Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Guys thanks for the awesome info! Keep it coming. I'm really looking forward to info on signature styles and such.

Everything I've heard so far sounds like it will not disappoint.

Also, I feel sorry for you guys knowing 08 is ruined for you and you won't have a "fix" until the demo!

They did a fantastic job with monument park. Looks real sharp!!

Any other Yankee-related goodies you can share?

I read earlier you pitched with A.J., how did that turn out? Did you get to pitch with CC?

About 7,000 posts ago, Jim mentioned something about a bomb you hit with A-Rod and the animation that A-Rod did after hitting the HR had everybody "hooting." I'm not even sure what hotting means! Was it a new HR animation that they gave to A-Rod?

Thanks.

2K8 Throwing Meter was better

100% false

the only one wrong here is YOU

choose the option to SHOW the meter and then get back to me

nuff said

100% True

Sorry but I think you are 100% false

All throws seem to be the same to me!

100% wrong

Same here. With what they added/fixed the game deserves no less than a 9 IMO if no major new issues show up. Too many people expect "Innovation" and "Gimmicks" that say "LOOK I'M A VIDEO GAME!!
Give me realism and the little things with stellar gameplay and that's all I need.

100% true


ok anyway...this one is for the boys Pared, Nem, Jim, Knight.
Clearly there is something big that you guys are holding back that makes this game even better. So here are my questions...they are yes or no. Not answering or saying you cant say...will be just as telling

1. Is there anything involving reading the ball rotation ala MVP color code system

2. Could ANY of the the new innovations you arent allowed to discuss be viewed as a "gimmick" by any

3. Has the pitcher/batter battles been modified in a way that would be noticeable by the non-hardcore gamer.

4. Does any of the things that you are holding back significantly change the game or are they just more "little things"

5. Is this whole Community Preview thing a scam and arent Jim, Knight, Pared and Nem just really false names for SCEA devs Kolbe, Chris, Brian and Russell?

6. On a scale of 1-10 10 being the highest. Please rate the significance of the things that we dont know about this game.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Errors are not that big of a deal for me. I looked at the team error stats from last year. The Texas Rangers made the most errors 132, and the Houston Astros made only 67 the whole year. Thats like 1 every 2.5 games. The Yankees amazingly were second best with only 83.

Jim is a real. He is not a dev. He is a FAMOUS author.

Thanks.

I hit a no doubter dead pull with him and the replay in broadcast cam was incredible.

I hit bombs with Matsui (dead center), Teix(one pull, one opposite), Arod(all pull), Swisher (all pull), Nady(pull)

As far as anything else:

-I think I told you Girardi looks very good. He is pretty animated in the dugout, lol. Sometimes he is wearing a Yankee jacket.

-Are you familiar with that glove tap, back slap that Jeter, Arod and Cano do?

-They did a great job on the stadium for the lack of info they were given.

I pitched with CC, Burnett, Wang. I liked pitching with Burnett the best, just really like his feel.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Are there more real managers this year?...such as ken macha...

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Here's kind of a generic "game development" question:

How long can SCEA continue to work on this game until it needs to be sent out to production? Is it a continual 'fine tuning' until the very last minute, or do they have a set date where they are "done"? Two weeks before release date? Three weeks?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Yeah.....I was looking at some 08 screens and I'm just not interested right now.

I do not know the time frame but they were feverishly tweaking and fixing everyday we were there.

I can't complain about that.

At my age, I can hardly afford to wish time away, but just this once can we just make February go away?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Do we finally have an exploding scoreboard at US Cellular Field?

Bump - did you guys see fireworks at any stadium?
