Yea I agree on both the Reds and the Jays making it. Pretty unrealistic on any front.

There looks to still be room for vast improvement w/ the sim stats.

Carlos Pena hitting .286?
Brad Penny pitching 200 innings?
Pedro Feliz hitting .320?
No Albert Pujols hitting in the .300s?
No Hanley Ramirez hitting in the .300s?
No Philly in the top 10 in HRs or RBI?

FF we need to know what saves look like this year. That stat was waaaaay too low last year.

Also, what happened to the Phillies did they suffer some huge injuries? Halladay wasn't his dominant self?

In those sim stats you posted I don't really see one legit superstar posting their typical numbers... There's a bunch of B-type players posting A-type player numbers.

I'd like to know if you could give us more info on injuries, specifically how many pitchers got injured?

Also - Are Aroldis Chapman and Stephen Strasburg in the game?

I noticed that too. did Pujols/A-Rod/Mauer/Howard get suspended by Bud Selig or something?

I know what the thread is for. It is you that insisted it keep going. It is Now dropped. btw for the record your the one whining.

..... I know right.

Some insight into any injuries for why some of those guys were not listed would be nice. I see Pujols only had 170 some hits. Either he was injured, or had an extremely down year - Pujols wise.

I was playing a game and I must say the game play is much better I can finally play this game in piece..

OK, I'm 1/2 way thru my 1st game. Yanks @ Twins. Target looks really nice. Not sure what time the game started but I'm in the 5th & there's a big shadow in front of home plate right now. So those who've asked Progressive Lighting is in & looks fabulous.

The rocket arms are there, even with me lowering the Throw Meter Influence. (Looks like 2k is gonna have to do something about this.) They also need to do something about slowing down the base runners during replays, they look like they're on Red Bull. Not to mention needing to smoothen-out those same base running animations.

The AI does seem a little aggressive around the plate in certain counts. So far the hits seem realistic on both sides. Twins lead 4-1.

1 last thing...

GAME PLAYS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER
