pfunk880 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 http://xbox.ign.com/articles/580/580649p1.html?fromint=1 A little disappointed in this preview... it didn't say much. *In Owner Mode, it sounds like you have to build a ballpark at the start... and a bad one at that. Stupid and unrealistic IMO. *I'm still not sold on the pitching meter. "Perhaps the most important fix is to the pitching meter, which was too forgiving last season. Now the green zone for a perfect pitch is considerably smaller and the meter moves a bit faster. While it's still not too tough to get into a groove and paint the corners, it's more difficult to maintain perfection." So it is harder to get the exact perfect pitch, but it is still pretty simple to get close and paint the corners? Hmmm... I hope it is harder than it sounds. *More animations. Cool. Wish this wouldn't have been glossed over, but at least it sounds improved. *Hitter's Eye. Just idiotic. All it does is tell you what the pitch is going to be. Cheap and cheesy... why is this the most-hyped feature? *Moving in the batter's box. Just sounds stupid and doesn't happen in real life. That was pretty much all it said. Maybe I'm reading too much into it... but that preview did nothing to get me hyped for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah, I was pretty disappointed, too. Owner Mode sounds really bad. So this means every team will have a new, crappy stadium? Is there a still a separate Dynasty mode because this sounds really bad. Hitter's Eye sounds really stupid as well. It will just make hitting even easier. Enough said. That hands-on is terrible, but then again, it was Hilary Goldstein, that guy is so terrible. On IGN Insider, the guy was so dumb and annoying. I want his job because he does a terrible job and I could do way better. I know what to look for, how baseball works, apparently he doesn't.

NYM Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 im going to do owbner mode. the reason is is that i did not see any imprvments at shea. i guess ill build my own collsial stadium like i did in madden. or for all u who hate bulding a stadium maybe there is just a dynasty mode. but maybe if ure bored u can make ure own owner modse and try and build up a dynasty who knows.

pfunk880 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah, I just figured it would fit in under the IGN Hands-On topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
