Another small detail that I find incredible is that the crowd actually reacts to the on field action and not just by getting louder. For example, there was a big situation with Utley at the plate and 2-outs...I struck him out and as I watched the folks in the crowd they each reacted differently. One woman who was standing grabbed her head and turned and said something to the woman next to her...another guy sat down and slumped in his seat shaking his head while yet another guy was giving Utley the business. I think the crowd this year really pushes this game visually from very good to surreal.

I agree the crowd is incredible in this year's game. By far the best crowd I've ever seen in a video game. It really draws you into the game even more.

I think it's because the game is in philly.....

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but, since I'm more of a watcher/manager type it would be a cool feature to have a camera that you could set up and watch the game from anywhere in the park.
Example if you were a real season ticket holder you could watch your games from that perspective.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before..

ahhh...is there anything better than shutting up the crowd with a big time strikeout?

ADA885 · 02-08-2009, 01:18 PM

Hopefully it's fixed in the final build, but did anyone notice Philly's pitching coach has a black face and white hands?

I've hit two balls off the wrists and both have gone opposite field just over the infielders heads. Love that.

Been experimenting with the sliders and from what I see, they work fine.

Ok a couple questions since I am downloading the demo and haven't played it yet.

1. I take it that it is a true zone hitting system this year. Correct? One of my biggest issues with 08 was the hitting was too easy no matter what sliders I used.

2. Is the pitching a little more challenging with the meter this year?
