    Manager Mode?


    In games past, we were able to play in sort of a Manager Mode. I remember a mode called "One-Pitch Mode" where it would basically fast forward you to the payoff pitch of each at bat. Is this option available in this game?

    No, unfortunately.

    One thing I fooled around with is I watched a game CPU v. CPU and let me tell you the presentation is great, different camera view with EACH pitch. I then paused the game, changed controllers to a team, put a guy in the bullpen and went back to CPU v. CPU. I then got a man on base, paused the game and then took control of the runner and let the CPU control my batter.
    This way I could control a steal. You can substitute players that way and it didn't work bad.

    You can also make changes to the other team in the same way. Sort of a poor mans MOM.

        That sounds as bad as building a house with lincoln logs, then tearing the top part off log by log because the electrician showed up late.

            Gamecast is the only type of manage mode you can use. Unfortunately I think your looking for a visual type of manage mode, the gamecast is text base like those text base pc games. Well if you just want a manage mode use the gamecast.

            Oh yeah at any point during the gamecast you can jump in and play or jump back out to gamecast again.

                I would like to see an on-field Manage Only mode added to this game as well. MLB 06 The Show is the only game that has this as of right now. Unfortunately for me, I prefer to play a Manage Only game much more than I do actually playing, so I won't be able to give this game a try this year. I'd really like to though.
                It's only a video game.
