[The Bimmer]

Well i finally was able to win the 4 inning mini-game on legend level 6-2 using the Rays. I was 0-15, so i guess i got a read on Hamels now(lol). I am really liking legend mode cant wait to get it started for real in a couple of weeks. Is there a way to turn off the indicator under the player?

As far as lag. Ugh, hit or miss. You can play an almost lag free game and next play one that looks like it's freeze framed every....well, frame. Watch for the on-line sign ups here as we don't put up with nonsense. This year it was HOF, Classic Pitching, all aids off, NEW baserunning. Lots of fun (if you didn't get lag).

Thanks for your input

The reason I ask is I come from helping run a 2k7 league(won't get into 2k8) that ran 6 seasons long. We had a great group of guys and I have never had as much fun playing a sports game. Also did the whole High Heat baseball league thing on the PC way back when. Hopefully I can link up with some vets of The Show even though im the rookie around here.

Just played a 6 inning game, what a gem. Both pitchers dominated (on HOF), I was the Rays and Hamels seemed unhittable early on. As the game progressed he started throwing more pitches out of the zone and I started to hit him around a little although I could not score. In a game tied 0-0 in the bottom of the 6th I gave up a walk off HR to Jimmy Rollins and saw the most beautiful camera view as he pimped his HR job

Did you guys use pitching camera and can you force that on if so did you?

No option for pitch cam and I don't know how you'd force it.

An option to turn off the player indicators would be great!
