Re: Any questions?
Will the pitchers have realistic pitch counts or will they get fatigued after about 80 or 90 pitches. I know this can happen in real life but it seems like this is a little out of whack.
Thanks for answering our questions!

Frenchise mode was designed as a single player experience - there just aren't that many people who want to watch for an hour as their friends browse stat pages and flip through other teams' rosters. As a result, most of the various pages, the control scheme, the AI, etc. assume that only one team is under human control. It would take a pretty significant amount of time to fix this, which means less attention to other areas of the game.Comment

Yeah, we actually spent a lot of time reducing the animation "jitter", though there are still a few that look a bit jerky.Comment

The "zone" hitting (it's not really, we call it "cursorless" around here for lack of a better term) works out pretty well. Since it's more intuitive (and therefore easier) than cursor, we sped up pitch speeds to compensate. On every difficulty level except Rookie, pitches come at actual speed (i.e. a 97MPH fastball is moving at 97 MPH). There's an option to slow it down if you want, though. Increasing difficulty (or using crappy hitters) will require you to aim more precisely to make good contact (or contact at all). Hit variety with this mechanism is better than last year, since we've also tweaked the batted ball physics (i.e. bridging the gap between contact and power swings so that they aren't as different from each other as they were last year).

How do you "aim" with a cursorless interface? I loved your no cursor approach last year, very similar to High Heat. Has it changed much?Comment
