And it is commonplace to see the best team ERA hovering around 5.00 with other teams ranking around 7.00-8.00. It's immensely frustrating and hopefully will be fixed this year.

Maybe that's how the future of the MLB will be?
People screamed that the Red Sox were too good in this years version when it came out.
SCEA predicts the future....embrace it.

As my signature indicates, I'm thrilled about this!

Will we have a TRUE online franchise mode in OOTP 14, and will it work with this sort of career import?

This could replace the text sim.

I'd imagine all sim engines would be much more accurate on the new consoles if the developers cared to make them so.

He does raise an interesting question as far as how retired players will be ported over to the next game even tho they are no longer in the MLBPA. I also wonder how real life free agents, trades, releases, etc., will be handled.

I'm pretty sure it's going to go off your PREVIOUS game save file....which will have the "roster" with it. Just like from year to year now.....it's not looking for a new default roster to start. The new version will likely just convert the entire save file(rosters/sliders/coaches...etc) to the new version.

In NCAA Football, you could save your player and then use it in Madden. Probably the same thing, but with a larger, larger, larger database
