i wanted to know if there is a new camera for outfield, right now you either have to follow that stupid arrow on ur screen or press whatever button it is to see where the ball is going and hope you get there in time. but the big issue i have is trying to rob a home run, so when it shows a fielding option to rob a home run its very very very difficult to actually read it and position your self in the right spot making it almost impossible to do correctly.

That's what a Twinkie looks like when you squeeze it. Very fitting!

I couldn't agree more about the OF camera. I wish we had the option to just do it in a regular view. The whole first person aspect and trying to judge the fly ball sometimes is a bit rough.

I find this ironic coupled with your username.

I won't tell you what I found once in the cream when I bit into a Twinkie. Suffice to say it has been decades since I ate a Twinkie.

When a batter hits a ball in the air to an outfielder it is called a ___ ball.

Hey...at least you got a little bit of protein with it.
Yours was 100X more nutritious than a regular Twinkie!!

Hey Ramone, not sure if you can answer this now or not, but has the glitch on editing created pitchers pitches been fixed? Last year there was a glitch that you had to carefully edit each pitch because there numbers would change. It was kinda broken compared to editing a real player pitcher pitches as you could enter the exact number with it staying without changing vs the created pitchers.

Can we select uniforms before each game this year?

# 192 tree3five @ 02/06/16 11:27 AM

With specific countries being presented for each player this year, might we see the WBC next year?

I own the basketball game and I find it entertaining arcade fun. I wouldn't consider it a "leap forward" for the Show to replicate that. I guess it depends on what you look for in a video game.

Konami has the rights to the WBC so not very likely.

I noticed in the video the grounds crew is still using Acme rakes. MLB has officially changed to brand X rakes this year due their superior balance and rakeability.

This is a game breaker for me if it isn't changed.

Telling people to sell their systems because they don't like the game isn't their opinions. They try to silence anyone with a negative view of the game with passive aggressive posts aimed at either getting them to shut up, or feel stupid for not liking the game.

# 198 Scott @ 02/06/16 08:06 PM

Okay. Everyone just take a step back. Way too much hostility going on.

I tried to lighten the mood with a joke about rakes. I guess I need to work on my humor.
