    You can't edit appearance on existing players. Not sure about minor leaguers. Haven't gone into franchise mode yet.


    That's the Mets' jersey, patch included. (Inaugural Season 2009)

        TJ, you are a brave soul. Have you tried zone hitting? If not, could you give it a whirl and so you can give us some impressions later on once you've had some time with the game? There would be a funky glowing orange bat icon on the screen... Here I found a pic:

          Hey Man,

          In one of the interviews with 2K, they were asked about the CPU fielders arm strength. I remember the developer indicated there was a slider for throw power or speed. Is there really one?

                This was posted in another thread but is a good question can you look into this?

                "Do you know or could you find out what happens in this example...

                I'm on defense and there is a hit to my second basemen and I miss play it and it rolls in the outfield between the Rf & Cf players, I hit (A) to take control of the fielder but it goes to the wrong guy so I hit (A) again to go to the other guy. Once my player fields the ball is he going to throw it home? I used the R stick to throw to 2nd and I pushed up on it but for some reason he threw it home?

                Since hitting A= select player and also throws to home, I am concerned about the pre-loading of throws on the buttons.

                Did I make any sense?

                Thanks Blitz"

                  TJ or chase,

                  My question(s) is this:

                  1. Are the graphics and lighting much better than the demo. It seemed like it was washed out a bit.

                  2. Is the black fade out and in between innings in the game or is there an actual transition?

                  3. You answered the pants question but I have to piggy back and ask you said there was a baggy, and a low set of pants. Does this mean like over the cleats low or is it more to the top of the cleat. And baggy, I guess the question is when you look at big pappi or better yet manny ramirez, does it look like him and the gear he wears or is it wierd lookin?

                  4. Did you find out if the himerun celebration animations with the teams were in b/c as eluded to earlier it was cut from the demo. Things like the bell animation in citiznes bank park and such. Did that change or is it bland

                    jaggies?

                    I've posted all the sliders in this thread already. Go look at my post history to find it.

                        When a player is coming to bat and they zoom in on him, does his shadow (from his helmet on his jersey for example) look jagged like it did in the demo, or is it smooth?

                            Don't tempt me. North Carolina is not that far. Oops quoted the wrong post. But I am sure you know what I am refering to.

                              Well, since you didn't play much of the demo, can you give some general impressions of the visuals with regard to player faces, animations, stadiums and field, etc

                                Just basically if your fielding the ball and want to switch guys is it going to pre load a throw home?
