Not seeing it... I could be overlooking it though.

Steve can you answer my question. What would you rate this game since the show got and 8.7 at IGN? How about the presentation can you gives us alittle more on that?

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! Tribeking

1. Never heard a siren, as I grooved a few fastballs for Fielder.

2. Not much of a Brewer fan, so I actually have no idea

3. AAA team names, I don't know. Here are a few names.
CF Crain
SS Rivas
LF Francisco
3B Dudley
DH Choo
2B Astacio
1B Murphy
RF Schroder
C Heiner

It's too early to tell, but I can tell you that it feels much better than 2K7 ever did.

It must be always open, because you can't select rain in the weather options w/ that park.

How does the swing stick feel in regard to realism? Like MVP NCAA had the swing stick and it was a lot more fun then the 2K swing stick...

hitting behind pitcher is it possible?
