The third game, MLB® Bobblehead Battle will feature a batting battle that will be out later this year. Here is the full article. http://www.konami.com/article/MLB_%C...O_DOWNLOAD/225

Wow, that sucks. The full game (with Home Run Derby, My Bobble, and Edit Player) will be later this year..
I'll probably just play MLBPP2008 until the full game comes out.

To be fair, they still gave us a ton of game for $10. The gameplay is great and season mode has a ton of depth.

I haven't been able to try the online play yet. It takes forever to find a game and I don't have the patience to wait out the "searching for game" screen.

My scores are becoming a lot more realistic now that I've gotten the hang of manual fielding. My staff ERA if finally under 10 now! Sitting at 9.38 team ERA after my third victory of the season.

Next closest in the league are the Indians at 6.49 ERA.

Yeah, I know, I keep forgetting that.

Haha, I told you, it's always high-scoring, and I guess that's proof.

My starting pitching the last two games has actually been spectacular by my standards.

I held the Braves and the Cubs to 1-run a piece going into the 8th and 9th innings, respectively.

Then I had to hand over the keys to bums like LaTroy Hawkins and Takashi Saito.

And both those games ended up being like 7-8 and 5-6 at the end.

what settings are you guys using?

keeping your settings the same as cpu's etc? meaning your on pro as well as the cpu. or do you guys bump the cpu stuff say on rookie, while you stay on pro?

[jyoung]

Default settings for everything, except I changed the pitching speed to fast and added semi-auto baserunning, which was a huge help.

[Fiddy]

gonna sound dumb, but what is default level on this game? pro?

[jyoung]

I think pro CPU difficulty is the default. There should be a button you can just hit to reset everything to default and double-check.

Really, the game plays pretty good out of the box on default, it's just the hitting that is too easy, so that's why I upped the pitch speed to compensate.

Outside of Corey Hart being an animal (11 HRs in 8 games), all my power numbers have gone way down across the board now that I switched over to fast pitching.

Ryan Braun in particular hit 3 HR his first game on normal pitch speed but hasn't hit a single one since. He is slumping big time. I love the streak/slump meta-game in season mode.
