Can you guys check if we can finally save exhibition games this year.
Probably not many people care about that over here but I would be very happy

I second that. I like to play exhibitions games every now and then. It gives me a chance to practise and improve certain facets of my game play. We all know games can last a couple of hours and I don't always have the time to go through a complete game. So it would be nice to be able to save it and complete it at a later time.

I was so happy Nick Swisher finally got an updated portrait (this time with no goatee)!! Lol hopefully every player now has an updated portrait because last year a lot of them had 1-2 year old portraits.

I'm on the sticks I was striding just for show GT recorded over 10 minutes of footage I can't control what they choose to show. 3. With the addition of contact swing bunting has been moved to triangle. If you are using pure analog batting bunting is done by pressing up (not in) on the R analog stick. You influence your bunt by using the swing influence feature that has been in the game for years.

Two questions Ramone:

1. May I hit a home run even if I pick normal or contact swing, or is power a necessity?

2. Is there a way to turn off the HUD, or will it keep reminding me what the buttons are for on every pitch till judgement day?

Thanks for sharing your time with us!

1. Normal swing you will still be able to hit HRs like you can now with it. Some of us never use power swing and got realistic results and HR totals. Contact swing you will 98% more than likely not hit one. But there may be that one rare Gibson like fluke HR swinging for contact, but very very rare if at all.

2. Was mentioned in the first previews, the HUD is customizable and items can be shut off now I believe.

I apologize in advance if this has already been said in this thread, but it looks like Jimmy has a new batting stance this year. I hope the batting stances and pitching styles have been updated in more detail. (Yes, I know there's another thread on that topic.) Looks like the umpires got an updated attire as well..

Edit: On the thread, Video Interview: Ramone Russell - Revamped RTTS, New Training Modes if you closely watch the tv you can see Josh Hamilton and Aubrey Huff got new stances as well!

Speaking of bunting...

Maybe it's just me, but I've always had trouble when trying to check, or pull back a bunt. Is it any easier in '11?

Thanks for clarifying, customizing the HUD is a godsend, thanks again SCEA.
