    I've bought and returned MVP due to many things I disliked. But, the slider's just as in every game don't work. I thought that there were to many hits happening from inning to inning. So I moved the contact/power slider for the CPU to -10. I wanted a few less hits but I didn't want to dominate the computer so I moved the sliders gradually. Well after a few more attempts at what seemed to be no change in gameplay, I had the slider's set at contact/power -50. Guess what, no change even at minus 50 they were still whacking the ball all over the field. So much for "slider's"!

    You're kidding, right?

    It's one thing to claim the steal rate slider has no effect on the game (b/c it doesn't ) but the CPU contact slider?

    There's def. no credibility in your statement. It's one thing to not like a game, it's another to post false information.

    <hr /></blockquote><font class="post">Listen here, I know what I know because I had ample time to play with the slider's to see if there was a difference and there wasn't! IMO, I saw no major difference. Who's to say that "your" scientific research and or studies hold any merit? I don't think your data holds any "Cred"! When the games got a guy with 20 to 30 contact and maybe 30 to 35 power he shouldn't be roping the ball down the lines and hitting for power in the gaps! It just doesn't happen? Not 3 or 4 times by the same batter during the same game. These players have not done this in "real life" baseball, but on EA they are "WEE Willie Keeler".

      The sliders in MVP do indeed work. Stealing frequency slider is questionable, but the other sliders do make noticeable changes to gameplay and results depending on how they are tweaked.

      I enjoyed WSB last year when I rented it, and I would say the one gripe I had with the game was that throws from the outfield were lobbed incredibly high, to the point of them not being line drives. This was frustrating to watch, as I would throw home and see a ball get tossed very high, and travelling at a very slow velocity, as my friend beat the throw home from 2nd or 3rd.

      I'm not sure if it was just me noticing this, but my friend did also, and it would be nice if they addressed that issue this year.

      I am not familiar with the stealing issue, as I didn't have the game long enough to experience it, but if there indeed was an issue, it would be nice to see it be resolved.

      All games do have bugs, but all games don't have major bugs that are potential "gamekillers." In the console market especially, it is important for companies to make sure their games don't ship with these bugs unfixed, as it is very unlikely they will be fixed at a later date.

      I bought MVP and have been enjoying it a lot. I still have to start up a Dynasty and get things going, but I also intend to check out ESPN Baseball when it's released.

            Yep, the sliders make a world of difference. The guy that said they don't is lying or clueless.
