Really how many years does it take to be a problem?

Yeah, I get what the CPU is doing, and it does make sense on a certain level. But using the Red Sox, if I were to run into the Rays and see Longo batting 2nd, i'd shake my head a little. It doesn't bother me to the point where I won't play it, but it is a little frustrating.

I'm just wondering if I should live with it and play franchise just controlling my team, or continue to play by controlling all teams.

Kinda miffed they didn't fix the "holding the helmet" thing on RTP homers ... that was about the only thing I wanted this patch to fix ....

I know what you mean. I was hoping they would fix that to as well as players celebrating with eachother in real time pesentation after home runs.

Ahhhhh...screw it.

I'm just going to control my team and let whatever transactions happen, happen..in my virtual baseball world.

I just want to play, not tap into my inner Bud Selig.

Yeah..same with Wright batting in the 2 hole.

It looked weird to me at first, but i kinda like it, after my first two games of the season.

Wright is a solid contact, gap hitter with some pop.

If Reyes gets on and I steal, I have a pretty good shot of at worst, advancing him over.

If I hit away, anything hit into the gaps is a run.

Its pretty nice.

On another note, whats a good slider setting to get the CPU pitcher to throw more balls?

The CPU, more often then not, tends to go outside the zone when ahead in the count, or when tired.

This is really the only thing I want to change from default All Star.

I rarely see 2-0, 3-0, 3-1 counts in the early innings..even from tuna can pitchers.

Have any of you guys noticed that the ball is not as 'bouncy'?? It doesn't ricochet off the walls as crazy as before? This is a good thing by the way.

I can't put really put my finger on it, but 10 is just so much better and different than 09. It's just so clean. I think the hit variety stands out more than anything.

I agree about 10... the ball physics are just heads and shoulders above 09... i really feel i can hit the ball anywhere this year, its greaT!!!
