I did. And liked it for a while. It's not too far from being a decent game, but its problems became unbearable (and incredibly frustrating).

I just don't understand why these developers can't take a game like Sports Mogul Baseball or OOTP and link it with these oustanding graphics engines and come up with a fantastic coach-mode/GM-mode style simulation of baseball (or football--HC was okay but still lacking, IMO).

Just throw six figures at one of these text guys to buy their program then animate a couple hundred visual displays of the results and voila.

I could live with just cpu-cpu but there really is no information if that option will be available?

Steve was playing CPU vs. CPU in some of the videos, so yes it is available.

You could just set it to CPU vs. CPU, then take control of the team when you want to call a pinch hitter, warm up a pitcher, etc. then switch it back to CPU vs. CPU.

The text based manager mode from last year is probably still in too, but I haven't heard if they've improved it or not.

that's great to see that CPU vs CPU is possible, unlike 2k8. why would the dev's remove that feature anyway. personally, that's the way I believe all video games should be tested, before release...now I'm really stoked about this game, if what you are saying is really true.

Yes, it's true. Steve OS (the guy who owns this site) has the game and made a few different videos showing the CPU vs. CPU in action.

I would like to see 2k adopt the MOM style that the Show has.

we can only hope and pray...I'm gonna pre-order my game tomorrow, since I have bunches of games to trade, including 2k7, though I may be lucky to get five bucks for it now. thanks for the info guys!

Aaaaaaaaaactually last year with 2k8, during a game it wouldn't let you switch back or forth from human/cpu control...so managing was impossible aside from choosing a lineup and starting pitcher. I played a whole 81 game season just watching the games as a GM and trust me, I can't tell you how many times I was pissed that they brought in Ross Gload to pinch hit for my NL pitchers.

Hopefully someone can confirm whether or not this game allows you to switch back and forth...
