A little work...but it will all be laid out for you. M.K. Knight165

Would it be possible to save and distribute a saved franchise, rather than just a roster to work around this?

I guess you probably choose a team first though, so probably not

after 103 games finally saw a routine fly dropped by Ibanez. he was camped under it too
Can't believe how many little things are coded.
AWESOME devs!!

I had something I came across the other day that I really hated, once again, hopefully this is all fixed in the full version, but in the full version of 08 (and versions prior) I saw the same thing. Balls going through fielders, they don't even try to catch it. This was the difference between a double and a single, I ended up losing this game because of the runner on second.

Wow we must be playing a different demo. I see it happen a lot. To me and the CPU.

Yeah...it was from a few years ago..and they just never changed it.
Beggin'....money....visits from Score's girls....they just can't be bought
But I see light at the end of the tunnel next year......
We'll see when the time rolls around!

...and yes, I'd have to choose a team first with no way to change it...so if you want TOTAL real minors....there will have to be some editing on your part. Sorry....it's just about 30 guys though.

Those are some nice looking graphics.

Yea it seems like the ball parks arnt big enough I mean maybe its me but they seem smaller or the ball isnt traveling off the bat fast enough...

Well in real life there arnt to many times where the ball is hit over the OF head since they are MLB players and they can take AMAZING routes to the ball
