Hey,

You mentioned Kruk being a plus. In the video shown awhile back, he sounded canned and kind of "spliced in" or tacked on to me. I'm assuming you found it more organic?

Not a big fan of him personally, but if he's just annoying because he's Kruk and not because of any technical stuff, then I can move past it (I did with Phillips who I also hate but think sounds great in the game...lol).

I know this was a 360 tryout but were you able to see the ps3 version at all?

[samuri26]

Ohh, and also, was the gameplay buggy?

[laker8la]

How is the hit variety?

[Gusto1]

I there a manager mode in this edtion?

[baseball66]

Do the strong arms of outfielders affect extra base hits and taking the extra base? Thanks.

[Checmate101]

Are any vids going to be coming out this weekend like it was last year?

I think Kruk sounds great, both technically and analytically. He brings some good thoughts to the table so far.

No PS3 hands-on. Sorry.

I don't think I can answer this with the time I have. I have seen multiple types of hits, but don't know with that frequency they will occur over time.

Haven't checked. I will later.

If they are anything like the game Chase and I had last night, I'd say yes. Check out his thread for details, but summary is Adam Jones GUNNED Juan Pierre at the plate on a bloop single. Pierre was on second, and was out by a good 3 feet. It was a perfect strike, no hops. Again, without more playtime I can't say for sure, but that isn't a good sign.
