Whoa!!!! MLB09 Franchise Update

If you have any interest at all, you'll read this blog post about the franchise mode of MLB09 at the Official Playstation Blog.

The MLB series is THE best reason to own a PS3 and it appears that they've taken everything we've ever dreamed of having in a baseball game and put it in there. I can easily see myself playing this till the next MLB comes out. SCEA flat out knows what they're doing when it comes to baseball.

Here's a short list of some of the stuff that SCEA has added

• The 15th day of the offseason marks the end of exclusive free agent negotiating.
• November 20th is the final day to align your 40-man roster in order to protect your players from the Rule 5 draft.
• December 1st is the final day to offer arbitration to eligible players, or to offer any Type A or Type B free agent compensation.
• December 7th is the deadline for any free agents offered arbitration to accept or decline the offer. If a player accepts the offer, they will go back on your roster. If they decline, they will become a free agent and are allowed to sign with any team.
• Between 12/5 and 12/12, the Rule 5 Draft takes place.
• December 12th is the deadline to tender contracts to players or they will become free agents.
  Arbitration hearings take place in early February.
• After 2/15, any player with less than 3 years can have their contract renewed if they remain unsigned.

I simply cannot wait for this release.
