You can't edit the coaches/managers.

That sucks. Hopefully next year.

There is no rosen bag on the field.

The reason is programming. Right now you see the rosen bag in the pitchers hand at times and he throws it down. We were told that the rosen back HAS to be a "static" (embedded) article and actually part of the field that will NOT move. There is no way to program it so that the pitcher will walk behind the mound and pick it up. If they do have that animation there will still be a rosen bag showing on the field.

So that people don't post...."well why don't they......." remember there is already coding in the game that if something is changed it might mean changing absolutely everything that effects that code/program.

Catcher doesn't throw his mask.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

If you put your personal music/jeers/cheers in the game, but then use a new roster, you lose the music/jeers/cheers as those are tied into the roster. A new roster means you have to put the stuff back in for each player. That makes sense. (you don't lose the stuff off your hard drive)

Are there outfield errors? I had Soriano run a ball down and then drop it, so I'd say yes.

Way to go Soriano....

Ha, ha....okay...one mo time, lol. Here's how the lighting works. Let's take a Seattle night game. All 7pm games used to start with it DARK. Now when you go to the game, and being as it gets dark much later up north you will see the sun out, however, you will notice afternoon shadows in the stadium. It will get increasingly darker (thats' what happens when night comes , until the lights go on and you're playing the game at night.

Think real life. They covered it.

This little, actually huge detail, is going to make this game that much more immersive. I love what I am hearing about the lighting!

Weekly roster update and chants/jeers. It is my understanding, for those guys who do the weekly roster updates, that the chants/jeers are completely tied into the one roster you just added them to. That makes sense to me as a roster is a separate file. So if you download a weekly update you are NOT downloading the chants/cheers, just the roster update. You'd have to reinsert the audio to the new roster update.

He is calling you MVP. You know I have come to realize something. I don't know ****. Every time I say "how hard can it be", you should shoot me. I am beginning to see that nothing is easy when it comes to videos games.

Which is fine to me. Once I start a franchise it's "my" world and updated rosters aren't needed.
