    Re: An underrated and overlooked feature!

    Being able to play any game in your franchise is a very nice idea.

    Like Muffin said, it adds a lot of variety.

    This way, even though I would be playing all the games in my Jay's franchise, I could also:

    -Pitch with Clemens in his debut in Houston.
    -Play with the Yankees when AROD makes his debut.
    -Play some games with the Cubs (who I also like).
    -Play some big rivalry games like Yanks/Sox.
    -Impact the playoff race by playing some important games down the stretch.
    -etc.....

    This really makes you feel like you are experiencing all the MLB has to offer.

    I haven't decided whether I will buy this game for sure yet, but this feature is definitely nice.

      No, that's incorrect. It gives a full view(rundown) of the entire game. It's the same thing that was in ESPN NFL.

      Go check it out.

      You simulate batter by batter, can jump in at any time, make substitutions, look at the stats, etc. This is when you're outside the game itself (i.e., from the schedule screen). Once you are actually in the game, you don't have access to GameCast. I believe this is the opposite of NFL.

                  Re: An underrated and overlooked feature!

                  When you say "Jump in", does that just mean managerial decisions, or does it mean you can actually play? Can you jump back out?

                  What old time parks have been added this year?

                  Thanks.

                        You can jump in (into the game, i.e. MVP's intervening feature last year). No jumping back out.
