Can you control your fielders with the D-Pad or just the Left Stick ?

COME ON DAMN I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY JUST ANSWER IT .

Since you asked so nicely, I'll just ....
Oh. Wait. You didn't.

But since I work for you, and need to get to it ....
Oh. Wait. I don't.

But since I'd like you to shut up about it:
Yes. You can control your fielder with the D-Pad.

hitting is definitely not as easy as it was last year because this year the game engine doent seem to give you the 'gimme' contact of the ball when your cursor is near a pitch like it did last year. this year, you need to really put the cursor on the ball and the cursor sweet spots seem to be smaller...more challenging.

You're telling me the cursor batting is HARDER than past versions? Oh Boy! This along with pinpoint pitching control will keep me away from this game ( I will absolutely miss all those cool features)

They also hacve tours for the future stadium (actually, all the stadiums have tours). It was mad cool to see a full tour of where the Phillies will be playing.

A neat touch is that you can do tours when selecting a stadium for Expansion mode. Instead of picking blindly, you can really get a good sense of wether this is where you want to play.

Re: All Star Baseball... First Impressions & Questions for those with the game

Can someone go to Franchise mode, and see if you can select more than one team for Franchise mode? In other words can I be the Mets, and my brother be the Yankees in the same Franchise?

Also can you give some more details about the franchise mode? This sounded absolutely incredible !

There are still 3 other batting modes, give em a try. Sounds like Zone hitting is on the same lines as HH so that might fit your fancy. Keep in mind, everyones opinions of "hard" are different.

You can turn off the pitching location icon and this makes picthing much more inexact. Also, Guru just informed me that the exaggerated pitches are slower with more break, and easier to hit with the cursor. I will be trying that. Don't give up on the game that easily. At least rent it if you can. You may be very surprised.

It ain't pinpoint. I'm throwing fastballs with Wood, and trying to paint the corners. It's not happening. The cursor isn't exactly where the throw goes, and the strike zone is real fuzzy.
