Any questions?

FP, thanks for answering.

My questions:
- Pitch Counts; I think the reason for low human pitch counts is that the CPU didnt foul off enough balls, especially on 2 strikes. Has this been fixed ? if it has then i guess pitcher stamina would need to be tweaked to deal with the extra counts.
- Any plans for a "behind the fielder" view ?
- Postseason calendar; in 2k3 there wasnt one and the playoffs defaulted to a 3 man rotation. This is really unrealistic and a key dynamic of the playoffs is whether your starter can go on short rest. Is this aspect of the game factored in ?

Thanks again

1. We did make the CPU foul off more pitches. Is it in line with real MLB numbers? I really can't say.

2. ...

3. We still don't have a real calendar. I remember us doing something...maybe tweaking stamina recovery? but I'm not sure what it was.

Thanks for your time,

Am I correct to assume the minor leagues won't have simmed stats?

Have you fixed your stat engine to make simmed stats realistic?

Besides the new GM mode have any changes been made to the franchise mode

Will there be less "stars" in the amatuer draft this year

Will all the players from the amatuer draft have stellar speed and defense again - that was silly

Will the economic side of the game improve or be harder

Thanks for making the best sim baseball game last year for roto nuts

To be honest, I don't think most of this stuff has changed much from last year. We did fix some bugs, such as being able to unload overpriced players on CPU teams and to steal players with high potential for next to nothing, etc. but the basic systems are pretty much the same. GM Mode does make the economic part of things more difficult, because you'll have a spending limit imposed, profit goals to meet, etc. that will keep you from staying in the "win-make lots of money-get great players-win even more" cycle (even if that's how some teams really work).

Re: Any questions?

splash hits?

is great american ballpark fixed this year? for instance, different wall heights, different hitter's backdrop, the smoke-stacks?

are automatic replays fixed? last year, they all had matrix effects and would start way too late.

Re: Any questions?

Hey fatpitcher are there better fielding annimations like bad hops and two handed instead of one handed off balanced feilding.

Are the bats the same they looked a little unrealistic, do they have more detail like labels,tape,pinetar etc.

Do the baserunners round the bases instead of the sharpe turns.

Are there a variety of glove sizes for infeilders and outfeilders.
