raindelay7 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 does anyone know if it will be possible to just manage (and not play) a fully animated game in 2005? or will we have to start the game and set to cpu vs. cpu and interupt play to make changes the way we did in 2004? btw i have grown to love actually playing the games but it would be cool if this feature is included.

Viceman2004 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yea that would be cool. Like you can watch a pitcher, for example, who is pitching, and visit the mound. It would be just like manager mode within the play mode. I'd love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpontiac Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 WAIT You mean there isn't a Manage Mode in the game? I am new to MVP, and that would really really **** on my excitement for this game to come out if you can't manage a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieThePujols Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 There should be a manage mode(last years game had it) but we aren't sure if you'll be able to watch the game itsself or just control it from the manage screen they had last year.

daddy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Manage Mode sucked last year. I enjoyed just watching some games last year. I DOUBT they changed anything from last year. The High Heat series allowed you to manage game while watching. That pretty was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindelay7 Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 yeah i am really not too optimistic about it being included either... kinda stinks because it does seem like such a basic feature... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean...so you can manage (i.e take pitch, shift fileders and stuff), but what is the differenece between that and watching like you said?

WinnieThePujols Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yea it;'s a bit confsuing,...what I mean is you can't manage the game and watch it as if you were playing it. There is a speicial almost box score/manage screen that you manage the games from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieThePujols Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Couldn't tell ya. ha sorry. MVP is an amazing game though. It shoudl be said that it's manage mode is built more for speed than it is for looks. It;s an easy way to kill about 8 games in 1 hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleveCluby Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Taken from a posting by RODKEY, from his data file tune (It is possibleto play a "Manage Mode" this way - similar to what High Heat offers. While allowing the CPU to control all pitching, batting, and fielding you can take over at any time and make managerial moves. You can have mound visits, make pitching changes, put in pinch hitters, make de- fensive substitutions, etc. You can even control the defensive alignment for infield and outfield. Simply take control and set the alignment, then allow the CPU to do the pitching. Your defensive alignments will stay as you set them until the next batter comes up. You can temporarily take control and make pitch-outs and execute in- tentional walks. If you wish to call for a steal, I suggest taking over batting control before your batter has two strikes. Then you can manually send the runner(s) as your batter takes a pitch. You can call for a bunt by taking over batting control and laying one down yourself. I believe this style of play yields the most realistic results as far as achieving a baseball "simulation" goes.) This is how I play 90% of the time.. Hope it helps.
