Pasta Articles on NBA Live and MLB Front Office Manager

PastaPadre has a couple of great articles up.  The first is about how NBA teams are using NBA 09 to scout other teams.  It's very interesting to say the least.  I wondered how long it would be before this happened.  In competitive sports anything that can be seen as an advantage will be used no matter what it is.  Here's the link

Pasta also posted up new info for MLB Front Office Manager.  I'm very intrigued by this game and hope it's half as good NFL Head Coach.  The feature set is very good and appears to go more in depth than either of the next gen experiences.  I've got it pre-ordered.    Here's the specs, thanks pasta for the info.
