You know, I like the idea of warming up relievers, and the strategies involved. But it really just kind of got old. I went to turning the active bullpen off, and I find that the games flow much better.

I just never felt a rush from successfully warming up a pitcher. I can understand why it is a compelling feature, but it has caused me more grief than it is worth.

the warm up pitcher would be a good feature, if they would make it more dynamic. they should have some sort of indicator of how how well your relief pitchers throwing in the bull pen. is he throwing hard is he locating well. will he be effective or not. right now its just warm up a reliever and bring him in. add in the fatigue factor, then it becomes even more immerssive.
this would make warming up 2 relievers more of a necessity.

Sometimes I'll forget I got a guy warming up LOL!! If my starter struggles I always try to let him roll as long as possible. Then I remember 2 innings later about that guy in the pen... oops.

But I like the idea mentioned here about some meter that shows a pitcher's readiness. This game is so close, yet so FAR away.

When you have pitcher's warming up and you go to the quick sub menu, hit triangle (on PS3) and it takes you to a bullpen camera and shows you a meter that indicates how warm the pitcher is.

Didn't know this ^^

Thanks!! Question: does anyone know if the bullpen camera is also in the 360 version? (I don't have the PS3).

how the hell do I check swing? and i have the patch

[ryan36]

has anybody else noticed certain deliveries (duchscherer) have a hitch in them that make steals automatic?

it's like all this game needs is to be tuned a just a little better and it'd be a lot more fun.
I'm still having a blast

You have to pull the swing stick back after pushing it forward, which is nearly impossible. I don't bother with it.
