Scott McClellan stepped down this past week, you might want to send your resume' into the White House for the open Press Secretary position. I've owned every console baseball title since '98...this is the only one which shipped broken.

That's weird, my game isn't broken

Re: Candyman Reviews MLB2K6 360

I'm just curious. In your opinion, what kind of strategy does Inside Edge give you? I'm not bashing it by any means, but I am intrested in knowing how the CPU calling pitches for you "adds strategy"???? He's telling you were to pitch the ball and you pitch it there. Basically what this means to me is you don't have to think. To create strategy you have to think. If you're not thinking then your not strategizing. To me this is really no different then having the CPU pitch for you.

Not exactly true. The IE pitch calling is not 100 percent. I've put that ball where they said and got smoked. You have to decide if you're going with the IE or if you wanna call it off and pitch somewhere else.

Not to mention IE is sooooo much more than showing you were to pitch. The detail of the scouting reports for example you would know player a likes to jump at fastballs early in the count. You might know he chases pitches down and away late in the count. You might see that a guy pulls ground balls, but hits flyballs opposite more, so you adjust you defense.

The depth of the scouting reports is soo deep, that saying it's just the CPU telling you where to pitch doesn't do it anyhing near the justice it deserves.

Nice page mman19. The stats seem to look good after 7 games. I f your offensive #'s stay looking high after another 5 games, lower Human Power to 23.

Personally, I don't know numbers like that in baseball, but that page is on point. If I could get a page like that for my college and nba joint, I'd get down with it. Don't have time like that anyhow though, but I'm definitely checking yoru joint out.

By the way, I didn't know Kush was on this game for that long. Technically, how long have they been the head of the game during the developing process??

Preach it brother! LOL, I forgot all about that. I didn't even know that stuff was in there till the other day when I was looking through my franchise and saw all that stuff. I know there's no way I'm going to be able to use all the details they give you. But to say it's "letting the computer pitch for you" is a severe understatement, it couldn't be farther from the truth. Also you can get IE on pitchers also. So if you're up to bat you can get some "signs" from the batting coach (if you think of it like that) about what could possibly come. Although I find that it's better for me to use my points for my pitching staff to get the edge.

One thing I didn't realize. If you go to game history, you can scroll through the results of all the atbats. If select an At bat and hit a you can watch a replay of the at bat. So basically you can watch a replay of any at bat in the game.

Wow, good find there. Didn't know that. Man this thing must be using a HUGE chunk of harddrive space.

It even gives you the option to save screenshots from the replay from any angle/depth whatever.

Of course, batting coaches don't give pitch signs to hitters though.

Personally I don't like IE turned on during the game for me (it's on for the CPU batters/pitchers though). I don't want to know the % of a pitch that's coming and I don't want my catchers calling the game. I'm already shutting down the CPU hitters (bigfnjoe's sliders and Heelfan's) just by using my advanced knowledge of pitching.

With that said, with it turned off during games, it still gives you all the information mentioned on each players card. I can check the lineup to see data on my batters/pitchers and the CPU batters/pitchers. That's what I wanted from day 1. Not a crutch to show some how to pitch.

The game history feature is cool. I saw it while messing around. Very nice feature if one wants to go back to see a sequence of play(s).

Re: Candyman Reviews MLB2K6 360

Your review is pretty good, the only thing I don't understand is why everyone is calling for KUSH's head, when this is there 1st FULL DEVELOPMENT CYCLE with this title. Last year they basically changed alot of what Blue Shift did in less than 8 month's.

I personally would give them another DEVELOPMENT CYCLE, before calling for their heads. That's me though..

JOe, the bottom line, KUSH is just bad, remember when they made the hokey at one point, they killes it. KUSH does need to be fired.

I'm pissed now.

This game keeps on locking up my system, I'm done with MLB2K6 for good. The first copy of the game never froze on me, but I lost replays. Now it just freezes like no tomorrow.

I'm sticking with MLB06, I wanted 2 bball games but I guess not.

KUSH has a lot to do with it, but so does MS w/ this cache issue that they need to figure out.

Re: Candyman Reviews MLB2K6 360

What we have this year is a gr-8 start.

Is "a gr-8 start" worth $60?

I'm not disagreeing - there's some good ideas here. But personally, I'd rather buy a finished product.

So ... still think it's a 6.5? Better than average? Might be worth a purchase for baseball fans?
