They already have awesome voice actors announcing their football games. Just have them do the baseball games too.

Thanks for the impressions.

Now, the lack of spring training is too bad, but in some 2K games, you can export your roster to exhibition mode and other modes. If this is possible then it won't make spring training as important, because you could test your young guys and new talent in the other modes. Any word on whether this is possible in MLB 2K8, as it is in NBA 2K8, and some others?

Thats great as long as i have a chance to do it before the game

great question...i wonder that too since i didnt really like what i see from the videos.

That's weak that you can't edit CPU teams Lineups and Rotations, even with the "control all 30 teams" option. I guess that's just call-ups and send-downs?

I know for a fact that regardless of that option you can alter the CPU's lineup and pitcher before every game. So, at least the games you play against the CPU you can set their lineup however you like.

Ugh why can't we get a straight answer on bat sounds?

I hear ya man. It seems like no one can give us a straight answer. When Brinkman was asked about it he acted like "oh there is a problem with the bat sounds, news to me"
