Agreed, people should be free to create any and all types of players they want without limitations.

People are excited about the sliders, but personally, what if I want a powerful player who is also fast? It seems it has to be one way or the other, which is also limiting.

If you want to create a powerful player who is fast crank up the power and speed sliders.

The slider sets are just how your player starts out once your in the mode you can dump points into any category. You can't make a monster in the first year.

Russell, when you create a RTTS player and lets say i use the sliders to make him start out as a power hitter, how much power does that add, will i start out hitting 30 homers the first season or what. how does that work?

Very psyched about the RTTS overhaul... I've never been a big fan of the goals system... especially because some of them are either silly - or get in the way of playing the game. One thing I also hope they fix/change - the baserunning system! I didn't play MLB 10 at all... but in 09 - A. it was too easy to get picked off or caught stealing (even after I got my guy to be a 99 speed), and B. trying to run after the ball was hit was very frustrating - half the time, i'd end up going back towards the base first. The controls for running shouldn't change based on a vantage point - advancing to the next base should always be one direction, and going back to the base should be the other direction - Always! It gets too confusing otherwise - and you end up going back to a base when you don't mean to.

I thought power and speed were on one slider, where you can either move your player towards being faster or stronger, but it will be at the expense of the other? That's not the case? They aren't tied together?

Hope they add the ability to add your own face into the game using the PSEye. That would certainly make the mode much more enjoyable.

I could be wrong, but I think the means the gameplay sliders.

So this mean that for example if i create a pitcher i wont need to upgrade his batting abilities and it will just show pitching attributes or its something different?

I think this is a great idea, I would definitely second this.

The sliders for position players are speed vs. strength, power vs. contact, and glove vs. arm.

Is speed vs strength like an overall modifier (affecting multiple attributes one way or the other) or it's own new section separate from ratings?

In other words if I choose arm and power will strength provide a boost for those as well, or affect it's own attributes? I ask because speed seems pretty straight forward, but it seems strength overlaps more with the other attributes. Just curious.

Another RTTS question ...

I assume you can use analog controls in RTTS, I'm wondering though, are the controls just flipped when you are in the field (when the camera is normally behind you) ??

I believe that's how it worked with the buttons in RTTS, so I'm assuming the same switch is made for the analog?

I am going to go out on a limb and say yes.

Last year you could actually select button configuration/perspective (classic vs. player relative) - I would think that was still in, and applicable when using analog too.

I wish they would over haul franchise mode. I have no interest in RTTS.

This! I don't think they overhauled franchise this year (just a guess of course) because of the new control system, weather, etc. Now, I could be wrong (which I hope I am) but franchise is all I play. I am praying we see at least a playable Single-A club this year. If they add single-A, fixed trade logic and budgets I will be a happy man.
