alcoholicstepfather Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I apologize if this was covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. In MVP 2005, does the winning league of the All-Star game determine home-field advantage in the World Series? Also, does each team have to be represented in the All-Star game? I know it's a bit trivial, but I was curious how much detail the programmers from EA actually put into the game. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I think so and I doubt it. Maybe somebody else can confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickmarcusvick Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yes, the winning team gets advantage in the World Series, and every team has to be represented (i.e. Justin Ducherer from the Oakland A's was selected because everyteam had to be represented).

Spivey11 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I'm pretty sure that there is no way that every team is going to get representation in the game. With the max-roster set at 25 - it's practically impossible to represent every team in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilmer007 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Not impossible since each team has 30 Players not 25, so you have plenty of space to have each team represented. Hell if each team wasn't represented all hell would break lose with Fans and The Teams complaining and saying it's Rigged and all that stuff. The NL has 31 Players this year so my guess is that the extra player was the final vote by the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony3 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 It's in the game? :shrug: I had to cut the roster down to 25 players All teams have at least one player No replacement players will be used I kept all voted in players 9 Pitchers per team just like EA all-star teams (2004 had only 8 pitchers) Some people were cut that I would of rather had but I need at least 1 player from each team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 that was by my choice no the game does not choose one player from each team when playing a season as for home field advantage I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deacs Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 All-Star roster rules: In real life, each team will have 32 players - the 32nd player is voted by fans in the final online ballot. The positional starters are voted by fans, and the top reserve at each position is chosen by votes of players and coaches. Each team must have 12 pitchers among on its roster (including a specified minimum number of relievers, which I think is 3), and I believe at least six of those are also selected through the voting of players and coaches. The remaining reserve and pitcher spots are chosen by the managers - the ones from teams that won the pennant. However, among the manager's selections must be included one representative from every organization that did not have a player otherwise elected - and the commissioner's office has heavy influence as to which lone representatives are selected. The requirement of a representative from every team has always existed, while the player/coach voting was only recently introduced so managers like Joe Torre and Bobby Cox wouldn't fill the rosters with players from their own team (although they weren't the only culprits- Bob Brenly really offended people when he picked Junior Spivey and Damian Miller). This year's voting and selections left each manager with only one real pick of his own: Francona took Bartolo Colon (over such arguably worthy candidates as Matt Clement and Dustin Hermanson) and La Russa opted for John Smoltz (passing on the now 10-1 Matt Morris and the more-deserving-than-Rolen Morgan Ensberg). The initial selection phase left the NL with only 10 pitchers out of the necessary 12 -meaning La Russa had to choose a pitcher instead of Ensberg to bring the total to 11, so the final online ballot could bring the team to the minimum 12 (explaining why all the NL nominees are pitchers). Also, both managers declined to take deserving candidates from their own teams (Clement, Morris) with their one true selection, in my opinion to avoid the favoritism complaints that led to the player/coach voting in the first place. As for in the game, it appears neither the WS home-field or the every-team-represented rules ar incorporated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolliefingers08 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 yes, we know what the mlb all star rules are. thanks for repeating them for the 3rd or 4th time though. i'm pretty sure the winning league in the all star game IN MVP is the home team in the world series. a friend told me that his team had a weaker record than his opponenet in the WS, but still was home because of the all star game.

sonickim Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I've just finished my first season, I won the all-star and even got the mvp for the game, but in the world series, the AL team had the home field. Also, in the All star game, there were 6 players from St Louis and none for Arizona, Pirates, Washington and Brewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 My all-star game went the other way as BJ Ryan blew a save for the AL in the 7th or 8th (I'm pretty sure it was the 7th) to lose the game for the AL.. so the NL will get home field advatange if this is true.. I am using the Jays by the way and am in mid. August right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
