    In game breaks (lets cut to the studio)!!!

    I remember in the Brinkman interviews, he discussed having a new feature in the presentation part of the game, where it will cut to the studio or what have you with Jeanne Zelasko and Steve Physioc in between innings (possibly pitching changes) and plays.

    What do you think it might be? Do you think it will be just spoken updates and scores, with actual game changing events that happened in other games? Or would they go one step further and show actual HIGHLIGHTS of a HR or a play that inning of another CPU game going on?

    Also, wouldn't it just be a shocker and rock if a milestone is reached, or about to, and they cut away in between a play or inning to try and get that coverage?

    Then again, it could just be insight to what is going on in the current game, kind of like the "down on the field" people local game casts have. Which would still be pretty neat as well.

    That would be cool if some of the scenarios you described would be in the game.
    NCAA Vets League: Arkansas Razorbacks (9-2, 6-1)
    MLB OS League: Seattle Mariners (9-2)

      In all honesty I'd watch it the first time I bought the game and then skip it every time after that.

        That kind of stuff would be VERY cool but it might get old if they only have a certain set of scenarios/scenes y'know?

          Well that is why I was thinking of different things that pop up, since the computer can draw up endless possibilities with the AI. Just like watching a CPU vs CPU game, it wont always be the same.

          It is probably more of them commenting on the current game, and like the field level reporters that said something about how "Papi was feeling, tightness in his buttocks but will still continue to play" or "A-rod was mad cause he couldn't find the right shade of pink for his lipstick"

            That wouldn't happen until games are actually simulated as your own game is going on, as opposed to before or after. I really wouldn't want something like that to be faked. (CHoops gets away with it because it only does a weekly show).

            Text sims do it (hello OOTP ), but the only graphical game I've ever seen do an in-game simulation of other games is an old Acclaim series - NHL Breakaway. You could watch on the ingame ticker as the clock counted down and the score changed, and then see a stat from the game after it went final. It was the best presentation element I'd seen in a game to that point - too bad the gameplay was dreadful.

              NFL 2K5 did it, didn't it?
              Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
              Sutcliffe comes through, and....
              Pa, see what you did to me?

                Not in-game, at least I don't think so - it had those highlights from other games on its weekly sportscenter wrapup, but the only highlights it had during a game were from the game currently being played. Which was still the coolest thing ever by that point, I might add.

                  Oh, yeah. I think you're right. They would do a weekly show that would show highlights from other games, if I recall correctly.

                      Someone should fire up NFL2k5 and capture this show for those who've never seen it.

                        Someone already did.

                        Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and

                            Wasn't it Madden 1994 that had the break away during the games that showed other games highlights?

                              It's mind-blowing. It seriously looks like a halftime show ESPN might broadcast.
