Still playing w/ them. Only adjust foul balls and balls. Not quite there yet...but they seem to be more effective this year, at least.

Steve,

I would REALLY appreciate it if you can answer this...

Please play a game at the Jake and let me know just 3 things....

1.) If you do go deep- do you in fact hear a siren? Ben did not know this.

2.) How does John sound in the stands with the famous drum?

3.) How many " real " players are on the Buffalo AAA team?

Steve~ thank you so much for taking the time to answer us on these questions! This is truly the best forum there is on the net!

Nope, it's the same. Basic situation setups.

Steve,

Forgive me if this is too general a question, but here it goes... does it play an overall solid, realistic, and fun brand of baseball? In otherwords... can you see someone enjoying a full 162 game season without throwing their hands up in frustration with game 'issues' 40 games in?

Do the retractable roofs work like Minute Maid Park?

I'm guessing you meant OF's throwing into the IF...Not seeing that at all. You throw, when you want to throw.

LOL, they run fine to me.

with the new throwing mechanics, it seems you can only throw to the bases. Can you still throw directly to the cut off man or do you have to hit something while the ball is on its way in from the outfield. Thanks again
