After watching the diving play video on ign many times, I noticed that there were 4 umps, like for home, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Was this in 2k7? I only remmeber an ump for home(of course) and maybe 1st, but definantly not the one on second.

Re: Multiple Umps?
Of course there were 4 umpires in 2K7!!
4 umpires isn't anything new, it's been in baseball games since 1988... -

Ha, that's not what he means Rob.
Yes, in 2k7 the umpires were identified by name on all of the bases.
The only thing I didn't notice from 2k7 was a rotation. I'd see the same home plate umpires but never saw a 1B umpire switch to cover home. Or if it happened it was extremely rare."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Multiple Umps?
Nowhere in his post or in the title did he say ANYTHING about names.
He said in the "Diving Play" video. The umpires names aren't shown in the diving play video.
And why would he think the HP ump and 1B ump have names, and the other 2 don't? He's clearly saying he saw the HP and 1B umps in last years game, but not the others.Last edited by Rob_NYY; 01-26-2008, 09:42 PM.Comment
