Awesome! Which I can go to the event since the Sony headquarters is literally on my backyard in Rancho Bernardo.

Something I've been wanting to find out though is why, or how hard is it, for developers to keep the rosters compatible across games? i.e. say I have a franchise season that I started in MLB 08, why can't I continue that same franchise to MLB 09, keeping the same roster intact, same player settings, retaining any records set....across games?

This is something I've wanted for years. It would seem possible if they could somehow include an application that converts an old Franchise into the new format. You can import rosters already...why not old Franchise information?

To say that it's not financially feasible makes no sense either. If I knew that I could continue my Franchise for years to come without ever having to start over, then that's all the more reason to run out and buy the new one. It's those that put hundreds of hours into their Franchise that might be the ones hesistant to keep buying the new iteration year after year. Sometimes people just stick with the old if faced with losing all the work they've put into it. I know people still playing 06.

I completely agree.
