VSN Baseball Spring Training Random Thoughts

I wonder if the stamina effects differ based upon the bullpen slot the pitcher is in.

So LRP's will have lesser stamina draining effects than a SU would...hmm.

That would be epically retarded, but this is scea we are dealing with, so you could be right. I always assumed those slots were just for structure and ease of use in game. Interesting possibility.

I've had it set to OFF as if it's on games would Auto Resolve 24 hours past their due date.

Looks like games still Auto Resolve, cause I just realized the entire first week resolved itself.

On one hand this keeps a league moving, on the other hand you need to get games done in order. Not so much a big deal when we have 3 game series vs each other for the real thing.

I want a better showing from some guys in this week or we might have to roll with just 12.

Looks like it's not a big deal.

The game gets a result but doesn't generate player stats. So the game can be reset and then played from the looks of it.

GGs last night Rokbone...
we played 1 game on all HOF and one game on all Rookie setting for hitting and pitching with sliders at default.

for me HOF felt much better even tho it was low scoring I never felt cheated or overwhelmed...Rookie felt off...too slow and I couldnt hit worth shit...of course I was using the 'Stros one of the lowest ranked hitting clubs in the game as Rok pointed out as he was the Mariners and they are 29 & 30 in hitting in the game.

That's what I expected out of Rookie. It seems like the lower in difficulty level you go, the slower the game gets. Pitch speeds slow down, and the ball seems dead off the bat. HOF/HOF seems to be the closest to the feel of a real baseball game at this point.

wow i felt different about rookie as i thought it played out great for the mode and it was not a hitfest as ii still had double digit k"s and balls were hit hard,soft,ect!I can tell you one thing i really realized was the camera just seemed different for some reason in a good way!The pitcher seemed closer and i was able to pick it up and not be miles ahead of pitches!On the other modes the pitcher seems set back a little more and which would make the early swings on everything!
Overall i thought it played out pretty well and i didnt have the dead ball feel what so ever!It would be nice for somebody else to try it and get a formal opinion as overall i feel it played very well for the most!
