I'm running a Samsung HDTV. I believe it's the main tv for XBox gaming, so it's definitely not an issue with the tv.

The computer won't stop spraying the field! I've been mainly up the middle, but I haven't really tried hitting down the lines.

Playing on the out of the box settings. Pro I believe?

Right now, it's 9-5 Tampa, against myself, Seattle; in the 7th.

9 runs on 19 hits for TB. 7 hits for 5 runs for myself. Kazmir for 5 Ks, and Hernandez for 4.

Realistic so far.

Some are the same, but there's some that are really, really good. Noticed one on a line drive that hit the pitcher, and replayed it to hear it again.

Yep, there's A TON, and I mean A TON of custom soundtracks available, for basically everything. Between innings, home runs, in between pitches, etc., etc., etc.

Hey Kiz,
Thanks for everything,
QUestion- With the new throwing meter, does it seem like the players "lolligag" throws like they did in 2k7 where even in important plays they barely threw the ball to the base or cahrged the ball and unloaded it quickly? Also can you adjust how fast and "on a line" the throws can be?

Yes, can we verify custom soundtracks (batter walkup/pitcher/stadium) in the final build?

If you want to throw it hard, pull the analog hard to the edge, and it'll throw hard, and fast. Didn't see anything in the sliders for adjusting.
