I can't wait to read about the 1st person who brings their own chair into BB!

Of course, I am not suggesting someone actually does that.

Not worried about a chair, but seriously considering bringing my own controller in there! lol

They do have some nice leather couches you can sit on in the HD section.. Maybe just drag one over with a buddy and sit down for some HR derby action..

Thanks Russ & Chris & SCEA for all the hard work..

Ok, so we got our own chairs and controllers into Best Buy now. Does anyone know if they'd allow a keg? My friend Steve and I planned to pick up a keg after work tomorrow and if we can't score the game early we planned to head to Best Buy for some games.

Against the cpu I hit a single into the outfield, grounded into the hole between 1B and 2B...the cpu outfielder charged it and missed it...it rolled past him and my guy got to third! A single and an error were charged to my recollection (I don't recall paying close attention to the scoring).

Anyways, I don't remember seeing that error much in 2009, or at least how it happened here. He reached his glove down and missed it.

Hey, would someone be so kind as to tell me what alternate/classic uniforms (outside of the aforementioned Orange Alt), the Giants have in this game?

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

Re: Play it at a kiosk? Post impressions here!!

I play with auto baserunning cuz i always seem to screw up. With that said, the cpu baserunning aggression is too high again this year. Ive been thrown out at third a few times now when theres no way the guy shouldve never tried for it. Its not a game killer, just very frustrating when it happens. It is fair i guess cuz i threw out Rollins at third so it goes both ways. But its still a problem like it was last year, may be tuned down a little but definately needs working on. Maybe give us a BR agression slider to tweak.

Re: Play it at a kiosk? Post impressions here!!

I thought there was a BR agression slider? Or maybe i'm thinking of MLB2k series when i used to play that.

Has anyone else noticed that the names and numbers have been removed when it shows your runners in the upper right hand corner? It isn't a big deal, just wondered why they made the change.

The Kauffman Stadium upgrades look amazing. The only gripe I have is that you are not able to edit the Royals shoes. It look like the only teams that you can't edit footwear are the A's and Royals.

I don't believe they were in last year either on the base-runner box.

I checked my 09 copy and they were there, but again no big deal.

Ok just returned from round 2. Where are you guys in the Twin Cities area? No one has challenged me for the controller yet. Anyway i am feeling even more positive about the game today than i was yesterday.

For all of your Atlanta Tomahawk Choppers, pay close attention to the first second or two of this short video, you will see your scoreboard going off after a HR...

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sKYr2NQ8fQ8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sKYr2NQ8fQ8&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

So I played half of a game with Atlanta against the Mets. I finally figured out how to turn the RTP on this time around, and boy am I loving that! I saw Chipper foul a pitch off his foot, hop around, and toss the bat away. Then they showed me the "Show-Motion" Replay of the whole thing, very well done.

I then jumped into a replay of a HR, and noticed that they let the replay run a lot longer this year. The player got almost to third on his trot before the replay cut off. This will be nice for putting together video montages as i have more to work with.

I then simmed a season up to the Divisional Series and played game 3 of the Yankees/Twins series to get a feel of playoff atmosphere. The Minnesota crowd was in full force waving the Homer Hankees/Towels and it was pretty cool. Especially when Morneau hit a three run blast to right...

Some notes from this game, I saw a variety of errors, both from my team and from the computer. Had a deep fly ball to Denard Span that he was within the circle to make the catch, however i wasn't ideally set and the ball glanced off his shoulder/glove/head and got behind him. I had another play where Jeter made a low throw to first, and instead of the ball just getting past the 1st baseman, he did the ole move, it hit off the tip off his glove and popped out, dribbling slowly up the first base line towards the outfield. Absolutely awesome sequence. I got to use the pitcher warmup sequence for the first time, pretty cool addition. I am sure i will think of more later.
