Don't know what to tell you. I didn't see it, is all I can say. Nem and I sat side by side playing and were even commenting on it.

JAY LENO, you're fired!

Haha my bad, I can't believe I didn't catch the jokiness in the message. Sorry I was kind of tired cause I lost some sleep earlier getting my Flight of the Conchords tickets off of pre-sale WOOT!

I think he is talking about when you go to field a ball like say with your second basemen and the ball seems to go right under him with out him putting his glove down to scoop the ball. I hate when this happens and hope its fixed!

I think I remember reading comments from pastapadre and he said this fielding error still happen in 09

I am not agreeing with that comment.

Last year many complained that when they took a right angle approach to the ball it would go by them without the fielder making any attempt.

In 09:

If you try this same approach there is an animation to support reaching for the ball but it is not a lock that you will field it if your approach to the ball is off. It will continue out to the outfield. So in summary they will reach for it but based on the player ability, sometimes he will get it and sometimes he will not, especially if you make that hard right angle approach to the ball.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I have to disagree with that comment as well. I did not see that at all.

Here's the thing though: With such a short amount of time, this could have been the cause of user error on his part... or we just didn't play enough to see it. Does that make any sense?

We just don't know. There was not enough time spent with the game on anyone's part to say for a definitive answer that "so and so needs work." I know I've made my comments about needing more errors... and I stand by it... but perhaps if I played 10 more games I wouldn't feel that way.

There is just too small of a sample size to make those comments without hesitation on anyone's part.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I sat and talked to Kolbe about this, same as with the first baseman now deciding if he needs to run to the bag or throw it to the pitcher covering. Part of the AI this year

sask3m said he heard a rumor that the demo will be out this week. Knight said it wasn't a rumor and he was advised to let everyone know that they have sent the demo for approval and hope to have it out by "early" february. Page 103 (question) and Page 104 (answer)

Just wanted to clarify what I wrote.

FIXED!
You will now be able to change the throwing hand of any player in the editor...including MLB guys.(I'm guessing as long as you don't put one of his positions to C-2B-SS-3B and leave it there...then it will be greyed out)

SCEA delivers again!

NICE! Hey Knight just curious, was SCEA aware of this problem already, or was this fixed directly because you pointed it out to them? Either way this is great news, excellent work as usual!

Right. And thank you.

If I remember right, last year the weekly blog said to look for the demo this Thursday... maybe tomorrow's blog will tell us?

Now that football is over, I'm even more stoked for baseball season. These next few weeks before the spring training activities start are the worst few weeks of the year for me.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I know most if not all of the people in this thread have the PS3 but I was just wondering if there is any chance that any of BSG's batting stances will be in the PS2?

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

To the 3 folks to PM'd me about the flags (and the fair amount of you in this thread asking)

Yes the flags blow in the direction of the wind
Yes they blow varying amounts based on the velocity of the wind
