I'll need to look into what you're referring to. I know there was the split-screen Home Run Derby game (forget what it was called), but I don't recall anything with targets.

You should really look into Triple Play, though. I need to see if I still own those PSX games or if they are in the PSN store, they were really fun to play.

For some reason I thought that was in the NCAA game, no? It was pretty fun trying to hit the moving cart though!

Make it 3!!! I have been clamoring for a Home Run Derby in this game since it came out on the ps3. With 2 kids and one on the way, I don't always get enough time to play so HRD is a nice, quick fix for me.

With that said, I have zero worries about the camera angle right now. If the only camera angle ends up being the one where you only follow the shadow of the ball, then I probably won't play it much but I have lived just fine without it for the past 3 years. If they have a better angle then all is good. One thing you can bank on though is that every year this game will get better and better and most likely HRD will be improved upon. If I have to wait one more year to fully enjoy it, so be it.

Either way, I had decided to skip baseball this year because of my lack of time to fully play it. But there are too many good things going on and I just won't be able to not get it.

I don't get why everyone uses lack of time as a reason for liking HR derby, we can save any franchise game at any point now! I think being able to save whenever is my favorite feature that has been added to this game (08 I think?). If I only have 20-30 minutes, can play a few innings save it and come back later that night; no biggie.

While I am glad that HR derby has been added, I highly doubt that I will play it any time that isn't All-Star break in my franchise.

Well, it depends on how well implemented it is. Like I just posted about playable minor leagues in 2K10, the developers may see it as they will limit the resources spent on expanding the feature because people won't play it that much, but I see it as I would play it more if they spent more resources on expanding the feature. Kind of a two-way street.

So if it's as is, I will still check it out because the high cam still allows for us to see some shots, but if there are included random angles or the broadcast camera, I will give it much more playing time.

As for the in-game save thing, when I load it back up I'm a lot less focused than I was when I started the game. It's like playing back-to-back games in your franchise, then taking a week off and going back into it. You'll forget who was hot, who was fatigued, who you haven't played recently, etc. Because of that, I only do game saves as a last resort.

Hey dmb - did the players walk in and out of the dugouts? I know I was wondering myself as well as a few others who have asked in a few other threads.

Thank you for all the information!

is there anyway we can get a option to turn off the player indicator under the players?....just for aesthetic reasons.
