And everything else appeared to be functional in the game I saw, so I don't think this is something they would have merely left out of the copy they showed me.

Thanks a ton for putting up these impressions. I think the above quote gives us hope. I got the impression that the pre-game screen is where we're allowed to edit the CPU lineup and rotation. If that's the case, it makes sense that you didn't see it in any of the other franchise screens.

When you dive for a ball, do you have to time it? Or do you just flick the stick when it says to, and wait to dive?

Yes, you have to time it now. More about that in the writeup.

so are they the same bat sounds from the trailer?

I don't know if you can do this in '08, but someone with '07 could probably check it out. In the pre-game screen for dynasty mode, could you control both teams with different controllers? That way you could edit the CPU lineup and then just switch one controller back to the middle when the game starts. At least that would solve the problem.

I see you said no co-op, what exactly do you mean by this? Does that mean I can't play against someone sitting next to me? If so that'd suck.

[TheLetterZ]

It means you can't play on the same team as a friend the way you can in The BIGS.
