MLB question by charlock88: How does Major League Baseball MLB create their schedules?
I know the NFL has a specific formula now that locks in which teams will play each other once the regular season ends (inter-conference play is rotated in a set pattern every year); all that remains is organizing the dates and who is visiting whom. What system does MLB use? How does MLB determine how many games a team will play another team in a season? How does MLB determine what inter-league teams will play each other each season?

Great game for the avid baseball fan.,
After having played EA Sports baseball games for a long time, I was initially disappointed when I heard they do longer had a MLB license. I’m not anymore! MLB The Show 09 is a great game. It is by far the most realistic, in depth game I’ve ever played. In fact, in terms of realism, this is the closest thing to a perfect sports game I’ve ever played. The casual fan who isn’t up to speed on all of the MLB rules regarding player transactions can have the computer completely manage the roster, finances, etc., but the avid fan has to pay close attention to the off season schedule to make sure contracts are renewed, salary arbitration is offered, etc. There is even a Rule 5 draft, and just like in real life, your team loses a draft pick if you sign an A or B free agent. It’s a great game. I highly recommend it!

|Much better than the ’07 version,
I’m not sure how different this is from the ’08 edition, but it’s much improved from 2007. The new features are really nice and add an element of realism to the franchise mode. They’ve also greatly improved the Road to the Show mode and fixed a few of those annoying control issues of previous editions.
Cool game and I’d highly recommend it to any PS2 holdovers who love baseball.
