    ok that makes sense. The best thing about TCBL is just that, if you want to load up on a specific type of player, its up to you. Some of our veteran members have play styles we are aware of...

    Ry is focused on his pitching staff, MG likes to trade big name for skillful youth. I like fast good fielders. SNG likes power and diddy is very strategic in who he brings in because of his balance.

    TSO Name: BigSmooth33
    AIM or SKYPE?: Both... AIM = B1GSmooth33
    Availability: M-F from about 6 PM CST - 11 PM CST, weekends very flexible
    Other Leagues in: Sim Nation and The Pride (NCAA 12) and TFL:Serie C (FIFA 12)
    What do you like about the Show?: Everything...
    Why you want to be in TCBL: You've got a great group that ran with 11 and running into 12 should even be better... I've been in almost every league that's tried to get going here in TSO with the Show and they've never seemed to take off. I love the game more than any other sports game out there and just want the ability to stick with a bunch of guys that love the game as much as I do.
    What would you like to see in an the Show Online Franchise League?: Tough to say... I haven't played around with the NBA 2K12 franchise stuff, but I think having the ability to manage free agency, minor league systems, and all the stuff that comes with the offline franchise. But realistically, if we got half of the offline stuff that'd be a great start.
    Questions about TCBL MLB 12 plans?: I'm sure I'll bother you with tons, but none right now.

    Top 3 Teams:
    1. Detroit Tigers
    2. Detroit Tigers
    3. Detroit Tigers
    4. Cincinnati Reds
    5. Milwaukee Brewers or Pittsburgh Pirates... Not really sure which... Leaning Pirates...

    What do you like about the Show?: Game PLay, last year with PSN being down for so long i had a lot of fun just playing franchise mode offline.
    Why you want to be in TCBL: As much fun as playing and building your team against cpu can be, nothing beats playing against other users
    What would you like to see in an the Show Online Franchise League?: Quality type of progression system, so its worth getting young talent. Baseball is all about selling big ticket players to the big market teams, all the prospects you get in return you develop them and sell them again.

    TSO Name: Blackattack87
    AIM or SKYPE?: Neither
    Availability: Pretty available. I only work 10 days of the month
    Other Leagues in: My buddies and I play a franchise where we just send the file back and forth and meet to play the head to head.
    What do you like about the Show?: Everything! Best game ever. I was playing sim baseball since its inception with Microleague Baseball on the Commodore 64. So just dated myself! Its amazing how good the show is. I love the in depthness of it. Why you want to be in TCBL: I want to be in this league because the only thing lacking in The Show is the true online franchise dynasty like NCAA. Glaring oversight, and this is where this league comes in. Its perfect. I will be committed to this because I know its taking a lot for the guys on the other end to put this together and I appreciate that.
    What would you like to see in an the Show Online Franchise League?: Just what you can do offline. BUt with the addition of OOTP for the minors, wow!
    Questions about TCBL MLB 12 plans?: Im assuming we are just taking over teams? as a fantasy draft would be near impossible to do.

    Great to have you Black!

    I used to pass the file back on ps2 memory card, so much fun. Its great to find guys that love the show as much as us. I play the game year round and am still enjoying 11 right now. very excited for 12. We will be doing a team draft on March 3rd where you will essentially become the GM for your organization of choice.
