Using McGwire's record and Ruth's record have both contributed to 2K failing Sony certification in the past, because they were "bugs". Obviously, that was not the only reason the game failed, but they were actually in the reports. Kind of silly. So I suspect this year instead of dealing with that nonsense, the decision was made to leave it out all together and not waste anyone's time.

I'm not sure if franchise will recognize it. I would think so, but I really have no idea.

[ehh]

It couldn't be in there as John Dowd or whatever his fabricated name was in the past?

thanks for the pics of the create a player!! I love the addition of the style of top button. Alot of guys, including myself, wear a jersey with the top button undone! Great job!!

Steve, if it's not too much to ask, I was wondering if you could let me know how many faces, signature stances, and generic stances there are in this game. The faces one is easy, because you can just press Left from the first face and you'll get the highest number. Last year it was a miserable 29.

As for stances, I know that's a bit of a chore (toggling and counting), but I was just curious as to what number of stances we were looking at for this year. But I'm almost more interested in the number of generic stances, mostly because I want to know if we'll get any variation for the young stars (rookies, minor league players, etc).

Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

You can't count that in the CAP menu, at least in 2K7, because some of the sig-style batting stances were not available to CAPs for some very odd reason.

Can you change the name of a real MLB player and they will say the name and not the number. Also the PA annoucer will say the edited name and the not the MLB player name.

The remaining question is how robust are the editable playlists that we see (only Default and Sample are listed). Steve, is there any possibility you could look into the stadium beats/playlist editor?? TIA My guess is player specific walk-up music didn't make the cut, but Stadium beats did. I would be happy with only Stadium beats for this year as long as they bring player specific walk-up music back next year. It's one of the few things I loved from 2k5.

OK, first of all, I can't figure out how to get music on the debug 360 to test it out. But it sure looks like if you have some music on the HD, you'd be able to use it. I mean, right now, since my drive is basically empty, there is only "Default Playlist and Sample Playlist". But there are quite a few empty spaces underneath, making me lean to saying you can grab music off the hard drive. But again, I can't test it, unless I can figure out how to get music files on this thing.

For stadiums, you can select beats for solo homerun, 2-run homer, 3-run homer, grand slam, Top of inning over, end of game, between pitch(H) and (A), batter over, batter intro (H) and (A), single, double, triple, walk, action replays, home run derby, pause, pitcher intro (H) and (A), game intro and bottom of inning over.

For players, it claims when you set the beat for the batter, it overrides the songs in the stadium beats, again making it seem like you can pull music from the HD.

So, to put it bluntly... I don't know exactly what you can or can't do here. Sorry. But if I find a way to import music to this debug, I'll check back in.

The hitting felt nothing like it did in a game and the measurements were off badly, so does it feel more like a game or natural feel or is it like last year and noneffiecent with the game?

Measurements seem about right, but the actual home run derby is pretty stale.
