FatPitcher, i have the demo and am playing the original BTP view you have from last year. but the game is also displaying another BTP view in cutscenes, when a new batter is up to bat, which is more of a deadcenter cam. will this one be playable too?

<hr /></blockquote>
No.

All our new cutscenes use very accurate "broadcast camera" locations, but the gameplay cams are different so that we don't have any problems with HUD placement, players being obstructed by meters and each other, etc.

Will the injury issue be fixed? Way too many injuries under questionable circumstances in last year's game.

Will this be addressed in ESPN?

Yes, the injury system has been upgraded substantially from last year. Players only get injured when they do something that would get a person injured...throwing a pitch, covering a base that a runner slid into, running the bases, diving, getting hit by a pitch, etc. Also, injury types correspond to whatever the player was doing when he got hurt. So you won't see a guy who just got a single leave with a concussion.

Just one question...

Are bunts fielded better this year? Last year, I would get way too many singles off of bunts that were intended to be sacrifice bunts. I just stopped bunting because it was an easy way to get a hit.

Thanks.

<hr /></blockquote>

Yes, and runners are a bit slower to get to first. You can still make it to first safely if you put one down in a really good spot, but it's much rarer than last year.

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!

It depends on the pitcher's stamina rating and how much effort you are putting into your pitches. Last year we allowed you to put in more effort, but we didn't display it graphically. We've lowered the amount of extra stamina it costs to throw a pitch with max effort, so pitchers should last a bit longer than last year.
