      Pretty much all 360 games load faster from the HDD and it can make the gameplay smoother for some games. Plus it saves your DVD drive from having to spin the whole time you're playing, so less wear and tear. It's quieter too, and probably generates less heat as well.

      Majority of games are around 6.8 GB

        Chase,
        In Franchise mode, do they have a Hall of fame section and do they have a record book section with all-time and team records as well?

        Thanks

          3-1 count sounds promising.

          What difficulty level are you playing on?? (Default sliders?)

          What are the pitch counts looking like?? (Does the AI throw balls?? Does the AI take strikes?? etc.)

          Is there any way for you to see who/what was updated with the Living Roster update TJ mentioned before??

          Did any player portraits get updated (and their hats changed to the correct team)?? Griffey Jr., Burrell, Trevor Hoffmann, Sabathia, Burnett, Teixeira etc.

          Thanks for doing this, BTW!!

            Are the online servers up? And if so, any chance you could get online (maybe with TJ) and play a game and let us know if it's improved over last year?

            Last year it was impossible to hit because you had to swing while the ball was still being pitched. I'm sure a lot of us would like to know if it's indeed just like playing offline like the dev's have said.

            Thanks!

              Will there be a batting camera from the pitcher's view like on a TV broadcast?

                Sorry guys, have to ask this one...




                In a day game (1:00 start time), is it dark by the ninth inning?

                  3. Is the "jerk" into the batting stance animation cleaned up?

                  4. If last years, more challenging pitching mechanic is still an option, if you miss your gesture do you throw a meatball or just miss your spot?
                  1. As in the promo form where the voice plays over the two teams? Yes.

                  2. I don't see them in the stadium selection screen when I do exhibition matches.

                  3. I assume you mean after they finish doing their sig walk up or whatever? I still see that Utley for example has a little hitch as he gets into his stance after his sig walk up if that's what you mean.

                  They have an Alt 2, which has DC on them and the DC colored in American-flag style. Is that them?

                  2. -Are there more pitcher and batting camera options than last years game?

                  3. -Overall feel of the final in comparison to the Demo?...Same?..differences?...better?
                  1. Nope, still just throw it back and forth.

                  2. For pitching and hitting the two default cameras are behind hitter or behind pitcher. Then you can change zoom, side, height, position on those two cameras.

                  3. Hard to say at this point. It doesn't feel drastically different one way or the other for me. But it's hard to gauge a full game against a three inning demo.

                  I didn't even realize that it had gone gold already.
                  Yes.

                  2. -How are the replays on viewing HR's? Can you get a good angle showing where the ball lands and does the ball deflect off the scenery beyond the fence or just dissappear?
                  Seen them after HRs. Haven't really made many nice D plays yet. Also, there is the replay frequency option, which may play a part in it. I'm going to turn it up to high for next game.


                  PS - Can I just say the first two songs I heard in this game soundtrack made me think I was back in middle school again.

                  Definitely remember going to school dances where that sh!t was blasting.

                  In TJ's case, Final Countdown probably made him think back to when he was in his 30s and thought mullets were cool, Old F.

                    That's cool about the soundtrack. I got real excited when I heard "You Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest after a Phillies homer in the demo.

                          I would have liked the soundtrack to have some Britney Spears.

                            Chase...still wondering if you notice differences in the AI hitting approach? Obviously you just got it, but if you have time could you fool with sliders or at least up difficulty to see what, if anything, changes? No rush, but it's a hot button issue for this game, IMO. Thanks

                              Yes, what he said

                              And please let us know what difficulty you're playing on.

                                There are plans to get an online game going. I've been talking with Bryan "PastaPadre" and if the game is waiting for him when he gets home from work, then we will hopefully play online tonight.
