I look at him with the crazy eyes and go yeah that's it. Is it going to break something else? Then another conversation ensued anyway long story short. He made an 12:01 change to satisfy you guys.

Woodweaver you are my hero and you just made my year

You guys are above amazing and I consider you family

It should have no affect on the information displayed in the score bug. So, no new option. The pitch type/speed will just always be displayed in the score bug regardless of the Pitch Callout setting.

Yes Yes Yes...This is what we wanted for 5 years and finally it's a reality!!!!!

I can not wait to watch a CPU vs CPU game and see the MPH display and know that WE made it happen with endless posts about it

This has been my dream forever

Yep I play with everything OFF and enjoy an organic presentation

Guess we'll know immediately if upcoming CPU vs CPU gameplay footage is from an updated or final build because the pitch type/speed will always display on the scorebug now thanks to Woodweaver

Every time I play a game with pitch callout OFF and see that MPH display on the scorebug I will remember that we collectively as an OS family made this happen by posting endlessly for years how important this really is to us

This is a collective victory and proves that our voices are heard and are wishes can be granted

I vote Russel for community manager of the year...if such an award existed!

Unlike what has been stated in the clip above, ...WOODWEAVER (Ramone you can tag along), I would be more than delighted to take YOU, not your mother, out to a nice seafood dinner....AND CALL YOU AGAIN!

This is just incredible that a last minute thing would get in like this. STOKED beyond belief about this.

edit: I do not like seafood... let's do wendys

it pains me to see this game still doesnt have half the features mvp 05 had....i want to be able to create my own stadium or create a team and use them in franchise i want to relocate my team and all that good stuff. scea you have die hard fans who arent happy with the lack of progress. I cant believe noone has referenced mvp 05 when talking about features to add to the show.

Simple solution. Play MVP 05.

This is a different game. I'm guessing they want to build it a different way, the way they see fit. Kinda cheap to just only "steal" ideas from other games, especially ones that didnt have the same limitations. That stuff would be cool but its also fully understandable and has been explained either why or how they dont do those things.
