    Next gen Disc space

    I remember seeing a thread on we don't need blu-ray or hd-dvd for games, because it doesn't take up disc space, dvd 9 is just fine, well riddle me this? Taken from the 2k sports developer Q & A

    San Franpsycho: Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions, I really appreciate this. This is a two-part question:

    A. As one's GM Career and/or Franchise mode goes on, does the Inside Edge feature change as the seasons go by?

    For example, let's say David Wright of the Mets has his own Inside Edge report right now based on his short career. He will/should definitely progress to be an amazing hitter in just a couple of seasons. So will Inside Edge change as he progresses to the better hitter he will become, or will his IE report be the same as it was during the first season?

    B. On a similar note, how are the Inside Edge reports determined for future rookies and created players? Will we be able to fill out a basic form on how the Inside Edge report should be on certain players? For example, I know a lot about Giants minor league players and if I created them, I'd be able to come out with some realistic IE reports for them as I created them, if there were some kind of simple form to fill out while creating the player (ex. Aggressive early in counts, loves hitting fastballs, chases breaking balls behind in the count, etc.).

    Thanks again.

    Answer: Unfortunately, a player's Inside Edge tendencies do not "update" as a season progresses. We had wanted to do this and are planning on doing so for the future but the amount of Inside Edge data we are putting into the game takes up a lot of disk space. Making it update throughout a season is just too memory intensive at this time and we probably could have done it at the expense of having stick player models. Lots of tradeoffs have to be made in this business! We all want what you want but there are ALWAYS limitations (be they memory, time, or legal) to what we can and cannot do.

        Ah, interesting. That could be a limitation of the IE feature in MLB, cause I remember there are a lot of games that don't come close to filling the DVD9.

          Well, if the rumors of the 2 different sku's for the PS3 are true, it won't matter, as they won't be making Blu Ray games anyway, so the argument is a moot point.

                  Its called separation, 2 SKU's is too identical to MS and its MS biggest blunder. Fabrication on a manufacturing line requires consistency. Sony has 11 plants, 9 more than MS, in which can be done for less the cost. MS, made 2 sku's for Hard drive and without, Sony has a heavy stake in Blu ray, and already let it be known that the PS3 is coming without a Hard drive. You see the difference between the 2 is one is planning for the future, and one is well planning for yesterday.

                              Damn, I'm thirsty. The following is in capitals for those with bad eye sight.

                              MS, WENT THE 2 SKU ROUTE BECAUSE OF HARD DRIVES!!!!

                              Sony will not release a harddrive with their product, Blu-ray will be availble with every unit from the get go.
