Question: Does the computer make contact everytime it swings, or are there swings and misses?

Also.. is there really a draw walk slider? That wasn't in Steve's pictures of Sliders.

On legend I didn't see the cpu swing and miss much and there is no draw walks slider.

That is a little disheartening. I pray the release-day patch addresses this, but I get the feeling it won't.

Has Ronnie over on the 2K boards mentioned exactly what the patch addresses?

The CPU will swing and miss if you make a good pitch (I'm playing on all star difficulty).

The draw walk slider is in the edit player section. Which btw does squat. I edited every hitter on the opposing team to have draw walk at 100 and CPU still hacked at everything. I then thought maybe lowering to zero would help, no dice they still hacked at everything. To be honest, I don't even notice a difference between 0 or 100.

Re: editing players batting stances...

I tried editing guys with generic stances and could not fond anywhere in the edit player section that would allow me to do so. Furthermore, I couldn't even find it in the create a player mode.

Great Game, One word "Superb". The game has come a long way from 2k6 now with great camera angles, inhanced graphics and smooth gameplay.

I'm just really baffled that VC took-out Sliders that worked so well & added Sliders no-one knows what they do..

BTW how do you take out the AI Base Running Speed Slider..

Yeah, last year's sliders were good...they just needed to make them work better/at all. Count me as baffled as well that they scrapped them completely.
