    My main concern is Gameplay...Do you think the Gameplay is the same or dropped off.? Thanks for the impressions again ehehehe

    I think fielding's a tad smoother, and batting is much more fun without the cursor. It's incrementally improved, but not dramatically.

            Re: Beta Impressions Thread

            Not sure if answered this but it pertains to the pitches themselvs.

            Do good curveballs have alot of movement on them?

            Is the difference in speeds of pitches enough to be meaningufll and fool a batter, for example a fastball and changeup?

                  I do have a question though while I'm at it. In Situation Mode, can you go as deep as possible? Like, I think that MVP does... for instance, the count, number of outs, who's batting, who's on base, who's pitching, pitcher fatigue, etc. Does this game have that? Also, is there an option to just restart what you tried to do before in your situation, rather than quitting the game and setting it up all over again? Finally, can you use it in first person?

                  <hr /></blockquote><font class="post">

                  Situation mode...
                  You can choose:
                  - Starting inning (and top of bottom of it)
                  - Number of outs
                  - Home and away score
                  - Home and away batting order (by number in the order). For example "3" on the Yanks for A-Rod...
                  - Men on base.

                  The teams playing, of course - but that's it.
                  The pitchers will be the ace for the team, and there is no re-start ability - you need to set it up again to start over again.

                  No, you can't use it in first-person, either...
