Power Pros is very sim in every way with the exception of the artistic intent drawing towards... I don't know what the word is... but they have a Japanese cartoon feel to them is all. Otherwise, I could spit out some very realistic results in that game.

Let me rephrase then. I can't get into a game that doesn't look and feel like a sim-game. Everyone talks about how great of a game Hot Shots has been over the years. Some, if not most, for a while thought it played the best round of golf. But no way could I get a sim experience out of characters that look like that.

LOL, he was joking with you. Have you ever seen the power pro's characters?

Yeah well you can never tell when dealing with a senior citizen, know what I mean?

Sorry Jim, I couldn't resist!

Hey, my wife tells me the same things.

A few things:

-In regards to the whole HR Derby Camera complaints, wouldn't it have been awesome if a homerun was hit during the exhibition play? Cause then you would get an idea what the broadcast cam currently does in the first place when that happens and it doesn't switch to HR Cam. Just a thought.

-The catcher catching low strikes from the pitcher view still looks off to me. I don't know what it is but it just always looks like the pitch should be clipping the top of the glove the way he snatches at it. Surprised that wasn't touched on even though I'm not really sure how it's supposed to look anyways so that's probably just me.

-Still really really wished they'd implement the bat thing that mlb power pros and Yak-something Spirits uses. Where you control where you're bat comes through in the swing. Makes everything so much more realistic because the Batter's Eye is a joke.

Otherwise the game does look suprisingly bettter graphically than I thought it would. And I am pumped about the new Broadcast Cam (never thought I'd be so excited about a camera but yeah). I'm a presentation whore though so I hope they go crazy with that stuff and that they're liberal with the stat overlays and contextual comments relating to your franchise or season.

I don't understand what is so hard about getting the pitcher cam to work online. It's the main thing that is needed for online play (other than making online play lag less) but yet they continue to ignore it year after year!!

To say they are ignoring it is a poor choice of words.

I've not heard anyone say they tried to or want to get it in, have you? Perhaps I'd change my choice of words if I saw that. All I see is them saying they didn't put it in. Which means they basically are ignoring people's request for it.

There is certainly a better way of being respectful to the devs while getting your point across. But to say they have "ignored" the requests by everyone is just ridiculous. If they have "ignored" them, which I don't think they have, then it is just about the only thing you can say has been "ignored" since these guys add stuff that we request every year.

But seriously, if you are concerned or frustrated that the option isn't in there (obviously you are), at least say so with some class and respect.

As much as he praises NCAA football, you would think he would be used to devs ignoring gamer requests lol

To get you up to speed this will be the second year they are attempting to get that view in the game. It appears it is not operating to a satisfactory level again for this year.

bigjake - yes i am used to it, i'm still waiting for dreadlocks in ncaa. i hardly think that i was being crass, just stating my opinion.

nemesis - you post this above, did SCEA say this somewhere? I've not heard this issue addressed other than "no it's not in there".

There are some posts floating around here about the subject. Also I have had face to face discussions about it as well with them.

You really don't know what you are talking about. We aren't ignoring peoples request all the camera angles where in the design this year for online but they had to be cut.
