    Re: 2008 Official CES Question Thread

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. Two questions:

    1. Has AI Lineup Management and Transaction Logic (trades, promote/demote, etc.) been addressed?

    2. How about team overall ratings/rankings?

    Thanks again.

          I've read that they plan on getting rid of the moon and blimp camera shots, but are we going to see some more location-specific activities happening between innings? Being a Mets fan I'd like to see airplanes flying by or maybe they could show the construction of Citi Field out in center field. I found this video from 8 months ago on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mguLrGJBo8s
          The construction is much further along now. Also, please ask if we will definitely see Citi Field in the 2k9 version of the game. I know they've had issues getting new stadiums in games in the past. Maybe they can have it as a download for the 2k8 version?

            Oh and another question, it does pertain to franchise though - I figured it's still worth a shot. Once again, thanks.

            Has the statistical sim engine been touched/tweaked/ripped apart?

              One thing that I really liked about All Star Baseball 2003 was that you would play in the Cinergy Field that was well under construction, and you would see construction of Great American Ballpark in the background. Same with World Series Baseball 2K1 with Milwaukee County Stadium and Miller Park. That said, I would love to see that they do the same thing here.

              Only thing is, you're right... if we can progress into further construction or the new stadium somehow, it will almost look awkward with a static construction shot ten years into your franchise.

                All Star Baseball 2003 also had airplanes flying by at Shea stadium. I don't think any game that has come out since then has done this. You would think it would be a simple thing to do. Has the jump to HD been a leap backwards in content?

                  Could you please ask if the Pirates will be any good this year? haha
                  no, for real- being that I am from Pittsburgh, the city is a big part of PNC Park and many other stadiums for that matter-has there been anything done to make these cities in the back ground look real and not 2d cartoon like looking cities?

                  Look at PGR4 and other racing games-the detail with the cities are crazy! I would love to see a close up of the players coming out of the dug out to start the game into a stadium so detailed that you just have to take a second and appreciate the detail.

                    Not sure if these have been asked, only read the first half of this thread.

                    1) Player progression - do players get better/worse in franchise if they have good seasons the year before, specifically prospects? Seems like this is random in a lot of games.

                    2) Batting cameras - any changes?

                    3) Fielding - I know it's been improved ( I hope) but what is the throwing mechanic? Are there big differences between David Ortiz and Mark Teixeira?

                    4) Pitching - I'm sure everyone wants to know if it's easier to walk people without trying, with slider adjustments.

                      Is there any change with the lighting system? Is day-night progression with shadows covering the field as the game goes along still in there?

                      Are there any weather effects? Better looking rain, more realistic jersey movements with the wind?

                        Is the commentary good? (and still Joe Morgan, Jon Miller, and Jeannie Zelasko?)

                        Did they upgrade the pregame show?

                          is there any mode that you guys haven't announced yet or didn't get a chance to do this year and will look into for next year? *cough*careermode*cough*

                              Keep those questions coming.. I leave for CES in approximately 12 hours.

                                will you be updating from the show or at night when you get home?
