The only problem is that there's a progression problem after 5 or 6 years, plus the cpu doesnt know how to manage.

I noticed a hell of a lot of high-rated prospects coming out of the draft. When I started the season, Jameson Taillon was the #3 prospect on the Prospect list at 59 OVR age 19 with 5-star potentital. Now, I'm seeing guys who are like 67 OVR and 20 years old with 5 start potential that got drafted. I feel like this is gonna screw up the rest of the franchise and have way too many 20-22 year olds kicking a** in the majors eventually.

Do Minor Leaguers get called up based on performance?

The super-sim and in game save features are great. Question is...do they or will they cause bugs/corrupted files in your franchise save?

As for immersion....the inclusion of dynamic ratings TOTALLY immerses you into the ebb and flow of a MLB season. Currently, I am fighting through a slump with Andrew McCutchen that has seen his overall ratings go from 88 and plummet to 78. He is still great in the field, and on the basepaths...when he gets on, but he is hitting only. 207 and striking out at an uncharacteristically high rate.

You mentioned trades....these have never made much sense in 2K games, MLB nor NBA.
