    Re: Beta Impressions Thread

    shawn, do the infielder still make the shallow outfield catches with their heads wagging?

    as far as hitting, it was described as being a 3D type zone hitting, have you seen that?
    is it default? or do you have to choose it?

    do the pitchers tire reasonably? do the CPU pitchers provide a good challenge?

    you say everything looks and feels the same. since this game didn't need huge overhauls, is it a game that will show the improvement the more you play it? for axample, will the changes be nuances in CPU management and AI regarding stealing, pitching out and defensive adjustments?

    i am looking for a game that makes you manage and think.

      I have asked this question at least 20 times in different post.. It has never been directly answered, It has been answered in round about ways. But I would like a straight up answer.. And if it has been answered and I have missed it and please accept my apology.

      Once again.. What kind of scores are there in CPU vs CPU games. do they get some hits.. Are there some blow outs.

      Has the lack of Walks, hits, Low pitchers ERA's been addressed..???

      I asked this question several times about MVP on their board.. It never got answered.. Now I know why it was avoided. Because CPU vs. CPU games are pretty much all 2 to 1... Very low offense... Same problem as ASB had last year..

      If someone would have answered me, I might not have spent 40 bucks on the game. I am not a thumb jockey, I am a GM type player and just want to Manage, or GM my career league. Just set back and watch all my decisions unfold before my eyes...

      I am not interested in Arcade style of play.. ( maybe a few games ) my only purpose for getting this game would be for Gm mode and realistic game play between the CPU vs CPU.. and of course realistic stats.

      I have asked this same question on the other boards only to have it passed over several times.

      Thanks in advance if you can answer this.

            Shawn,

            Is the time it takes for the CPU pitcher to deliver the ball any faster this year, it seemed to be a little faster in the demo I played, is the beta at all comparable to the demo?

            The length of games killed it for me last year, is their an improvement.

                  We're expecting a new beta any day now, but I'll answer questions based on the latest version we have at the moment.

                        Shawn,

                        1. Is it still to easy to strike out the batter when pitching?
                        2. Is the new batting interface better than last year's cursor?
                        3. Are the graphics much different?
                        4. Is the confidence meter, turbo run, etc. worthwhile (I think it would take away from the sim feel)

                        5. Can we see more of the ball parks?
                        6. Do pitchers warm up in the bullpen during the game (a la ASB)
                        7. Any broken bat animations?
                        8. Is the BTP CAM any differnt this year?

                              Well, a couple questions i have off the top of my head:

                              1. What's the fastest pitch speed or setting?

                              2. What authentic HR celebrations are there? Do they have Bernie and his slide for Brewers HR's? Sammy Sosa's hop?

                              3. Do players celebrate at home plate after walk-off homeruns?

                              4. Does Nomar do his "Rain Man" routine at bat?

                              5. Are there any REAL FANCY double plays?

                              6. Is the crowd awkwardly silent?
