Use the new pitching practice feature "knockout" or "knockdown" (can't remember), a part of pitcher confidence in game.
ie: you warm up your starter for a set # of pitches and the better you do the better his confidence/ability is to start..and same with the relievers.
I know from pitching in real life there were definitely days when I was "off" before even beginning.

Do homeruns feel special this yr? Last yr they were boring.

Can u play Homerun Derby online against friends?

i would like to know if they fixed the retirement logic,like, if a player has a milestone that could be accomplished within a year or 2 (ex: 400 or 300 homers, 3,000 hits, etc. ) then they wont retire, also, trade logic as well

and lastly, when will we be able to do a 5 for 5 player trade, (or more, or maybe even 4 for 4 or so player trade) becuase, if its only 3 players i can trade at a time, i have to give up more talent than i would if i could trade 4 or 5 guys.

[backbreaker]

following up on dmrich28 question, in next years game is it possible to bring the knockdown feature into the real game when warming up your relief pitcher

[Maynard]

i would like to know why the devs chose not to add analog pitching and fielding controls to this years game

thanks!

For PSP:

1)Will we finally be able to edit all the players names/skin color/body type, etc this year?
a) And could you please possibly make this editing process possible on the computer by tranferring memory card.

The reason for asking is my friends and I love playing this game in 1970s/1980s RETRO season league mode on the ps3 but when on the road and want to be able continue similar experience on the PSP it can not be done at present due to its lacking this option. Even with the PSP's obvious restrictions this should be possibile (as one has the option to do this on other manufacturers sports games for PSP)--providing one is willing to put the time in to do so it would greatly improve the portable game.

FOR PS3:

2) Will 1970s stadiums (Three Rivers, Memorial, River Front, etc) also be available for purchase for ps3 at some later date? Seeing Stargell/Parker/Sanguillen/Al Oliver playing again at Three Rivers or The Big Red Machine running around again on that Three Rivers lime green astroturf-are you kidding me? Thanks
