed or not but for the past several years that i have been buying baseball games they still havent gotten this right. It is very annoying to me that several players on your team can have the same number. I mean how hard could it be to fix. Madden, NCAA Football have got it down right why not this game?

Re: Player Numbers
probably because when they do their rosters the MLB team sites don't have any numbers for the new players that have signed. The MLB sites are starting to update now but that may be past the 2k roster cut-off date. -
Re: Player Numbers
i understand all that i just hope that when you are playing in franchise mode when you sign players or trade players that their numbers change if someone on the team already has that number. like they do in EA's ncaa footballComment

Re: Player Numbers
That would also be nice if you couldn't wear retired numbers (like All Star Baseball), including 42.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Player Numbers
If this game has the same franchise engine as NBA 2K9, we could be in for something special...for example, I signed Lebron James to the Bulls in that title, and his #23 jersey number changed to #7 simply because it was a retired number. Now, I'm not saying this retired number issue or a fix to the "multiple player number" issue the TC mentioned will be included in MLB 2K9 (as jersey numbers overlapped in NHL 2K9, also developed by VC) but it'd be pretty awesome if they were. We'll just have to see come release day.Owner of URWL CAW WRESTLING: http://www.rantboard.net/Comment

Re: Player Numbers
I have a love/hate relationship with this idea...lol. I like how it's done in The Show, actually. You technically can't wear retired numbers, but there is a back door glitch that allows you to do so(except for #42 which is always locked).
That's perfect for me as I refuse to wear any number but #23...so if I wanted to take the Cubs out of their misery, for example, it wouldn't be possible without the back door.
Anyway, I think something like this falls into the "it's a videogame" category for me personally. I like it in theory, just so long as it doesn't screw with my plans...lol.
As for duplicates on teams, yes...I 100% hope that's fixed

Re: Player Numbers
I'd love to see this issue fixed. It drives me nuts to play MLB 2K8 online and have 3 guys wearing 39. John Grabow, Brandon Moss and Tyler Yates. Of course in franchise this is easily fixable.« My Teams »

Re: Player Numbers
Sometimes I actually prefer the ability to have multiple players with the same number, such as when editting rosters. Say I want to recreate the 1995 Mariners, which I do with a lot of baseball games, and I am making a certain player, but I can't assign him the proper number because someone else already has it. Now I need to find which player that is, change his number to something else, and go back to the original player I was editting. Or sometimes with historical rosters, two players actually did wear the same number, just at different points in the season. I would rather have them both wearing the same number than having to chose an incorrect number. Having full range of numbers would eliminate this problem.
Of course, it would be nice to have an option when I am done that pops and and says "Player X and Player Y both have number 7, would you like to fix this or ignore it?" That would give the best of both worlds. In a custom franchise, I would never want two players with the same number.Comment

Re: Player Numbers
well yeah the all star game is a different situation I guess it would be like teh pro bowl in the NFL players will wear duplicate numbers. As 4 the franchise I think it'll be like the NBA 2k series (i believe someone mentioned this before) VC usually does a good job with the numbers but we wont know until teh game comes out.Comment
