Oh okay, we never use normal here at OS so that will hopefully go away when we get to All Star or Legend (MVP).

Awesome.. sounds like it will be a lot of fun online

Someone else has asked, but I didn't see an answer so I'll ask as well. Can someone post a list of the Minor League stadiums in the game? While it's of no consequence to most, there are at least a few of us who would enjoy the option of playing as the home town team in a relatively authentic ballpark. I'll be playing with the Cubs more often than not, but it would be kinda cool to play with the OKC Redhawks @ the Bricktown Ballpark. Thanks in advance

Are you able to lift low pitches and hit high pitches on the ground at times or will contact on a low pitch always result in hitting the ball on the ground? Can you tell that you now have more "room" for contact being that they expanded the # of frames available for contact? I know you're seeing more hit variety, can you go into a little detail? Choppers, line drives, any balls hit ove OF's heads? Any hits down the lines? How are the check swings? How is bunting (sacraficing and bunting for hits)? Thanks!

I use classic hitting (not the swing stick) and you have a good influence on how you hit. Very similar to MVP where you press up on the L stick for a fly ball. Bunting is fine and no problems bunting for a hit.

Haven't noticed HR's being too easy. Default setting is "PRO" but I am on "ALL STAR"

Damn, no baseball game can be played online this year. What a shame . . .

With classic hitting is there practice swings?
