1. The rosters and being able to control all teams for roster accuracy during the season.

2. Animations that weren't fixed (squat, throwing out of the back of the head, big infield windups) along with several other graphical bugs.

Re: For those who have played for a week may I ask...

Favorite things: The improved offense in all modes
The best baseball atmosphere of any game/ dressed stadiums for special games, pitchers wearing jackets early in the year, the Wrigley ivy changing as the year moves on
The commentary....second to none
The working scoreboards and the SPORTS TICKER!!! Thanks ASB
Excellent CPU AI
The most options available for franchises

Things that need fixing: Animations....there are quite a few quirky ones
Roster management...we really need to be able to make any change any time
Although the editor is improved...we need to be able to edit EVERYTHING
The letter grades for attributes...1there is not enough room for editing...we need a number scale from 0-100.

Re: For those who have played for a week may I ask...

Love - The franchise mode, the smart generated counts, and the reaslitic game play and stats. I can play one game and win 7-6 and play another and lose 2-1. Love the fact that players play like they should (pitchers that aren't good, don't play well).

Needs improvements - Zone hitting is that bad when you use generated counts because a lot of times you only have one swing to make it work. So you can just wait on an inside or upper pitch. However, I have noticed a lack of groundballs. Is it just me? It seems like with zone hitting that everything is a fly ball or hit up the middle. I am lucky if my shortstop makes more than 3 plays a game. Also could use some improvement in the animations. This game is also begging for sliders. But considering they don't have them it holds up pretty well.

This is a solid game and between this and MVP, I think gets more realistic results when played. Not saying it is more fun, but it defintely plays a more realsitic blend of baseball.

Re: For those who have played for a week may I ask...

Favorite- Expansion/Franchise mode

Least favorite- Not being able to use anything other than fielder cam and not being able to use zone hitting above rookie level in online games.

Re: For those who have played for a week may I ask...

By the way, great game!!! It's hard to narrow it down to just one thing...

Fav's:
Fielder cam and broadcast cam are great!
Franchise rocks!!!
Gameplay is realistic and fun.

Dislikes:
I cant get the baserunning thing down (but I haven't tried classic yet).
I was really looking forward to zone batting but I don't think it is as good as it could be.
