I have to agree with you that there doesn't seem to much different from last year except ESPN in the title. I am in a quandry because NO baseball game this year will offer a two player franchise mode in their games. So I don't know which way I will turn? I know what games I am staying away from ASB and Inside Pitch if it was coming out. I played both and found that Inside Pitch shouldn't even be rated against these other games! ASB I rented to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I wasn't! The gameplay is flat and bland. They do offer game options out the hole. But hitting with that "bending doughnut" is every bit frustrating. The feilds look flat and bland, the same can be said for the swinging motions of the batters. I've heard that this game was made very well in these catagories, but I found taht those were all false when I played the game. Not every game is perfect mind you. MVP has their "meter" system in the game. For pitching it's O.K. not for the fielding. Just have a hard throw button (risky) and a soft throw button (conservative). Another EA fault( IMO) is that they produce an "arcade feel" in all of their products eventhough they claim to be "more of a sim" which their not. I could defend this but I won't.

Get rid of some of the "iffy" game options to make room for this feature. Here's something they could throw away. Play-Off Mode would be a good start. I don't even use this. I am more into the numbers as a manager, and I like to do fantasy drafts. Then through the year I would work my way to the Play-Off's. I don't want to put the game in my system and say "hey let's go win the Series". The game would lose interest in a week or two doing it this way. Something else, such as Homerun Derby would be on the fence. Some of these Scenario Modes I could do without. I want good "old-fashioned" rivalries between myself and my brother!
Not to metion the bragging rights for the entire year.
