Re: High Heat Sightings and First Impressions here...

NickB,

Hopefully it could have saved more people money if that WARNING post thread wasnt locked. Hopefully other fellow OSers who plan on spending their cash, visit this very lengthy topic and work their way to the bug replies.

Cause I know I certainly wouldnt sleep right knowing others may have lost out on their hard earned cash If i was the moderator responsible for locking ( and eventually deleting) a very informative warning post about a game just to keep the boards clean and tidy to make room for more CAPTION THIS PIC and NEW FANTASY LEAGUE posts.

Basically is the Minor League system very realistic? Like how do you find out who to bring up(rating, scouting report?)??

I seriously doubt any games rosters will have some guys, but remember on the X-box their is roster updates ability., plus you can edit your players.

I am not saying that the run counting on the 3rd out flyball didn't happen but I haven't seen it.

good things they improved are no more wholesale lineup changes by the CPU too early in the game, I was losing 11-1 in the 7th and only in the eigth did they make a couple of moves.

Day games look way better than night games certain parks look better than others.

I will agree that the batting stances could be more realistic, but they are not as bad as some are saying they tried to capture certain people.

MVP level makes for a much tougher hitting challenge.

Re: High Heat Sightings and First Impressions here...

It really seems to make sense to wait on the xbox version now. anyone with the ps2 version can claim it defective and maybe exchange it within 7 days for a reserve on the xbox version. Hopefully the slowdown maybe won't be there, and xbox can also get patches(although those version probably won't go out the door with a bug like this in it.

Nick, I am only a few games into the season but the minor leaguers stats are computer generated and you can call up whomever you want based on how they are doing statwise in the minors. However, you have to be careful cuz if you call someone up, you automatically give them a 3-year deal. Also, if you create a player and pick him up, he also gets a 3-year deal and salary is based on how good you made him.
Cook, I also have not seen the third-base scoring with 2-out bug. However, I have experienced slowdown with runners on base. I agree with you that batting stances could have been done better and MVP level is definitely quite a challenge with the simulation meter on 8 or above. I keep it on 8 to get realism and a bit of arcade style as well. I dont want the game to be completely stats driven or I will feel like I have nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

Aiverson,

First of all you don't even have the game. Second you don't know that this is a legitimate bug, these kind of things start all the time by fanboys of other games. lets have a few reputable users see it and then I might start taking it more seriously.
