    Can you play a franchise with all fictional players?

    This is big selling point for me. Will I be able to set up an all-fictional player draft to begin my franchise? Furthermore, will these fictional players be assigned different batting stances and appearances (ie. skin tones, faces)? Or will they all have the same stance and look exactly alike?

    Yes, you CAN have all fictional players... I don't know how it works though.

        It basically just generates 1500 rookies (new names, new ratings, new accessories, etc.), ages them to match MLB's age distribution, and puts them through the appropriate amount of development. It's essentially what Franchise Mode would be after all the real players retired and new players had taken their places.

        Many of them will look suspiciously like current MLB players...done this way so you don't have a league full of generic-looking players. You can do a draft to start off if you want.

                FatPitcher (or anyone else with answers)

                So will all their faces be those of the real-life major leaguers, or is there a pool of generic faces that the game draws from as well when it creates the players? If there is, how many of these "generic" faces are there?

                Thanks.

                    From the way FP made his post it sounds like itll be a mix of the faces that are in the gaming, which would include the some of the real player faces. I could be wrong but thats my interpretation.
