How is money going to be used in 08? I know you can buy bigger houses and cars, buy hobbie equipment, but I am wondering more about the Minors/success mode.

In 07 we used money for dating, buy equipment to learn new abilites, for gambling tickets (don't even know if there will be gambling), items to improve practice and so forth. I have never heard of a Minor League player having a part-time job so if we don't work is money even going to be an issue untill you reach the Majors?

Actually, The minor league players I've talked to did have part time jobs. Only top picks don't because they're the only one getting the big bonuses. I assume it will be more of the same, earning money from work, buying equipment and paying for dates and things like that.

I'm sure it will probably have to-do with some sort of monthly pay along with the chance to raise your pay by playing well each year or every couple of teams

thats all I can think of

I can't remember where I heard this but there is one minor league team that when a player hits a home run he touches 'em all runs to the backstop and the fans slip bills through the screen for the player! I wish I could remember which team it was.

That's a cool idea but it would suck if your not a power hitter!
