    Re: New WSB preview from IGN:

    I don't understand why they only fixed the lower part of the strikezone.

    My huge issue was the top part. I'd see pitches come close to my player's head called for strikes. You had to hack at high and tight pitches b/c they were called strikes.

    Hopefully they fixed that too. I think the entire strikezone was just too huge.

            Why do you think they only fixed the bottom part of the strike zone? I hope that is not true, it was armpits to ankles last year. That was one of the main problems with not being able to draw walks!

                    I say only the bottom part b/c that's all they mentioned. Never was the topic of the strike zone being too huge mentioned at all. They just said, "we fixed the lower part of the strike zone."

                            WSK 2K2 the swinging motion was so out of wack it seemed so cartoony and the head is so stiff, ASB had fluider motion i jope they fixed it plus i hate the green color on the navigation and the freeagents were always player that dont exist pleeze fix the announcing and the ball physics i had his game last yr and i though it sucked asb was better imo i also hate the cursor they should have an optionm to turn it off alla asb. the graphics maybe nice but gameplay is the most important like back in the genesis wsb days grapihics werent important but the gameplay was likee nba 2k3 they need to leave the graphics alone and focus their energy on the gameplay.

                                    last year you could make the WSB cursore really big if you wanted. You didn't even have to move it to hit. It was like there was no cursor.

                                                    I loved WSB for the Xbox. Sure it had it's issues like any other game out. If you were patient enough you would get walks. There were base running issues but I never had a problem with the CPU scoring points like people say they did. Triple Play was a crappy game but like someone else mentioned they did have good HR replays and cut scenes. The trade logic in WSB was freekin evil and the ESPN license was missing. I don't care what anybody say but Sega having that ESPN license kind of makes it harder to enjoy other sports games w/o it. Too bad Madden doesn't work for Fox any more.

                                                    After watching some of the videos it looks like they're using better lighting effects. the day games look like day games. Last year IMO nothing changed but the color of the sky. I owned all the of console versions of WSB and still do. The only bad game IMO was WSB2K1 for the Dreamcast. Looks like WSB2K3 will be getting my hard earned money (already paid for anyway) again.

                                                            Did you get all of that? If so, could someone explain it for me?

                                                            No Sh!t, if that dude talks like he writes, he would have me exhausted just listening to him. Mix in a period or 2 and a complete sentence.
