This is a compound question, sorry if you find these worthless questions.....question #2: Is the State Farm Home Run Derby mode better than previous years? The hitting felt nothing like it did in a game and the measurements were off badly, so does it feel more like a game or natural feel or is it like last year and noneffiecent with the game?

Okay , thanks man question #1; For these custom beats(player beats), do you have to use the in game songs or can I have a song from my playlist saved on my hard drive?

Woah, how did I miss this screen?? Maybe individual player beats did make it in!!!!

Am I the only one who noticed the lack of the HR record on the MLB single season batting records? Very interesting!

I was hoping there was more than one screen for records

Steve, I just played the 2K7 demo, and in the 3 innings of play I had 3 HR's got thrown out twice trying to get a double off balls that hit the wall, and had 2 HR's robbed. Please tell me this doesn't happen in 2K8.

One of the very few graphic/accessory beefs I had last year, I love they have the hot and cold long sleeves now. The "Arm Sleeve" option we'd have to use last year always looked a bit odd in comparison, I love they added that in this year. The (un)buttoned jersey is also a very cool addition.

Not allowed to use Bonds' name in the game. I suppose the record could have been there with no name. I don't know, but Sony would then always ding us for that in certification that it was a "bug". So I guess the solution this year was to leave it out.

I thought maybe it had to do with the whole steroid issue.

Why couldn't they include McGuire's record of 70.

Also do you know if it will track the record in franchise or season mode ie: I hit 74 with Ortiz, will the game recognize that?

Using McGwire's record and Ruth's record have both contributed to 2K failing Sony certification in the past, because they were "bugs". Obviously, that was not the only reason the game failed, but they were actually in the reports. Kind of silly. So I suspect this year instead of dealing with that nonsense, the decision was made to leave it out all together and not waste anyone's time.

I'm not sure if franchise will recognize it. I would think so, but I really have no idea.

It couldn't be in there as John Dowd or whatever his fabricated name was in the past?

Steve, if it's not too much to ask, I was wondering if you could let me know how many faces, signature stances, and generic stances there are in this game. The faces one is easy, because you can just press Left from the first face and you'll get the highest number. Last year it was a miserable 29.

As for stances, I know that's a bit of a chore (toggling and counting), but I was just curious as to what number of stances we were looking at for this year. But I'm almost more interested in the number of generic stances, mostly because I want to know if we'll get any variation for the young stars (rookies, minor league players, etc).

Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

You can't count that in the CAP menu, at least in 2K7, because some of the sig-style batting stances were not available to CAPs for some very odd reason.

Can you change the name of a real MLB player and they will say the name and not the number. Also the PA annoucer will say the edited name and the not the MLB player name.
