No, cant remap the buttons, but there is a aim sliding with the left analog stick.

Could you try the manager mode and tell us how that is? (if they kept it in this year...it should ask you when you select a game in your franchise if you want to play, manage, or sim). Does it look like 2K8's manager mode?

So far from what i can tell, is when they get close to the ball, they do slow down in order to get in position to make the throw. I havent seen anything crazy yet.

what are the list of sliders? Are there any replay cut scenes? Is there any HR celebrations? I havent seen any in the demo

Yes on replay cut scenes. I have only hit 1 homer, he was happy, but it was in a blow out, so they didnt get to crazy.

Hey, kcxiv!

I'm not as technical, or informed as some others here at OS are, either. But, so far, I'm really digging the vids showing the real time throwing (not sure if that's a new add or not). But, some of the animations are weird.

My questions: Is the real time throwing good to the point of animations being much more smooth and impressive, depending on the gamers' release (in the green)?
And, do players have different throwing meters? Like, do the better players have more green (in their meter), making it easier for them to make great looking throws?

Have you experimented with any sliders to perhaps adjust the AI's lack of plate discipline & eagerness to swing?
