LOL, I think I'm having an mini inception moment.

hahah I know what you mean. It's like whenever you go to play a game, you will automatically download the most recent roster and play with that. That sounds great.

It seems a stadium creator doesn't exist and we choose existing stadiums as our home park. Is that right? If so, when we choose it as our home field, does anything physical about it change to reflect our logo/team?

I stand corrected!

This would be only if you played the ASTROS in DD(which would be a CPU team) to say unlock their stadium.
When you play an actual MLB team....it is against the most up to date roster.
That's what I'm getting from it.

This is a lot like playing NHL (and I'm sure other games) online. I'm order to play online you must download the most recent roster

The cpu rosters you play against are current to the last update your roster for your team is fictional. You only start off with about 10 total MLB players on your team if that many.

I'm guessing player turnover is extremely high in this game to keep it fresh. Very cool mode! Can't wait to get my paws on it. This will not be available on the Vita, correct?

This is a pretty good assessment.
Players are definitely important as you can train some of the generated players to be quite the superstar....but in the long run, you've really got to manage your budget and figure out what your team needs are and WILL be(after playing out a players career). The card recycler can and will be an important tune to get a handle on. I believe this is where your silver-gold-platinum comes into play the most...the value in the recycler.

brent;

I don't think choosing any one stadium has any effect on your logo's or uni's.

Will this mode be completely playable offline? I only go online to grab rosters.

Can you explain a bit more about the card recycler? That hasn't really been mentioned in detail anywhere yet.
