    Re: ***Official "It's The Little Things..." Thread***

    My played my first game yesturday on Legend mode, I was the Marlins playing at home against the Yankees. I was down 5-1 in the bottom of the eighth and then I notice the crowd has gotten significantly smaller since earlier in the game. Then I look around and see the fans leaving their seats walking towards the exits because I was losing, lol. That was an awesome touch, I ended up losing 5-2, and brought the tying run to the plate against mariano rivera.

      You know what is even better?
      I remember the devs saying that they researched which parks this is likely to happen in.....and programmed it as such. So you won't see Yankee Stadium emptying out with the team down.

        Yea, instead, half the crowd will leave in the 7th to avoid traffic.

          I could be wrong, but I noticed something that I don't think was in last year's game - well, not entirely.

          Last year, I think scoreboards would show real MLB scores. But, did they show scores of other franchise games?

          I ask because I was playing Phillies vs. Braves on Opening Day, after having played a couple other earlier games from the day, and on a replay I saw that the Nationals beat the Marlins 10-3. I didn't think much of it until I checked the scores of the games for that day and sure enough, the Nationals beat the Marlins 10-3.

          I'm going to play the Angels vs. A's game next, so I'm definitely going to double check the scoreboards to confirm this for myself.

          Either that or someone can just tell me that this was definitely in last year and I sold the game too quickly to even notice.

              I don't know if this has been mentioned already but it is awesome when Rivera emerges from the pen when Enter Sandman is playing and the crowd is going nuts

                  Yes...this was in last year also...it showed YOUR franchise game scores.

                  Edit...sorry...I see green94 answered you already!

                    Does he do his little routine. Just asking because if he does they should've programmed Mariano to not go nuts. I'm a Yankee fan and seeing Mariano all pumped up, going nuts after a 1-2-3 save in April bothers me. Mariano is all class. Love the game by the way.

                        I seriously logged on to post that same thing. My case was " New York is doing all the little things to win today. I can see this being a discussion on the internet. They can call it The Little Things thread". OS getting a shout out in the game. Amazing. I want a personal shout out next year.

                            Squibbed a ball just foul down the 3rd base line. 3rd baseman charges and scoops the ball toward the dugout with his glove! I was like, no way they put that in there.

                            I have a crush on the guys at SCEA.

                                i noticed CC field a few grounders. Seen many many balls hit in the gaps and over outfielders heads. down the line for extra base hits. Even saw a ball hit back at the mound and bounce off the rubber rolled back to the catcher and he made the play at first. I also had a situation runner on first. i threw a curve ball thrown in the dirt. catcher was able to recover it quickly and i was able to snap throw back to first to get the runner out. saw a ball rolling down the third base line crossed the line foul and a-rod hit it with his glove to stair in foul territory<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
