Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

Can you guys check to see if they finally got rid of the mismatched colors on catchers equipment? I don't like the fact that the Reds catchers have black shin guards and red chest protectors. They should be all Red.

The Reds uniform numbers were not correct last year either on their Red alternate. I would guess Pared will be checking on the unis since he made a thread about it. I just hope we don't have to see black caps or black anything for the Reds. The only black they wear is the bill of the road caps. that's it.

Will people that prefer to just use a simple timing approach and (X) to swing the bat still be able to get lots of hit variety without using the left analog stick again on all difficulty levels besides legend

A funny thing about that. Is I have one too. They keep sending me crap all the time. I am only 37, but for some reason they have given me a card, so I just ignore it. But it is funny.

2 questions:

1. Custom music. I know that we have batter walkup music cues... but are there any other in-game cues that we can assign audio to?

2. Are there any choppers this year? You know, high bouncing ground balls.


And a big 'Thank You' to the community leaders who are doing this.

The hit variety question has been asked, but specifically how about hits down the line resulting in doubles (hopefully the fielder angle improvement helps this) and shots over the heads of fielders. Also, how about more hits where the ball is pulled. I see lots of opposite field stuff with 08. Thanks and have fun down there in SD!!

Got to agree here, my stats were damn near perfect last year with the exception of doubles. Definitely too many balls put in play the opposite way also. You guys have a great time!

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

The changes to the fielding routes run by the CPU should certainly help this but I'm sure it is something we will notice one way or another.

Franchise
if you could find out how long the rule 5 and amatuer drafts are...i was assuming the june draft would have to be longer seeing as though now there are sandwhich picks this year

Re: ***Official Community Preview Questions Thread***

OK -- couldn't stand it any more and had to load 08. And had forgotten that you couldn't make a position player in RTTS that was left handed.

Can you make a left handed position player in '09?
