cb Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I noticed that the Rangers have 2 of their A-Ball affiliates in the game. Both the Blaze and the Indians are on there. Could this mean that there are 2 A-Ball affiliates for each team or do you think EA screwed up big time? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Indians? The Brewers have a minor league team called the Indianapolis Indians, perhaps its them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Dub Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yea it looks like they forgot 2 teams. I guess we will find out when we get it. There may have been a screen for the other two? I dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Dub Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 They should have the lumberkings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 If they had the LumberKings, then Texas would still have 2 teams. The 3 A-Ball affiliates for the Rangers are the Blaze, Indians, and Lumberkings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGoOakland Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I believe the Indians you saw were the Kinston Indians (Cleveland affiliate). Official site: http://www.kinstonindians.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseknucks Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Is it true they're going to have REAL minor league teams this year?! God, I hope so. Makes trades a LOT easier. If not will someone mod it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ya, I heard it on the EA boards. I think it has something to do with baseball america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseknucks Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 It should be that way cause it's EA's last baseball game including REAL players and teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 "The hardest thing for me is the names, and every year, I think, 'Well, we've already done the names,' " said Kuiper. "Then we found out we're doing Triple-A and Double-A players, and now we're doing all the minor leagues. If we start to do the Japan League, I'm in big trouble."

five Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Where is the minor league video????? I have a link to it at the home page. It's the minor league ign video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastasports1 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hmm... Maybe they are recording the names of the fake players...because I don't think they would throw in Krukow and Kuiper as real players, but probably as names to fake players.

Yeah... that concerned me as well when I read that. I'm glad they appreciate their work over the years enough to put their likenesses in the game, but it certainly takes away from the realism. Maybe the rest of the players are real people?!?! OH well... some of us will find out for sure in a couple of days I guess. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Z. Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I am wondering if the minor league players names were recorded in case they make the majors and therefore the players name could be announced if and when they are promoted. i remember that last year there were several players from the photo/audio list that were AA players that never made it to the majors and therefore were never created for any of the patches.

Maybe, but hopefully they are doing every player andhave all the real players at the beginning of the year. You never really know who is going to make the MLB team in a given year.

I think that is why they record the names so when a player does make the team the audio id is already on the game and the player can be added to the patch. i hope that all the players, majors through minors will be on the roster but i have doubts.

D.M.Z. Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I'm not sure of the reasoning from the creators at EA, my guess is that some of the players will make it and those players will then have audio when they are at the plate or in the field.
