    I'm intrigued as well. It's been asked many times whether custom stadium/player music made the final cut and the answer has always been no. Screenshot #119 seems to prove otherwise, however. The remaining question is how robust are the editable playlists that we see (only Default and Sample are listed).

    Steve, is there any possibility you could look into the stadium beats/playlist editor?? TIA

    My guess is player specific walk-up music didn't make the cut, but Stadium beats did. I would be happy with only Stadium beats for this year as long as they bring player specific walk-up music back next year. It's one of the few things I loved from 2k5.
    OK, first of all, I can't figure out how to get music on the debug 360 to test it out. But it sure looks like if you have some music on the HD, you'd be able to use it. I mean, right now, since my drive is basically empty, there is only "Default Playlist and Sample Playlist". But there are quite a few empty spaces underneath, making me lean to saying you can grab music off the hard drive. But again, I can't test it, unless I can figure out how to get music files on this thing.

    For stadiums, you can select beats for solo homerun, 2-run homer, 3-run homer, grand slam, Top of inning over, end of game, between pitch(H) and (A), batter over, batter intro (H) and (A), single, double, triple, walk, action replays, home run derby, pause, pitcher intro (H) and (A), game intro and bottom of inning over.

    For players, it claims when you set the beat for the batter, it overrides the songs in the stadium beats, again making it seem like you can pull music from the HD.

    So, to put it bluntly... I don't know exactly what you can or can't do here. Sorry. But if I find a way to import music to this debug, I'll check back in.

      Measurements seem about right, but the actual home run derby is pretty stale.

        No worries.

The faces one is easy, because you can just press Left from the first face and you'll get the highest number. Last year it was a miserable 29.

            As for stances, I know that's a bit of a chore (toggling and counting), but I was just curious as to what number of stances we were looking at for this year. But I'm almost more interested in the number of generic stances, mostly because I want to know if we'll get any variation for the young stars (rookies, minor league players, etc).

            Thanks in advance for anything you can do.
            29 faces, a little over 200 sig. stances, give or take...as for generic batting stances, there are only these.

                  KushGamer,

                  Can you give any info in regards to editing the players that represent actual players but have false names? while we are able to edit those fake names, the announcers and p.a. announcer still say the fake name instead of the edited name. is there a special way that we need to edit those names other than just changing the name? Did the voice talent say the names of those players during recording sessions? Steve has already said that Kosuke Fukudome's name is not in the list of names. It just seems can of ridiculous to edit the names but the announcers are still saying the same fake names.

                    OK, figured it out. Yes, you can use custom music for all that stuff. You just have to be good w/ the importing of the music. I don't think I would have the patience for it. But yes, it definitely looks like it can be done. I ripped a track off one of my CD's, put it to David Ortiz walk up and I heard it in the background.

                        I thought this was addressed in last year's patch? If not, it was definitely a known issue - it worked in 2K6 i believe - so it should be fixed for 2K8. I can't confirm that though. Since no new audio was recorded with Jon and Joe, I doubt Fukudome will be pronounced though - maybe by the PA guy? It is possible that the audio guys spliced something together though, like I insisted they do for Robinson Cano after Jon Miller called him "Con - yo" two years in a row??!!

                                WTF...I don't care about throwbacks, but from looking at the screens, each team only has one alternate. That sux, this means there is no diamondbacks red jersey, brewers blue jersey, rockies black jersey, no bp jerseys. Instead of adding all those throwbacks, 2k should have spent their time creating the jerseys that teams actually wear....
