    Well for PS3 owners MLB The Show 09 is actually going to have 90-100% of the off season stuff this game has, plus it will have the regular great baseball action that you can actually play as well.


    Both EA and 2K need to take all of the stuff they are doing in these coaching simulators for football and baseball respectively and just put them in the exclusive license games. Maybe then they would be worth buying.

    @MSUHitman: That would be smart, but then again EA seems hell bent on removing things from Madden, so if anyone figures this out first, I'd expect it to be 2K.


    I actually play NFL Head Coach 09(!), and while it's enjoyable for me, it's too niche to sell well, too boring for most fans on its own, and franchise modes in the regular games are too bare bones for me nowadays. They should find a way to combine the two, make the Head Coach/GM part optional. And yeah, The Show should be pretty awesome.

    @shea_guevara: Two types of reactions to this:


    1. Casual Cubs fan = "Who?"

    2. Serious Cubs fan = "Why?"


    I'll put myself in category #2

    the baseball stat-heads out there will jump at the chance to impersonate Beane instead of the more common video game proposition of taking on the role of big league players

    You know they're officially out of ideas when they're turning pointless "business management" exercises from a middle school talented-and-gifted program into video games.

    If there's one current player I'm pretty sure will never make it to the front office after he retires it's Bobby Abreu.

    By bringing in Beane as the game's celebrity spokesperson


    Mock this all you like but Steve Phillips think it is a fabulous move.
