ORIGINAL: puresimmer You actually can reach on error now. As far as calling out the distinction b/t HBP and BB that will be next year's version. Woo hoo. Better and better. The "error" comment prompts me to ask once again whether you anticipate changing outfielder errors on batted balls to allow a hitter to get more than one base. Also, will we be seeing outfielder throwing errors allowing extra base advances by runners? Yes, I know I'm a very needy person. I'm sure you remember my comments about how claustrophobic the field depiction is with all the information and interaction screens. Are you going to reorganize them or reduce their size so that less of the view is obscured? I think that they could be designed much more efficiently and could be redesigned so as to fit into the view better rather than just being obviously superimposed. How about audio? I would love to see (I mean, "hear") such things as crowd noise that crescendoes in tight, late-inning situations (how about a "boo" dynamic?), ballpark organ playing like the "charge" piece you have heard a bazillion times (you know - "ba da da DUT ba DAH") and the stalking music when the home team is behind in the late innings and has men on base (DUT da dut dah DUT da dut dah DUT da dut dah). The guy at the old Metrodome in Minnesota used to play spooky music after a base on balls while the scoreboard screen had a cartoon that said "Walks will haunt." "Guest" celebrities singing the National Anthem and Harry Caray singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the Seventh Inning Stretch ... How about an animated jumbotron (the players' faces could be displayed here instead of in some clunky box that doesn't fit in with the ballpark atmosphere - the hitter's or pitcher's stats could be displayed here, as well) ... Comiskey Park-like fireworks for a home run (such "special effects" could be customizable team-by-team, ballpark-by ballpark) ... announcer voiceovers (I could do a great Dizzy Dean impression for ya - "Pee Wee, he come around second, he slud into third, and, brother, he was out") ... you know ... MANAGER-UMPIRE ARGUMENTS! People thrown out of the game! YOU thrown out of the game! I don't want too much ...
