I agree it had a rich stadium sound. I enjoyed it.

I'm planing to add old time players name rank and serial number in the Music walk up slot and if that echo sound was offered, that would be perfect.

Kolbe you scared Jim off now he's going to hide his "Pretty Head" under that colorful but practical hat of his.

It is really easy to use though and it works nicely if you want to record a line in our out as well. I've used it to record old cassette tapes. Speaking of which, I need to go back and finish up recording the tape I have of the 1964 NFL Championship that the Browns won and is the last major sports title in Cleveland.

Yeah I posted it here as well...

I am not huge into this, but all the people I know who do mess with this stuff, swears by these two free programs.

Ya I had to edit my team in season mode( the mets...don't ask why hehe) by lowering all sorts of contact edits that it made it more of a task than a game. And basically i played 08 using ONE team only coz I didn't feel like editing the whole 30 teams.

I rarely got games where I got pissed and frustrated by the opposing pitcher. I want that feeling some games where I face a pitcher and not necessarily a hamels or a santana type where I just can't hit. It'll make the games where we explode for 16 hits 4 HRs 10 runs that MUCH more satisfying.

That's why this legendary difficulty has the potential to make this game just perfect for me. Hopefully it does, so I won't be bothered by editing a whole team.

P.S- My season team this year will be the world F'n champions.....have never used them in season mode believe it or not....have used the mets or Padres since triple play days.

Are we going to see some brothers behind the plate this year? Minor I know, but would like to see more variety amongst the umpire crew

LOL, I never even noticed that. Are there really no black umps in the game?

[jim416]

There is. Same umps appear on checked swings, one black, one white.

I really doubt something like this would have been added although people seem confident that it is because of the fans wearing the specific clothing. I don't know, with all of the stuff they added this year, I really don't think there is a chance this got in. Of course, I know nothing and could be completely wrong!

i know u would probably be able to just skip by pressing a button but i wanted to know how many of you would actually sit through it. i mean people on here have been wanting rain delays so bad i wanted to know will u guys actually wait until the game itself resumes play. whether it be 5 or 25 minutes.

Actually the only black umpire was at first..... I nicknamed him "Woody"

The umpire at 3rd is an old white guy that I nicknamed "Pops"


"Woody" was pretty accurate on appeals on check swings but "Pops" was a total jerk on appeals and almost always rung me up....I'm glad he will be gone
