    Re: MVP Interview @ Sportplanet

    Just guessing, but it could just be one of the replay views.

            Maybe someone here (Steve was it?) can answer this but this is the second time that Ive read an interivew and there has been a question about the code. It seems kind of wierd especially since they used the exact same terminology in the question in both cases. My question is do the websites allow the interviewee to script some of their questions?

                It's either that or they have answered the same question so many times they give a pre-formatted answer, kinda like some athletes.

                    Actually, I was the one that conducted the interview. When I put the interview together, none of the other interviews were yet posted up (including the one here).

                    There's no restrictions in regards to the types of questions we can ask, in fact, I just put together things submitted from visitors to the site and from whatever I could think of.

                    Honestly, I've been covering this game for years, seen it's rise and it's demise into oblivion and I must say, I'm very impressed on where this title is heading and the attention they are putting on fan sites like ours.

                    I've even had their PR department send me screenshots and other material without me even asking for it, which actually shocked me a bit. It'd be nice if there was alot more of that out there.

                    From the interview, it's very clear that the attention going forward is going to be on a simulation of the sport vs. the slugfest of past Triple Play's. That's all good as far as I'm concerned.

                            I think he actually meant behind the catcher view. The thing he said about seeing the glove move to meet the ball wouldn't really make much sense from way behind the pitcher. I'll try to follow up on that. I never understood why EA's resisted this camera angle in the past. I'm not saying to make it the default, but at least make it an option.

                                Good interview but I feel like the EA producer is side-stepping questions about extra features. MVP sounds like it may be a little too "vanilla" when it comes to extras.

                                I guess that's what I should expect from first year code.
