Yeah, nothing like bringing in a reliever with a quick slide step delivery with runners on and throwing a first pitch mistake because you're used to the previous pitcher's slower delivery.

I agree 100%. I guess what I meant in my post is that since the Intellivision days of baseball, there has never been a US game I played that allowed this to happen. Since I have never had it, I have never missed it.

With that said, I think it will be a great addition to this title. This will good for the meter pitching players because they will be able to get used to that specific pitcher's meter and how it functions before coming into a pressure situation.

For classic players (myself), since you don't have to worry about timing as it is attributes based, you will at least get the chance to see which pitch is working best that particular day.

I like the addition. I wonder if it has any effect on how those pitches work that day? You get 8-10 pitches and you can work on 2 or 3 pitches. For every time you hit the mark your confidence in that pitch goes up. Likewise it goes down if you miss. Not sure if that could be done with classic pitching, but would be cool nonetheless.

Sounds like you never played MLB Power Pros, then. That game had some pretty good features that I don't expect any of these games to have for the next few years just yet.

I have not played MLB Power Pros. While I certainly understand a need for those games, I can't get into it unless it is a sim-like game.

LOL. Power Pros needs to dump the short arm players. Hopefully next year.

Now Jim, I think I may have acknowledged once a couple of years ago that the arms looked slightly off, but it has never been a complaint of mine and has not had any affect on my experience with the game. In fact, you won't notice many, if any, complaints from me on The Show. Love the game!

DISCLAIMER: My comprehension skills took a plummet today so I was unsure where you were going with that comment.

LOL, he was joking with you. Have you ever seen the power pro's characters?
