Here's my 2008 Reds roster on the Show:
Lineup:
CF Jay Bruce
2B Brandon Phillips
RF Ken Griffey Jr.
LF Adam Dunn
3B Edwin Encarnacion
1B Joey Votto
SS Jeff Keppinger
C Javy Valentin/David Ross
Bench:
1B Scott Hatteberg
OF Ryan Freel
OF Norris Hopper
SS Alex Gonzalez
C Javy Valentin/David Ross
Rotation:
RHP Aaron Harang
RHP Bronson Arroyo
RHP Johnny Cueto
RHP Edinson Volquez
RHP Homer Bailey
Bullpen:
RHP Matt Belisle
RHP Marcus McBeth
LHP Jeremy Affeldt
RHP Josh Roenicke
LHP Bill Bray
RHP Jared Burton
RHP Francisco Cordero
So far I am 7-6.
Bruce, Cueto, and Roenicke are in the show? I thought that they didn't put the youngsters in the game. Last year Bailey wasn't on it.
If you don't mind, can you give me some of the ratings of the youngsters? Thanks.

In those things which we commit to practice we can master, and with mastery we have the freedom to use these skills whenever we desire, without this practice we are slaves to our inability.
I went to my local Best Buy yesterday to buy a PS3 and this game. They had about 100 PS3 in stock but no game. Lots of games for my Wii though... It will be interesting to see if PS3 system sales pickup with the Blue-Ray format win. That sealed the deal for me.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
The Ump is squeezing me, and my 3b can't catch a ball without a butterfly net! But I've added a 4th pitch- a cutter- and it's developing nicely.
I love RTTS! I think I'll start a second one as a catcher...

Stupid companies.
I get why Sony won't manufacture the Show for Xbox, but they could make a lot of money by making it available to the other platforms. I'm not convinced that "The Show" is an elite enough game that someone would buy a PS3 just so they could play it. I could be wrong and I'm sure it doesn't hurt someone that is on the fence.
Adrian Gonzalez hit 50 homers in '09 and Atkins had 140rbi. Bruce and Maybin are both 83 overall at age 22.
All of the pitchers are developing well and I signed Harden 94 overall over the offseason which moves Volquez to the bullpen. Gallardo is 90 overall already and Price/Bucholz and Bailey are ~82.

The Show rates Bailey as a B prospect. Are the makers RedZone members?
