    No doubt. That is a great interview. I give much proops to ASB for the love they showed for The Negro Leagues
    NFL:Packers
    MLB:Reds/Tigers
    NHL:Red Wings
    NCAA:Michigan Wolverines.
    F-1: Ferrari.

    It's been a while OS. Hope all are doing well!

      Re: Questions for ASB Man

      Is "the crouch" that the players fell into between their involvement in plays still there? That really turned me off, it made the game seem so linear.

                  Is the Crouch still there, all the time?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> The crouch is seen a LOT less. It was the transition point for most of the fielding motions...we went back in to the motions you see most often and changed it to a ready throw or a stand and it looks a lot better. I would have liked to have it removed 100% but it's a time/staffing issue. Last year you saw it about 2 times a play, now it's about 2 times a game. I played a game of ASB 2003 recently (my '04 copy was at work) and guys were squatting all over the place. It's much improved this year. <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  Will there be any celebration after big post-season wins?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> yes <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  Will the Expansion mode have new names and/or features?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> no new team names, but there's new additions. You can choose classic parks if you want, there's new uniforms, and the new audio with team specific chants are awesome. The "Woodpeckers" chant will be a fan favorite. "Wood" - "Peckers" in stereo
                  <font color="yellow"> </font>
                  Is there more control over minor leaguers/ability to see minor league stats?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> yes <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  In then years game, will we be able to turn off the comentary and still hear the homerun music and sounds as well as the batter walk up?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> not sure yet, I will look into it
                  <font color="yellow"> </font>
                  Will we be able to turn off the home run cut scenes? Has the crowd been improved?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> no, but they happen a lot less frequently. Yes, the look and sound of the crowd is improved.

                  <font color="yellow"> </font> yes <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  Is there a broadcast camera angle similar to the one in MVP or something close to it?
                  we have a lot more angles but we didn't want to have the exact same camera as EA.
                  can you hit from behind the pitcer view?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> yes <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  What are the changes to manage mode?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> we didn't change any 'manage only' features <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  How often will the rosters be updated on PS2?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> We don't know yet but opening day, all-star game, and trade deadline are all essential.
                  <font color="yellow"> </font>
                  Will the game support widescreen (16x9) TVs?

                  How much control will you have over replays?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> more than '04...the auto-replay doen't happen as often either.
                  <font color="yellow"> </font>
                  My major gripe with last year's game was the roster restrictions. It forced you to carry a certain number of each position. Has that been done away with?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> We improved this section a lot...it's lot more flexible. <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  Any chance of a fielding view like this? Even for manage only?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> tried it...the framerate was horrendous so we took it out. It would be cool <font color="yellow"> </font>

                  I would like to edit teams like the 27&amp;61 Yanks,75 Reds,55 Dodgers,74 A's,42 Cards,70 Orioles,etc...will this be possible along with their historical ballparks?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> You can do a lot with the player editor
                  <font color="yellow"> </font>
                  Is the Buck O'neil interview still in the game?
                  <font color="yellow"> </font> nope...I hope you held on to your '04 copy because it's the only time you'll ever see it. <font color="yellow"> </font>

                              Custom walk-up music? Are you kidding me? I WAS about to start up another season of ASB04 until I read all of this. The "Closest to perfect / ALL AROUND" basball game already seems outdated... Thanks for all of you efforts ASB Man &amp; crew.



                              Ps... Will Mussina's "In the stretch" hunch over be in the game?
