I'm afraid I might get discouraged when I get out of the gate 0-32.

It's tough, but good tough, if you know what I mean.

Jim,
In legend mode, does it really seem that they really are taking advantage of situations or it is more of a "AI catch-up logic" that we have all experienced in the past? Does it really feel like the game is not already decided?

Every pitch...every single pitch needs total concentration. No more just slinging one in and thinking you'll get your out.
I don't know...God Bless you if you do play a full season on Legend.

That's for sure!

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I'm not sure that this is a question that anyone can really answer, but is there any word on when the cutoff date for the default rosters are? It'd be a lot easier to have my All Dingers No Defense outfield of Manny, Burrell, and Dunn if they're all free agents!

@ bwfan01

huge reason? Hmmm...are you simming?

I've played with two Franchises for one whole season and I'm 4 months into my second year...it will NEVER happen if you CONTROL your team(s) and not leave it to the AI do to it for you.

I would also like confirmation on this. This is a HUGE reason I avoided Franchise mode.

Regardless of cut-off date, as long as you can get online they will have a roster download if not by the day of release there will be one in the first couple days of release...

I'm working on it now hopefully I can start posting them tonight

@ Bronk_Bonin

Sure. I can see myself starting out from day #1 in exhibitions playing on Legends....heck, I'm getting many low-hit, low score, madening frustrating games with '08, so I'm kind of used to the whole non-slugfest thingy...if you know what I mean. LOL

Do any of you guys envision yourselves playing a season/franchise on Legend or do you see that mode being more of a "occasional, let's see if I can handle these guys tonight in exhibition type mode?" From the sounds of it, a 162 game schedule on this mode would caue the blood pressure to go through the roof.

Man i hope so

. Will you post them on this thread?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

OK, now that I know Legend is going to be used for me as an exhibition tool when I'm feeling "saucy." Does the AI hitters make you pay for mistakes more on HoF setting? I found too often when playing 08 that I got away with way too many mistake pitches when missing the meter. If I'm not executing, and leaving mistakes over the plate, I want to be punished. Since that sounds like the case with Legend mode, does Hof offer that as well but just a tad bit toned down?

**SoxFan01605** · 02-02-2009, 11:39 PM

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I think I'm gonna use legend mode as my "playoff mode" to add that extra sense of intensity. It sounds fun for that.

I can't envision, after everything I've read, doing that for 162 games and (if I make it) playoffs though.

I mean, I like the idea of a challenge, but I like healthy heart function and a working (at least partially

) brain even better...lol

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Do the hot and cold zones include batting averages? Do they show up for the batter when you are pitching without having to leave the screen?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Can someone explain to me what the different difficulties do in MLB 08?

What exactly does stepping up a difficulty level do? Make it harder to hit?
