    No, discussing the lineup problem thread. I did the rosters for this game two years ago, did the roster for this game three years ago. Have a lot of time vested in the game. Does it tick me off a bit that it was in the game in the dev cycle, per Kushgamer, just a bit. His concern was QA. Guess it didn't make QA.
    No i hear you man. I guess to us it is something that is so essential to proper gameplay, yet it gets looked over more often than we would like. But as i said in the other thread, if i can get it right for the games that i play against a particular team its good under the circumstances...im more worried about the trade AI, bc last year there were some doozies!
    When you see it...you'll know what it is...

      Still have Microsoft Baseball. FPS? Not sure what this one was. I could kick myself for selling my Sega Genesis and my World Series Baseball collection. I've got a bunch of them in the garage in zip lock bags stashed away.

It adds to the whole story line of the season when a Pujols is traded for A-rod... I dunno *shrugs*
        Well, I do hope that the CPU makes logical trades and what-not (that does seem to be the elusive part), but yeah, I pretty much agree with the jist of what you're saying.

          You know how guys continually complain about the 'bat sound', repetitive presentation, or a bug that makes it unplayable? For me it's rosters. Maybe I need to sit down with Baa7 and go over some of my emotional issues................no, wait, that's a bad, bad choice.

            You should do it.

            I'd sit down and even manually record a weekly conversation between you and baa7.

              i am surprised at how much play the bat sound is getting myself...bc there was at least 14 things that i can rattle off that made me more upset than the bat sound...but thats just me. For me i think number 1 is stats realism, i wil l never foregt espn baseball 2k4 when i hit three HRs with Griffey per game, at least..or when in Madden 99 i used to have 750 yard receiving games with Keyshawn Johnson...those things irks me to no end as i get older...and to be honest with you i can see how rosters being screwed can be a close relative to those things as well.

                I'm with you in that minority. I love to see trades in my franchise regardless of what it is. Of coarse there are limits where there is 5 trades a day all the way to the trading deadline, then I would complain, but other than that it doesnt bother me.

                  I think there's actually a law against us doing this, but I'll have to look it up and get back to you.
