I'm not sure where the confusion is here. I think they basically will make all stats true to the MLB season unless you play those sets of games that day. So, say you play as the Royals a few games in and Eric Hosmer is 7-for-18 to start off the season, then you play the next game and go 2-for-3 and in real life he went 1-for-4, then your season will show that he is now 9-for-21, not 8-for-22.
I hope that makes sense. For the record, I still can't see this as being perfect. I forget which OS member it was who used to want to play every game of the season the day that it was played, and then make the same roster moves when they did in real life as well... and I couldn't ever understand why he would want to do that, or exactly how it would work. If he played as the Nationals and Espinosa goes down, I don't think he would want to put him on the DL in his season as well. Or say a player gets brought up in real life who sucks in the game, and he brings up this player and he sucks, I don't think he would want to keep playing him and keep him in the majors, etc.
That's the only reason this thing would kind of be weird.

There are a few on OS who do that and I know a fair share of people outside of OS who do that too. EVERY single roster move and they try to play within those constructs. Personally, I micromanage like crazy in my franchise and that still sounds ridiculously tedious to me, but to each their own.
I'm not saying the new MLB Today mode would even work like that, but I can understand the appeal. What I do think it will be good for is all the people who like to just play the MLB Today games but also like a sense of connection to their games. It might provide some balance in that regard. Hard to say without knowing the specifics though.
