A. Is there a manage mode..????? I am not a thumb jockey..

B. In CPU vs CPU games.. What kind of scores are there.. IN ASB, the scoring was very low and that was a game killer for me. No Offense... Pitchers ERA's were way to low.. Never any walks.

C.. Is there a One pitch type of play...

D.. Most important, In CPU games, what are the pitch counts. DO you get any walks..???? Will the CPU make adjustments, Bunt, steal, sacrifice, Chang pitchers.. ??

E.. To me, CPU vs CPU games are the most important.. That is the heart of the game.. If the CPU plays realistic baseball, the Arcade style will be great and pretty realistic. If the CPU games don't play well... Then it will be very difficult to get any realism out of the game.

F.. In a simmed season, Do the stats come out realistic.?

1. No, but if you try out the assist options, I think you'll find settings that allow you to play the game but still get good results.

2. They are good on Pro difficulty. Since the game wasn't balanced with CPU vs CPU in mind, they may not be realistic at other difficulty levels.

3. No

4. I haven't looked at the pitch counts, but they seem good for both sides in human games, so they should come out fine. The box scores I've seen for CPU vs CPU games indicate that there are enough walks, but I wouldn't guarantee it unless I'd watched about 30 of them (and I haven't). The CPU does all the strategy stuff, although it probably doesn't bring in a lefty specialist to face one batter as often as real managers do.

5. Alright.

6. Yes, there are a few quirks, like when players are given a day off, they aren't really...they sometimes come in to pinch hit, resulting in a larger number of games played than you'd normally see. Players don't get benched to keep them from breaking the strikeout record a la Jose Hernandez, so sometimes you'll see players like Russell Branyan break 200 K's, which is not unreasonable if you project his performances thus far to a 600 AB season.

1. No
2. Yes (it's a bit different than last year's, though)
3. Pitching animations and batting waggles for 35 or so players.

1. I know it's been asked already, but I really want to know about the schedule from year to year--especially whether the inter-league schedule rotates.

2. I doubt you can, but is there any way you can do a position lock? For instance, where you play only the pitcher?

1. You play different teams every year now.

2. No
