Maybe I am missing the boat on this guys, but I do not see what the big difference with points as opposed to dollars is - as long as it feels realistic. To me there is little difference between a player asking for 2 million dollars or 2 million points.

The bigger concern I have with major league license restrictions is what will happen to historical play? Will major league baseball restrict the use of things like the Lahman database (which I assume is in no way associated with MLB). That to me is the far bigger arguement over major league licensing.

If it is not an issue and the only compromise we have is points vs dollars (and we are all just speculating that any proposed MLB license will prohibt the use of dollars) I do not see what the big deal is. Let's face it. The bottom line is a game with major league licensing will sell better than one without. I am not talking about us, the hardcore crowd but more the casual fan who stumbles upon this game down the road.

The more copies OOTP-SI or whatever it is going to be called sells, the more money Markus and company make which hopefully a good portion of which is invested back into the game in terms of both time and additional talent which in turn means a better product for all of us.
