Unhappytriad, it's the # 6 train.

I thought you COULD see your homeruns land...

<hr /></blockquote>

are you sure? the 6 doesnt even stop at yankee stadium man. unless they changed the whole thing around.

and it doesnt happen all of the time but what i mean by not landing is the cutscenes and replays seem to cut away a second or two too soon for some homeruns in some ballparks right before the ball lands. try hitting one out in right field of skydome and you'll see what i mean.

i also would have liked to have the ability to elevate the camera when controlling the replay.

FROM THE OPERATION SPORTS INTERVIEW:

Operation Sports: Did they capture the stadiums uniqueness?

David Perkinson: One of the major stadium related upgrades this year deals with this specific issue. We have gone to great lengths to do as much stadium-specific work as possible. We have trees moving with the wind in Pac Bell and Jack Murphy (I just can’t call it Qualcomm). We have the water fountains and waterfalls in Kansas City. We have the train moving down the tracks to celebrate Astro home runs at Minute Maid Field. We have traffic moving on the bridges in the background in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. We have the #6 train coming and going behind Yankee Stadium. We have the Big Apple rising at Shea. We have the classic pinwheel light show at Comiskey. We have the Pac Bell water cannons. We have the milk bottle in Fenway. We have the rock garden at Edison Field. We have the light show at Tropicana Field. We have fireworks. We have strobe lights. We have old-fashioned signs in the retro ballparks and old team logos in the retro stadiums. We even have old cars in the parking lot at one of the classic parks. We have people cheering in French at Expo games. We have a great crowd that cheers for the home team and heckles the road team.

SUBWAY

The Yankee Stadium Subway stop is located right outside the Stadium at the corner of 161st St. and River Ave. The Stadium is conveniently reached by several subway lines and a trip from midtown Manhattan takes less than 25 minutes. The #4 train, as well as the B (weekdays only) and D trains make stops at 161st St./Yankee Stadium. Metro North train service to Connecticut and Westchester County is available at the 125th St. subway stop.

I'm positive that the game does the double switch.

Yes. When substuting a pitcher in an NL game, the menu presents you with options to either "Substitiute" or to "Substitute & Double Switch".

However, GoStros found a possible stats issue when doing a double switch: <blockquote>Quote:<hr />
ok i have found my first huge flaw.... you can't double switch because Billy Wagner closed a game and they gave Brian Hunter the save. also when Wags came on his rating for pitch speed was off from 97-99 mph to 88-90 mph....real stinker if you ask me!

Re: FatPitcher - Questions/Comments Thread

Ahh, now that I don't know about. So basically the double switch did happen but the stats were recorded wrong. I think the one NL game I played and did a double switch the pitcher didn't have a W, S or H so I can't say whether that happens all the time or not.

One thing that's pretty consistent with Sega games though, there's always at least one significant stat bug. Baseball is for the stat geeks more than anything though so hopefully there aren't many other issues like this.
