Knight,

Any word/talk about converting your historical 09 files for 10? Hope you brought them with you on a thumbdrive! Would be nice to save you about 1000 hours worth of work this spring/summer..

Fingers crossed...

See nemesis and pared's statements on this in the stickied thread up top. They explain it in detail and nemesis had to correct his earlier statement.

Wish is why no one commented on it. There are huge write-ups covering it for your perusing.

Sorry, if this has already been posted, I tried a search with no luck.

Did they fix the problem with the 40 man roster and the 60 day DL?

Last year if you put a player on the 60 day DL he still counted against your 40 man.

Thanks

Just wondering if this question has been addressed, this is very important to franchise mode players

Thanks Pared! I have to admit seeing that video made me slightly concerned only because I remember the 2k series, for years, had concrete for grass and I always hated that.

Also it seemed in that video that whomever was playing was purposefully trying to let the ball go. It was probably a very high hit ball and would have easily been caught if they were trying.

Thanks again!

What video are you referring to? Just curious.

Great job by all and it's getting me more and more pumped.

Just a quick question, though, how are the start times in Franchise mode? Do the Cubs play a lot of day games? Day games on Saturdays and Sunday? Get away games? I think there was a problem last year with this, that there were very few day games for the Cubs and such, just want to know...thanks!

CES event. Dmdfan took video and in one of them(from day 2 I believe) there was groundrule double that got people discussing.

Totally get the point ... but if you've done everything right from a player standpoint ... timing, location, guess right pitch you should be rewarded with good contact ... not a HR ... not even a hit ... but good contact.

To your point, if you do everything wrong as player, you absolutley should not be rewarded with good contact. Maybe a bloop hit ... maybe a seeing eye single ... but if you guess wrong on location, pitch and timing ... it should be a strike or weakly hit.

Wouldn't that be right from just a real baseball approach?

I may be a solitary voice on this, so forgive me if I'm beating this to death.

Nope, I feel ya.... And you are exactly right.

WAY more Cubs day games than prepatch '09. I didn't get an exact count, but it looked fine this time.

There's no reason to worry about it. It's almost as if some of you are LOOKING for something complain about.

Take it easy, I love the game. I love my wife too but she's not perfect.

I just want to make sure I'm clear on this. If I time it perfectly, guess the pitch and the location that as a batter I should expect ANYTHING to happen?

Well i've played baseball for about 17 years now, and yes ANYTHING can happen when you square up a baseball..You can hit a solid grounder aka pee rod!!! a liner (could be a double or could line to some one), a homer or even jus a high pop up...baseball is a game of inches, so jus because you guess perfectly and square it up doesn't mean your gonna get a homerun, or even a base hit for that matter...

re: Community Day Questions, Answers, and Impressions

Yes, you can still make contact even if the PCI (your aim) isn't on the ball's location. That's still scaled by difficulty though - the sweet spot is much smaller on the upper levels so you're more likely to miss if you don't line it up.

No, it's still not a true zone hitting system - the bat moves to meet the ball.

The animation goes that way via the replay, but you don't make contact, at least on the higher difficulty levels.

It shows you missing the ball just under/above the pitch... but it's not a completely level, dead center swing in your case. I believe that's done to make the game look better.

On Legend if you don't move your PCI to cover the ball you will either miss it entirely or foul it off.

Thanks guys. I played 09 strictly on legend so I'll be good to go with 10. I totally understand the reasoning behind what you are saying about making the game look better.
As long as if I'm really off on location etc... I'm not ripping balls into play I'll be good.

Questions:
1: On the RTTS mode I understand there is an option for Every pitch D only, Every pitch O only or "The ball that gets hit into play" option...

If I set it for the last option is does that mean I can play ALL plays O and D or do I still have to decide which side to play?


2: How do you guys feel as far as the "weight" of the players? Any changes? I know that's more in line with FB games but since baseball is the only sport that really matters... How is it in the Show.
Does it "feel" different when swinging a bat with Jeter than it does with Posada? Swing time / Weight etc..etc... (same for in the field if you don't mind)

Again thanks for all the info!
