Any questions?

Re: Any questions?

Have the World Series celebrations improved in ESPN? In 2k3, the WS celebration was really weak, making it feel like playing through a whole season was a waste of time.

- Career stats with crated players are tracked how? Year to Year, cumulative, both?

- Can you break MLB Records and will you KNOW it when you do. For example, on HR 756 of Rat Bastard's career, will the announcers say something, will there be some kind of stat overlay or will nothing happen at all?

- Is there a limit to the number of years you can do in franchise mode?

- How many new camera views have been added? I hated last years camera cuz it seemed too low all the time and you NEVER got to see the stadiums in all their glory. Has this been fixed this year?

Thanks for taking to time to answer our questions like last year. It is VERY much appreciated.

1. Both, like last year.
2. Both announcers and an on-screen message. Sometimes a stat overlay, too, but I don't know if we have stat overlays for ALL of them. There are a bunch of career, season, and single-game records you can break.
3. Not in franchise mode. GM Career lasts for a maximum of 30 years.
4. There's been a lot of changes to the cameras, but they are generally set up to show the action on the field better, rather than the stadiums. The cut-scenes do a pretty good job of showing off the stadiums, though.

Re: Any questions?

Fat Pitcher,

Thanks for answering our questions. Here are a few more.

1. Has the strike zone been shrunk some? It was frustrating last year when obvious balls were called strikes.
2. Is there weather in the game?
3. Is the CPU more aggressive on the basepaths? Last season, they would not move runners from second to third on hits to the right side of the infield. The CPU would often end up with 4 runs on 15 hits. Obviously , this was disproportionate.
4. Is it possible to walk a little more? I would walk, but probably not enough.
5. Are human pitchers a little more wild? CPU batters didn't seem to walk enough.
6. Do you have working scoreboards?
7. Do foul balls ever go back toward the backstop? I don't recall this last year.


Thanks again.....

Please try an answer faster next time.

Thanks again for all the info. WSB 2K3 was my favorite game last year cuz the franchise mode was simply amazing(player loyalty, hiring/firing asst. coaches, etc.) Huge replay value cuz of it.

Which reminds me... Anything new to the way assistant coaches are hired/fired/have an impact on the players? Sometimes I spent more time checking on coaches than players.

Thanks.

Re: Any questions?
