Can we edit cpu teams line ups, do the cpu set lineups realisticly, how are the sim stat? Im on a budget so I cant just gamble and buy this game....renting is not an option

I am guessing since the game has only been out for one day that most people have not had time to get too far along in a franchise.

I'd say because people are going way overboard in trying to critique the game as "unplayable", "atrocious", "an abomination", etc. Those are ridiculous over the top statements that some feel they have to make because they can't properly articulate a view - they only know to choose between one extreme or the other. That's why you see the blowback, because some are trying to characterize the game in such a negative light it sounds ridiculous. And it's almost like the feelings border on hatred, like the game can only be considered a complete failure if it isn't as good as The Show.

Personally, I don't know if people are "returning the game in droves" or not - but I'd think consumers would have at least a *little* more sense when buying a product. There's plenty of information and videos out there, and it's not like the game completely misrepresents what we've seen or heard. But that's what some would lead you to believe and it's sickening. The game is so horrid that some would return a game hours after it released to get less than half it's value? That it's "completely unplayable"? And trying to characterize it as "most" people feeling that way? Just way too over the top imo

I miss the broadcast style cams for batter walkups. I don't like the floating camera each batter walkup seems to have. I want a broadcast feel when I play.

Is anyone else having a problem with the batter's eye? Everytime I guess a pitch correctly, it doesn't show up on the screen. Anyone else having this problem?

Help?

I get your point, but I dont think you have to be that far into a franchise to answer those questions.....As for the sim stats I would think someone would sim a season to confirm if those stats we saw from that beta franchise pics, which had a low amount of K's for a pitcher and a LF having 200+ asst...Maybe im asking for too much.......

What wasn't called for? The real question that was implied - i.e., why is renting not an option? - or the playful way I phrased it? Either way, I'd say saying what I posted wasn't called for wasn't called for. Or are you one of those guys who needs smilies in a post in order to understand that almost nothing related to video games is "serious"?
