Re: Beta Impressions Thread

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..

Re: Beta Impressions Thread

Hmmm, i got one i guess

1. If you could only play 1 baseball game this year which would it be?

2. Double plays... Are they crisp and quick? I dont know if you played 989's MLB this year but i tohught they did DP's very nicely.

3. Infield animations in general, how are they? ex. throwing from knees, barehanding ball, pulling off the Jeter fade away from ss, any behind the back flips to 2b?

thnx in advance

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you think the zone type hitting system is flawed and don't produce realistic results couldn't you just change the option and go back to cursor hitting from last year, isn't this an option?

That is correct. Cursor hitting is an option.

Badgun, does this mean you're finally off of my back?

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.

I would like to know that when using zone hitting are you able to strike out .As with ASB zone hitting i never strike out

You can definitely strike out, but it is rather forgiving - even if you don't pick any direction when swinging. But certainly, if your timing is off or you're swinging at balls outside the zone - you will strike out.
