The following is a quote from the review that was presented by Hilary as a potential problem, that I look at as a HUGE positive:
"I must admit that I've had a bit more of a problem pitching this year than last year, as the pitching effort sometimes too greatly affects location or ball movement, making it a bit more difficult to hit the spots. I'm not really sure if it's intentional or not, but I'm a seasoned veteran of the series and it took me a few games to get accustomed to the sensitivity of this year's pitching system."
To me, this is beyond excellent (assuming he is correct of course). If this is a true statement, pitchers with a better control rating will become even more important. It won't be all about the fireballers!
Did anyone else pick up on this little comment and think it was actually a GOOD thing!?!

Yeah, I picked up on that too. The review reaffirmed my decision to purchase the game. The gameplay is slightly improved which is a good thing since the gameplay did not need an overhaul like some other products on the market and online play added is a bonus, although baseball online does not interest me as much as the other sports. In the end the game appears to be pretty much bug free, at least the CPU controlled teams won't have 15 pitchers and 10 positional players on their 25 man roster and it also appears that the player progression works fine in ESPN too.
