Re: Beta Impressions Thread

Does the players faces and models look better,than last years?

Re: Beta Impressions Thread

Do the pitches move the way they are supposed to? Last year a change up and a slider were indistinguishable.

I wanted this one! My question is can you edit player faces and skin color? So we can edit Joe Young into Barry Bonds?

No - you can't. Everything else but that.

You'd have to create a new player. Skin tones and faces aren't separate in CAP, either.
There are 35 "heads" to choose from, and the vast majority of them are of real players. The closest match I could find for Barry was #26 - Reggie Sanders' noggin...

Otherwise, the editor is quite robust - similar to last year's.

Thanks for answering questions..

Have you seen any hit and runs from the cpu?

How are the triples?

Seeing any walks?

How's player progression of guys in the minor leagues?

Is Stan Musial in the game?

Can you take a practice swing when waiting for the pitcher to deliver? Or does it force you to take a full cut?

Does ESPN have variable strike zones? Or is it the same for everyone, resulting in the strike zone starting up around some players' chins?

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

1. Hit and runs? Not really, no. Steals, yes.

2. Triples are few and far between at this point. The OFs are awfully speedy.

3. You can draw walks if you're patient. I haven't thrown many though... even when nibbling at the corners. It's a lot like last year's in that regard.

4. Haven't been able to get too deeply into that yet. Sorry. It's on the list.

5. Yep, just like last year - on the Legends.
<font color="yellow">BTW - No more roster questions at this point, please. </font>

6. Like last year, practice swings are possible.

7. The strike zones appear to look the same for everyone, like last year's.

The Xbox version has - my understanding is that more time was necessary for Xbox Live tweaking.

1. Like last year, is it too easy to strike out batters?
2. Has the stealing bug been fixed?
3. Are you having fun with it?

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

1. IMHO, yes.

2. If you mean are they always successful, I'm not sure yet - I haven't seen enough CPU steals attempts to make a fair judgment at this point.

3. Not as much fun as I had hoped. The batting animations and vacuum gloves are bugging me right now...
