Just the Penguins, yo. I hate the fuckin' Stillers. The Pirates are merely here to be pitied.

Been a Braves fan ever since I started cheering for them to beat Barry and Bobby Bo back in the early 90's... then I moved to Atlanta and went to about 15 games a year for six years at Turner Field. Braves count. Mark it eight, dude.

I'd be in as the Tigers... Honestly I'm not sure what kind of schedule I could stick to though.

I'm in with the Cubs

I'm up for trying this - White Sox for me.

Is there a list on what the goals are?

This will be my first baseball game since bases loaded for NES

I still have GC for GS, so I will pre order it for sure

Do we all have to be in each others friends list or is there another way we can start a league and get everyone on here in? I have never done a league with The Show as last year was the first time I bought it and played.

We shouldn't have to be on a friends' list. I wouldn't think anyway. In NHL10 someone sets up a private league and sends out the password. Teams join, pick their teams.

I'm in and I'll take the Astros.

I may be interested, but I'll be completely new to the game, as I'm finally deciding to get it for the first time this year. I hope you can wait a few weeks, because I may not have it the first day (I'd rather not pay extra for release date shipping from Amazon). Since the Cardinals are taken, I'd like the Rays, but if someone else is a big fan I'll take another team.

It can be achieved by achieving Platinum status on the game, which means unlocking all of the game trophies.

I might be interested, pending the details. Cleveland Indians for me.

absolutely cant wait for this! glad they put in some new features too

The only thing that drives me crazy about The Show is lacking the ability to change the franchise length from 162 games. I simply don't have time to knock out one season, let alone a bunch at 162 games. I've tried to find out if they changed that option but struck out, has anybody else heard anything?

No reviews yet?

Ok, I'm back after having to go through a fiasco with getting my Sony RPTV repaired and you can read about it in the DVD & Home Theater Gear forum. I will go ahead and setup the league as soon as my copy arrives from Amazon and it should on the release date. Any suggestions on season length? I'm hoping to keep it a rather short but sweet season allowing us to at least play the other players in the same league at least once but not have to play the entire 162 game season. Let me know.

Yea, I'm surprised by this.

Is the league starting as soon as the game comes out? I'm only asking because this will be the first time I have played The Show and I would like a little time to at least get the new (to me) control scheme down.

After seeing that Target and Fry's weren't going to have a special deal on this, and since their prices are crap, I ended up pre-ordering it at Amazon.

At least I'll get the stadiums before getting Platinum...

I was thinking that we could wait a week or so after release and then start the league. We could all just report back here and come to a consensus on the start date. I was thinking somewhere in the middle of March.

Had $75 in Reward Zone money, so just pre-ordered with instore pickup on Best Buy.com to get the extra downloadable ballparks. Cannot wait!

Since the Indians, Cubs and Tigers have been taken, I'll take the Reds.

As of this post, the following teams have been claimed:

Atlanta Braves: jdpatri
Chicago Cubs: rocketsauce
Chicago White Sox: Bunkaroo
Cincinnati Reds: zekeburger1979
Detroit Tigers: Rob V
Cleveland Indians: NickCrush (shakes my fist at him.)
Houston Astros: JBR52
St. Louis Cardinals: das shea
Tampa Bay Rays: Drexl

So how does the league work? Do we have to coordinate times to be online?(sorry for the noobness of my questions - I haven't played online much).

I was under the impression the extra parks were exclusive to Amazon and Game Stop. Best Buy offers it also?

This comes out on Tuesday and still no reviews? I hope that's not a bad thing.

Yep, but it appears to be online only.
