    Yeah, I played it. What I mean is, will it run while you play? Does it show anything more than the score, like how someone's pitching or hitting?

      Hey Shawn, got some questions for you.

      1. How is the stealing this year? Are you getting thrown out more than last year?

      2. Does the confidence meter actually affect your players performance? Or it basically just for looks? And is there an option to turn it off.

      3. Don't know if you can answer this, but whats some strong points that ESPN has compared to the other games out?

      Thanks for reading..

      1. I would suggest that you try the ones that interest you and decide for yourself what you like best.
      2. They're the same as last year, fast and smooth.
      3. There are some nice new animations this year in the field. They don't come up as often as I'd hope, but they're good.

            It runs when nothing's happening - like if you set your controller down - and then it shows scores, and top player stats, like "ESPN NFL".

                        Guys get thrown out more than they used to. It still feels a little steal-friendly, but it's certainly improved from the near-automatic steals of last year's version.

                        The Franchise mode is essentially the same as last year's version. The presentation's a little better, but the menus and options for the nuts and bolts of Franchise mode are the same as before.

                        Thanks Shawn, I appreciate you answering the steal question. Here's another one and it's kind of broad and really subject to your opinion, but here goes:

                        Obviously, you haven't messed with sliders yet so I realize a lot of things like steal tendencies and such could be adjusted later, but what have you seen or not seen than makes the game so "ho hum" to you?

                        Are there any glaring problems that plague the game? I just sense that the game is not doing much for you even though it seems improved from last year.

                        So why is that you don't seem as thrilled over ESPN as you did with MVP? I'm not asking you to compare the two, just looking for an overall feel of ESPN.

                        Thanks

                              Hi, got another question Hil over at IGN is indicating that the gameplay has taken a back step in this year's version, do you feel the same or does it feel very similar to last year?

                              What about the problem with balls rolling to the wall all the time is this even on balls that are not hit hard (Almost like there is no friction slowing the ball down in the outfield?)
