During a franchise? If so, then that's the major selling point right there. I mean, I was going to buy this regardless, but now I don't think I need two baseball games. I'll still see how I feel when I play the 2K9 demo. But, The Show pulled ahead for sure.

So, any idea how this works? I'm assuming I can basically set everything to Computer Control (re: Contracts, Line Up, Rotation, Marketing, etc.) so that I don't necessarily have to control one particular team. Because I'm assuming I still need to "control" a franchise. I can't just choose to absolutely control all 30 teams in the league.

That's ok. That's a manageable way to get this done. I like seeing season stats when I play like this, that's why I don't just go into exhibition mode.

Thanks for that.
