It's good to see someone with the guts to challenge the status quo in the NL Central (and switching the Cubs and the Astros in the standings doesn't count). I'm obviously not objective about this, but the Reds improved more than any other team in that division, adding Eric Milton, Ramon Ortiz, Joe Randa, Rich Aurilia, Kent Mercker, Dave Weathers, and Ben Weber, while losing only Barry Larkin and Todd Jones. Not Murderers' Row, I'll admit, but short of a "King Ralph"-type situation, they won't have any more injuries than they had last year.

This team was in first place as late as June 10th, and was six games over .500 at the ASB, before Griffey and Kearns were lost for the season. The only players with career years last year were Adam Dunn, who will probably repeat it, and Ryan Freel, who hopefully won't get the opportunity to.

The Reds finished 13 games behind the Cubs and 16 games behind the Astros last year. They won't win the division, but I believe the two large-market teams in the Central may be looking over their shoulders quite a bit this year.

i think the astros are aging quickly
also berkman out two months will be a killer

I didn't know about all the additions they made. I miss Baseball Tonight SOOOOOOO bad.

No way! When is it on? I wanna see it! I wanna see it! I wanna see it! I wanna see it!

Baseball Mogul Predictions

I like it. Is that from somewhere or did you guys just make it up?

They did the same last year, I believe what they did was they used the Simulation mode and simulated through 100 (probably more) seasons. This is what they came out with. Also at the very bottom, I noticed that you guys are working on a FBM2k6 which i'm not exactly happy about. You seem to do so much better with Baseball Mogul, and seem to give the customers buying BBM a lot more attention. I've bought both 2k3 and 2k5, and I only saw maybe 20 people in the Football forums, tops. If it was my opinion, I'd say scratch the project, theres just not that much popularity with it.

my honest opinion is that baseball is the best sport to do a sim with because Stats count the most, actually stats is Baseball.

with football, there are a lot of intangables, like if you have a linebacker who hits really hard, maybe the running back will run a different way....maybe get less yards, you cant really messure that in Stats accurately....also football is more physical than any other game...

that is why i will probably never buy another football mogul again, I will wait for my Madden.

I think that the 2nd best game for stats is Basketball, or even a college basketball sim....

with hockey i really dont know much about the sport only that it is fun to watch.

Being a chronic Red Wings fan, and having played hockey, I know for a fact that hockey is very physical, but it's still measurable in stats.
