I'm not sure how else to put this so it makes sense so I'll just say it the way I've always heard it. No video game knows names. They only know ratings and numbers. 2k or The Show, for example, don't know who Papelbon is or what he's done. They don't know that Francona has a slow hook (though this is something I would love to see be implemented in future games. Managers with ratings). All they know is that it's a close game the best hitter in the lineup is up and the closer is warm and ready to enter the game. Enter closer to shut the thing down. And someone can sue me later for not using commas where needed or question marks to end an interrogative statement.

he was taking a shot at me because i challenged his post....the audacity of me


i said paps would be more likely to face holiday than okijima and i reminded him of the bomb oki gave up in the WS

he took exception to me and my opinion

Group me with the ones who liked most of what they saw. Sure the game will have some flaws (and please someone list me one sports game that does not have flaws cause I would love to pick that one up) but so far none of them scream GAME KILLER! Thanks for the explanation on the fly ball that makes me stoked when playing the OF. Heres hoping theres no massive franchise bug or freezing issue (especially with 2Ksports history) that itll take months to patch and turn so many of us 360 people dying for a baseball fix off.

See, reading stuff like this really gets me excited for this game. It won't be perfect, but it should be much better than last year's game, especially with all the new mechanics/features in the game.

This game might just be alittle too hard for me to play.

They have all the options to go back to the simple controls in case it's too hard

Small "glitch" I picked up but nothing big. Willy taveras comes up to bat in the 7th and his batting gloves are in his back pocket but he's also wearing them.

That is cool, I will try them. I still don't like the swing animation. Maybe next year they will fix all that for the graphics whores like me.
