Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

The pitches that are in MPH are just one number. A pitcher who throws 87 will have a built in variable so that he also might throw 88, 89, 86, 85, that kind of stuff. The editor for MPH goes from 0-99 being the highest, but the 99 has a variable that will allow that pitcher who throws that hard to also reach 100, etc.

Who throws the hardest in the game and how high was it? I'd love to know how Zumaya was on the gun and I hope he was able to hit above 100. Anybody play with or against the Tigers?

There is an AUTO LINEUP fix this year that they really worked on. I experimented with sending some starters down and bringing up a player that would be a bench player and when I let the AI decide the lineup with AUTO FIX (several teams), it all looked good.

Just as an example, here was a Cardinals batting order in the game.

Schumaker
Kennedy
Pujols
Ludwick
Ankiel
Glaus
Molina
Greene

I put Pujols in the minors and brought up some AAA guy and hit AUTO FIX to see what it would do. The lineup was like this....

Schumaker
Duncan (brought in to replace Pujols)
Ludwick
Ankiel
Glaus
Molina
Kennedy
Greene

Experimented with several teams and saw nothing funny (like last year having Derek Lee bat lead off).

Pitchers FIELD!!! I took a screen capture of Kevin Gregg stabbing a ball up the middle....behind his back! There were several plays where the pitchers made really good plays on balls back up the middle.

There's an opening in the RF corner (wall) at Wrigley, that has a screen. I had to laugh because you could see cars driving by on the street. They have added a TON of presentation.

I grounded into four double plays when playing Knight. Everyone as smooth as silk.

Someone asked about the pennants in Turner Field lacking the years. They now have the years noted.

I LEFT MY NOTES WITH KNIGHT....SORRY...HE'LL POST MORE DETAILS, ALONG WITH NEM/PARED/PASTAPADRE later.

Even Dolphin stadium looks great now. You won't believe how eye popping the stadiums are. The condos behind center field in Petco, whoa, have the proper depth of field feel.

YES! YES! AND YES!

THANK YOU SCEA FOR FINALLY FIXING TURNER FIELD!

Okay, I'm heading home. The other guys should chime in shortly, no they aren't going drinking, didn't do that last night, but they do have to get up super early to catch an early flight out, I think they leave at 0800 PST.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

He can prob throw 100 but will most likely get hurt a few pitches later lol.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Damn Jim, this game sound like the best thing ever. Thanks for the tremendous effort you & the guys have poured into keeping us informed. The BSG controversy is the only negative, but in the end I think it'll be okay.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

There's BSG controversy? Did I miss that part?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Wow. This is like getting to taste the icing on a birthday cake. Even though it's not the whole cake, it's still tasting great. Have a safe trip back Jim, and don't get too depressed that you'll now have to wait a month in order to play it again.
