Things you miss from 08

[trick02]

#1 for me would have to be GM goals...i thought it added a unique twist to franchise and was rather fun.

I really can't say, only played '08 a few times. What sort of things are missing?

The "Manager Mode" is probably what I miss the most, although the ability to end a game when you have to get to work or pick up the kids and "sim to end" is a big missing feature, too.

Still not sure why they took those out.

The problem I had with GM goal is sometimes they were just completely unrealistic.

Find a player who hit at least 35 HR and had 40 SB last year?

Great. Those are like 4 guys, all of which are untouchable.

Or find a guy with a 80+ power rating and 85+ speed?

That got on my nerves, even worse when I got fired because I didn't do those. It's a good idea in principle but was poorly executed.

I miss the stat overlay from the batting screen where you could see the stats, pitchcount, etc.. just by hitting the direction pad.

editing stanc... eh I'm tired of saying it

Honestly? I think 08 was underrated...I enjoyed swing stick 2.0 and with the correct sliders that were developed by the community, notably SFG's, the games I played were excellent offline. I also enjoyed in my franchise, playing games in A, AA, this was a good method on learning the controls of the game. I still play it; dare I say more than 09!
