You guys need to setup your mini-avatar.

My only question: does it still rain in domed stadiums?

How is that?

Any problems with the computer lineups?

They are a bit similar, but you can tell the difference. It's better than last year, anyways.

Thanks for the quick write-up Steve. Question, how does the NEW Lighting Engine look? Does it seem more tone-down than last years

I can't find the option in an exhibition game to change the weather. I haven't seen it rain in dome stadiums, but I don't know if it's supposed to be or not. But so far, no rain in domes.

It definitely feels better than 2K7. Batting seems more responsive and I am really loving the pitching interface.
