Operation Sports: Will there be a practice mode?
David Perkinson: We will not be having a Practice Mode in the game. With four skill levels, AI sliders, and practically countless gameplay options, even the most inexperienced user should be able to find a level of competition that suits their needs.
We think that the game is accessible enough, and when you factor in load screens with controller tips, and a full controller map off the pause menu the user should be able to figure out all of the controls in the game.

I didn't like his tone on that. Instant game-killer. I kid, I kid.

With the oldest uniforms in the game come classic accessories. The players will wear old-style baggy pants and jerseys, old-style caps and shoes, and old-style gloves when in the field. When batters come to the plate they will not be wearing batting helmets or batting gloves. If you look at the catchers you see that they are wearing old-school equipment.

Now that is cool.

wow, even Guru had nice things to say about it. If the baserunning is fixed, maybe he will become a closet WSB lover.

Great interview. Really makes me excited about WSB2k3.

1 thing: it may be old news to most of you, but this was the first time I heard it won't be LIVE compatable. major bummer.

Re: Our World Series Baseball 2K3 Interview

no downloadable rosters is also a bummer.

I wasn't a huge fan of the game last year, but the new classic stuff makes this worth a look. I like games that take baseball's history into account.... like ASB and the Negro Leagues.

Did the interview say anything about collision detection in the stands? Like ASB. Kin of a small thing, but I like how the ball bounced off things in ASB after it cleared the fence.

-No, it was never mentioned. I was really curious about that, too. Maybe Perkinson purposely didn't answer that one, as he would have had to just say a flat out "no" if they didn't do it, instead of giving a big detailed reason why.
