Looks great, but I can't help but notice they look like they are playing on astro turf, grass looks off / flat if you will, maybe it was just the resoulution of the video....anyone else notice this ?

I would love to see one day this customizable (as the stand alone feature) to allow you to create the ORIGINAL Home Run Derby they used to play back in the day with Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, etc. Anyone remember that one? ESPN has played replays of it at times over the years. The premise was easy. 2 guys go head to head. You get 3 outs per inning in a 9 inning game. If the ball is not a home run, it is an out. Also, if the ball was a strike and wasn't swung upon, it was an out as well. Whoever won, would advance to another week and play against someone else. One of the cooler parts of this show was the fact that while one guy was batting, the other was chatting it up with the announcer. That couldn't be recreated but I would love to set the rules to something like this and play it at historical stadiums. I was able to set up something like that for I believe WSB 2k3 back in the day. The only thing that sucked about it for me was that you didn't get to watch the other batter hit so you would hit, then it would just say how many your opponent had in their at bat. Anyway, I am probably the only one that would like something like that (HRD being completely customizable) and it would only be a good thing as the stand alone feature, but I thought I would throw it out there.

I am very sure that World Series Baseball 94 on the Genesis had that mode.

hmmmm

is the all star game in anaheim every year in the show for franchise/rtts?

Simply wow!

I never in my wildest dreams thought the Home Run Derby would be apart of All Star Week. I simply thought it was an option to use to practice your hitting outside of franchise mode.

This is amazing, SECA never ceases to amaze me.

in the all star game for 10 will the players be wearing their own jerseys or just the normal NL AL jerseys?

In '09 in my second year of my franchise (2010) it was automatically in Anaheim. So I would assume they put it in at least two ballparks in '10

You can change it yourself.
