Any questions?

Re: Any questions?

I have a question about online play:

When you're pitching, will your opponent be able to see your effort meter?

Hey FatPitcher, I have a question about the Big League Challenge. Last year was the first time I have ever liked a Hone Run Derby in any video game. Did anything change for this mode this year? One thing I think would make it a slight bit better is if we had the option to watch the other player take his cuts.

Thanks,

John

Nevermind, I must have missed the part where Big League Challenge was omitted this year. Too bad I think as it seem to be the most realistic Home Run Derby that I had seen to date. I also liked the fact of being able to put old timers against each other like they did in 1960. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Re: Any questions?

I haven't seen anything about it, maybe I missed it, but is the strike zone going to be any smaller this year? The last two years it has been a little too big. If the CPU hit the up and in or low and away corner it was simply unhittable. Then when you looked at the replay the ball was either 6 inches off the ground or two inches away from your forehead. This was especially annoying when playing on Legend because the CPU barely throws balls down the heart of the plate and paints the black on pitches that would never be strikes in real life.

No, you can't use updated rosters online. The problem here is making sure both people have the exact same roster file. Same deal as the problem with custom playbooks in NFL2K3, if I remember correctly. It sounds like a simple thing, but it's definitely not. We're aware that people want to use updated rosters, though, and will do our best to make this happen in future versions.

<hr /></blockquote>

I have just gone and cancelled my pre-order for this game. It amazes me and angers me when i hear that VC still hasn't incorporate this after being the part of the online gaming revolution. Almost 5 years in having online play in all their games and roster usage online is still not possible. Seriously now, how lazy is that? These are excuses that are just not acceptable anymore. Even if they were to be true it would only apply to online play on the PS2 due to lack of harddrive.

Xbox LIVE enables companies to use mandatory Downloads so that all users play with the current settings, maps, etc.

Again...an excuse that the public doesnt understand and hasn't been cleared by VC WHY we cant use it even on Xbox LIVE with no MANDATORY usage by all users. Do you actually believe that users wouldn't mind you(VC) making it mandatory for all online users? Seriously. It's like VC takes a step forward but always(meaning past 2 years) shoots themselves in the foot in some way.

Make it mandatory please. I'm begging you. Others are begging you. No one likes sports game online with starting day rosters half-way thru the season. This is insane. Please tell me VC will make this "MANDATORY". You can even run a poll and see that people would rather still play a sports with all it's graphics flaws but with current roster then a game with starting day rosters. This affects leagues, players that only play online, and loyal fans that can't believe that this is still going on.

 Can you please FatPitcher get someone in VC to make the use of rosters MANDATORY atleast on Xbox LIVE? Again...i'm begging you. If VC cant do this i will just have to buy ASB just because the game can have updated rosters online. At the moment i would rather deal with gameplay issues ASB has but still be able to use current rosters online.

Even loyal followers get tired of crap like this by any company. Enough is enough sometimes.

Clearly you can see that im talking about online roster use. Downloading rosters is good and but being able to use them online and offline is better.
