    Worst Instruction Manuals Ever!

    These manuals for both games are terrible. I cannot believe how much information is left out of them. For example, I have no idea how you activate Slamzcne or Showboat for catches? It took me awhile to figure out what the In your Face mode was. Why cannot they cover basic things like that in the manual. If anyone has any idea what the slamzone is, it would be nice to know.

    By the way, I like the game. It took a full game to get use to the new pitching interface, but I like it. I need to mess with the sliders though because I have too many ks, and not enough walks.

        Ummm, for every single one of the 2k series games this year, there has been a very extensive in-game manual.....Is that not in this game?

                I usually don't have to read manuals, but I have no idea what the In Your Face mode is or how you do showboat catches or the slamhits, or whatever they are called, or what they exactly do, I have no idea. The rest I can figure out. It is just these crazy modes and features.

                    Yeah I was just kidding. But the showboat catch is explained in a tutorial. (I believe navigate to extras and then either check it out on the manual or go to about the game and then fielding tutoria) The IYF mode should be explained in the manual as well along with slamzone...but slamzone also has a tutorial. (Batting Tutorial)
