Not necessarily, that post you linked the user doesn't specify if he was home or away, they could be different combinations for each.

The Braves only wear the Blue jersey on the road, at home they wear the white and red jersey. So he had to be referring to the road uniform.

We'll find out when the game comes out I guess.

The salaries cannot be correct, and I'm surprised to hear that contracts have the correct number of years because I was under the impression that wasn't allowed either...

I remember hearing that a while back, why would a game not be allowed to use actual contract numbers? Seems like a weird thing to prohibit.

I'm not really sure what you mean, when the game comes out can you explain it in more detail? (Assuming you aren't allowed to do it now?)

Braves Fan..........I had the same problem with '09 with the budgets and the fact that I could pretty much buy everyone in the first offseason. What Knight is alluding to I believe is that with 30 team control you can pretty much go through and release everyone and then re-sign them for the appropiate numbers/years. It will take some time and hopefully whoever is working on the budgets will incorporate this. In fact, Knight are you looking for volunteers on this?

One more thing...when I was playing at Fenway, fans actually came over the short wall down the line to try and get foul balls. You would see them stretched out over the wall trying to field groundballs that came down the line foul...it was impressive.

Oh, ok. Yeah that makes sense.

I want to get started right away, I really don't want to wait for the roster updates this year. I might have to do this myself.

It would have been hard to field with broadcast cam, especially since I have the traditional way perfected. Plus, I like to see the ball come off the bat for a second, and it wont let you do that if you choose broadcast cam.

So if you're not in broadcast cam, does that mean you won't get the broadcast style presentation and you'll automatically get the cut scenes? I'm just a bit confused with all the options. Thanks!

The camera and the presentation are two separate things.

The camera is how you view the plays playing out, the presentation happens after the play and before the next play.

Went back and played 3 innings again - this time in Atlanta (day) vs Houston. Let me say this - you can really tell the difference in outfielders. Arm strength has played a difference for a long time in this series but they've pretty much perfected it now. The meter matters too. When you throw full strength he's gonna throw with his whole body and if he's got a strong arm you'll be ok and if not he's on the ground and the ball is sailing in a bad direction. I like it!

Day games are also far more beautiful this year if you haven't figured that out already. The lighting is something to behold.

Just got back from my local Best Buy. With it being cold and snowy on a weekday, there was maybe five customers in the store. I played a day game between the Rangers and the Athletics, and all of the little changes make this game so much better than last years' version.

First of all, the Ballpark in Arlington looks absolutely beautiful, just as much as it does in real life. All of the banners are there, and the scoreboard in center is right for the first time I can remember in a video game. The only thing missing are the seats in section 201 were that stupid bell used to sit. Other than that, perfect.

The game was a 5-3 win for the Rangers, and it looked beautiful. The new camera angles really pull you into the game, and the sounds are fantastic. I had people reaching for balls over the wall, and I even had a replay on a ball that was ruled foul but was really fair.

There is a glitch (bit of a minor one though). When the players are running the bases on a play, the box showing the base they are on shows the players, but it doesn't show the numbers on the back of the jersey. Odd minor thing that really doesn't break the game.

I was sorta iffy if I really wanted to buy the game because the last one was so good, but I have to pick this up Tuesday. Simply amazing.

Interesting... probably just an oversight. We mentioned that one at community day.

You'll also notice that the pitchers won't have their jacket on in these same scenarios when running the bases.

When we brought that up they said the players never had their numbers in the runner window. I never checked 09 to see if that was the case.

Cool to know that y'all saw that. Again, it's not a major thing but it is noticeable. I wouldn't know about the Pitchers; I'm an AL guy.

EDIT: I guess they're right. My HDTV is small, but the one at Best Buy was large and I noticed it more.
