    ESPN Baseball should be under the FDA, PS2 owners, My thoughts

    Because I'm hooked , I think I am coming close to having the Epileptic seizures the manuel warns you about. Playing 7 to 8 games on it day of a 162 game schedule.(First set this game to Dolby surround on your xbox , mine was on plain Stero and you could barely hear the announcer or any sound effects Just do it !!!!! speakers or not, I just have a plain Magnavox 32 inch .
    But seriously this game has a lot but the gameplay and AI is what make it for the hardcore baseballers. I tried a suciede squeeze and the pitcher actually threw home even though there was no chance and the game would be over, he threw it wild and hard his only chance unreal !! because I raised the go after lead runner slider a few notches. Whatever reviewers said the Confidence ratings were a Gimmiac were full of it ! It's really hard to hit a good or a reat pitcher(in the Zone, high confidence ) and when you have a pitchers # they pitch around you or Int walk you if you are really hot(you notice this only after playing a lot and it's always different ), if you are a NL Team and have runners on base and a bad hitting pitcher is coming up they will walk the #8 batter to get to your pitcher(this games alive ) .This game continues to amaze me each game and with the great sliders everything is adjustable. Confidence ratings also helps when your batting and fielding.(unreal) This option is highly underrated. Shame on all the reviewers who didnt take the time to really play this Classic game. (EX) Bost Reese made a error and later had a long count and finally hit a 2 run double and he than made a game saving dive because his confidence was up again and it's hardly noticable but its there and it works !
    I feel sorry for you PS2 guys so if you have any questions on heckles of your favorite players or stadium celebrations Just ask me and I'll tell you ASAP.
    I wrote down a few of them
    LA Hey Jose, Lima Time is over , Det Hey Munson you Just got Munsoned (From Kingpin )
    Det Craig Monroe heckler says (MONROOOOOOOOe Sounds exactly like Ted Knight from that TV show too close for comfort when hes yelling at Jim J Bullock character Monroe(sick ). When you hear some of them your like did I just hear that ? And it seems like almost everyone has a heckler.
    Jon Miller Does Vin Scully and Harry Carry voices during the games in LA and CHI.
    Homerun Celebrations:
    Colorado has colored water spouts, SF water cannons in RF, Houston Train ,
    A lot of these things sneak by you if your not looking .
    Thanks for the Great Game ESPN. Just goes to show you ,dont believe everything you read or hear!!!

          Great post.

          In Yankee stadium, you can see the train go by, behind the little opening in RF.

          I also like how HRs, don't just disappear into the seats. I hit one off the edge of the wall for a HR and it bounced right back in the field. Or you can hit a HR into crowd, and it will hit a seat or a railing and bounce back a few more rows.




          Next year would be great, if they had an interactive crowd.

                No bernie Brewer but I'll see what happens when someone hits a HR there, Yeah in NYY the train is still in RF .
                This game should be awesome next year alls they should have to do is give most of the players a real face and true body shapes with real weight ALA Espn Hockey. HR Celebrations like they have the Hecklers better crowd reaction , and pitch and swing animations.

                      I really couldn't agree more..this game has me drawn in like no other....I don't know what it is but last night I said well it's 12 and I'll play 1 game before I went to bed...Well I ended up playing 3..I was exhausted but wanted to play more..I shut it off really quick so I wouldn't....I play this game every chance I get...It's Simply amazing...and I agree that the only things they really need to work on next year should be...Faces, Longer crowd reaction, and Swing annimation...I actually like the pitching....and the confidence meter ain't no gimmick....These reviews said that because they want Mvp to come out on top...It's not a bad game but I tell you..Espn MLB is the best in a long while

                            I'm running a Braves franchise, so the taunts I hear most often are, "It's spelled with an E, Andruw!" and "We're all sick of you, Chipper!"
