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

    I love: Working scoreboards, Stadium details, retro parks, generated counts. Great announcing.

    I dislike: A huge gap in the difficulty between zone and cursor hitting. I am stuck in the middle.
    No option for shorter seasons.
    I really have a hard time seeing the ball when it is on the ground (classic camera). I refuse to use the glow.
    Inability to edit teams like the Dodgers to be called Brooklyn and edit the players to be from the 40's.
    No TWIB music from the 80's.

      Dislike -

      Can't hit grounders down the foul line and lack of foulballs. This may be related to the weak accuracy of the bat-ball contact, which is another strong dislike. I'm able to make late (really late!) contact every time on zone or timing.

      CPU baserunning AI. I've seen doubles turned into singles more than a few times. Too many gunned down CPU basestealers, too.

      Graphical and gameplay glitches. See the "Bugs"/"Glitches" Sticky for a boatload of them.

      Lack of customizable replays.

      Everything else. Even pickup play is fun.

      Focus for ASB06: Fix graphical/gameplay glitches, better fielding angles, multiplayer franchises, more legends.

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

            I like the realism, its a lot more realistic this time than last I played (2003). I played the full ST already and liked the player development points that you earn. Now I'm midway through April, 11-6.

            I dont like the fielder cam. I use 2004 cam, fielder cam is too hard and kinda stinks to me. I use Zone Hitting, and I hate that you never foul a ball. I think I have never hit a foul ball yet! The other team does though. I dont like cursor batting either. All in all, fix the zone batting so that there are a little more grounders (I hit grounders at least but no fouls) and a little less fly balls and make batters foul the ball.

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

                  The good: I love the fact I can play in any stadium during my franchise games. I like the look and feel of the game. Really way to many things to mention.


                  The bad: I wish the AI would take the extra base all the time on balls hit to the wall. Also baserunning is a pain in the arse.

                  Thanks for a very fun game this year. I hope to see you guys next year with some problems solved. Keep up the good work.

                        The Good:
                        - expansion mode
                        - commentary
                        - AI pitching substitution patterns
                        - stadium tours
                        - price

                        The Bad:
                        - Baserunning is terrible (only played on Normal will try Classic)
                        - The Booklet doesn't explain enough, like the difference of baserunning, custom soundtracks, etc
                        - Custom Soundtracks for batters don't always work
                        - The Comp will only get a single for balls hit to the wall quickly (when a guy like Nomar hits a shot to the monster, in real life he's going to go for a double not a single)
                        - Poor Fielding Camera choices, you need to zoom the camera out more. Sometimes I can't see my OF's while chasing down the ball
                        - Why don't you let us do trades to keep rostes updated for exhibition modes? Not everybody has Xbox live.
                        - in TWIB give us more options instead of forcing us to use fielder cam. Also give us a retry button instead of having to load the situation up again.
                        - 9 inning games take too long to play. I'm averaging 45-50 mins a game without generated counts
                        - Very poor replay system (we need more options)
                        - There's no sliders in this game!! Give us sliders next year
                        - Zone hitting has way too many pop flys and hits up the middle (Right now I refuse to use cursor batting, I've always hated it)

                              Favorite Thing - Play by Play commentary and attempt to focus on realistic stats

                              Least Favorite - LACK OF WALKS - High Heat did a great job of this. Pitches need to be more random.
