????????????

Does this mean, what I think/hope it means???

Or is this just being able to customize the music that comes with the game?

The fact u had to point out who he is....makes it clear he doesnt deserve a sig stance....I know him....but most people dont...

It looks like there are a lot more batting camera options too! I know someone posted earlier that they did re-do it so the distance would be greater, but I see about 5 blades of options there for batting. Can't wait 'til Tuesday!

Damn, these screens are hot. Anticipation level rising!

# 25 brendanrfoley @ 02/28/08 11:24 AM

I love this pic... and I love the clean look.

# 26 Blzer @ 02/28/08 11:25 AM

Honestly, now I've become 10x more impressed with their efforts in this game. It's not just in the options that I saw, but I am really noticing how clean this game is actually looking. If only they really upped the presentation, this game would be a true gem!

The only big downside I saw is they eliminated throwing speed sliders. I only hope they throw just right...

Yeah the menu's are awesome. One-button IBB too, that wasn't in last year's game, was it? If it was I didn't know about it so it's new to me!

I was hoping I wouldn't get this damn excited for this game but I knew it was inevitable!

That's Chien-Ming Wang.

Finally, an interface that looks well done. When is the last time a 2k sports game had that?

I will also agree it looks a lot like MVP!

# 31 brendanrfoley @ 02/28/08 12:01 PM

You know, I was thinking the same thing the more I loked at that pic. It is very MVP-ish, which I don't think is a bad thing at all. I have very fond memories of MVP, as I think many of us do.

Am I the only one thinking that posting the Sliders on the boards this year might be harder considering that there isn't numbers to go by this year. Last year it went in increments of 5 (ala 5-10-15 and all the way to 100), but this year it just seems to be a bar with no numbers. Pardon me for sounding stupid, but is there a way around this for people that like to use sliders? Thanks. Later

# 33 ckarlic @ 02/28/08 12:33 PM

The screens look great IMO..Just hope it translates well on screen when I get my dirty hands on this

Hmmm..interesting..I hope this isnt the case in the final build..Although, I remember Kush saying that we should try the game at default settings before adjusting sliders...not sure what difficulty level he suggested but I think it was All Star level.

You guys must be too young to remember the days before numbered sliders. I believe for Madden and NCAA, they took a LONG time to start actually putting in numbers in relation to the sliders. Guys like Pared and Jistic used to have to post their Madden sliders telling you how many clicks from the left you had to go in order to get the setting they were using. Big pain in the *** but it's been done before.

# 37 RedLine @ 02/28/08 12:59 PM

Thanks for posting all the pictures, I look forward to your impressions of the game as I wait for the official release.

Also, from looking at the screenshots for the controls, I did not see a page for "Base Burner" mode. I hope they left that in the game. Can you confirm if it's in or out please?

Thanks.

It will probably be clicks like in Sony's MLB game.

Edit: TJ said that already... meh

Guys, thanks a ton for taking the time to put up these screens. They're incredibly easy to navigate with the new (and vastly improved) board format. I can't wait until Tuesday.

Seconded

It's a lot easier to navigate the screens in the new OS!
