[belljr]

Excuse me if this has been answered - I did a search of the thread and did not see it dorectly answered.

1) How is the hit variety - please tell me it's "fixed"

2) If you miss with a pitch is it auto HR?

3) Is baserunning Ai better for the CPU?

Steve has the beta not retail copy. A lot of times things in beta do not make it to retail. Unless I'm wrong and Steve has the retail....
I'm sure it's probably there..just want to make sure.

I guess your right. We haven't had a confirmation from the retail version if Ripping off your HDD is in the game

I read this exactly the way it reads:

Custom Music for players, pitchers.

STADIUM BEATS for all other senarios, this means the ones that are in the game. Just like last year.

This is great....
But can you check one thing.
When going to play a game in franchise...can you set the opposing teams lineup?
OR...
Is there somewhere to set ALL the teams lineups somewhere before you go into a game in franchise?
I ask because I'm not sure what you mean in your quote....if it just means editing the players.....moving players around....setting pitch rotations and lineups or all three.

Thanks.

It's quite easy actually. If it works like NHL 2K8 then all you have to do is rip a song or songs and then they will be saved under music.

Now, go there and you will see the song under artist. Go and select the song and PLAY it.

Then save the song as a PLAYLIST. The game will only recognize "PLAYLIST" and then insert.

I know I'm being a little "precise" but we still don't if we can use our own music or not, Unless I missed a post that said so. If I did then I'm sorry! I just want clarification that it did make it from beta to retail before I get all excited..

It wouldn't make sense if they just let us use songs from the games soundtrack.
