Will never and should never happen.

I think it won't happen because of the legal trouble you have to go through and the only reason why it shouldn't happen is because of the jack up in price that will result.

I don't see anything wrong with having actual player names and logos.

Because among things getting an MLBPA license entails is removing financial aspects from the game, among other things they do that'd make OOTP worse for it. We've got the Lahman database, what the hell else do you want?

It doesn't need an MLB license because we can just customize the game to have all the players anyway

MLB will need to get a license from Markus when humanity finally realizes that they've been looking at the universe completely backwards for all of eternity.

OOTP is real. Reality is fake.

They have found a way to get OOTP in stores so users can purchase the CD.

i have to admit i am beginning to enjoy the jennie fitch avatar.

i have used my new wireless network to go over the air and divine the "secret," and it happens to be: a 50% off coupon for a 6-pack of Warsteiner Oktoberfest.

High Heat 2004 is MLB Licensed and they have a financial system in the upcoming release. I don't think there's anything really wrong with that series at all.

Understand that I'm not complaining here. I simply wouldn't care if it was MLB licensed but realize that it probably won't happen because of all the crap that would have to be done.

Where is SmoothLikeNick to tell you guys you need more time out in the sun?

But do they have a financial system with real dollars and not "points" that only vaguely translate to dollars?
