mvp baseball question

[archie@anet.net]

Is anyone noticing dirty play in MVP live baseball?

I have noticed:

1) that people check pitch history--this sometimes throws off your pitch
accuracy or makes it easy to make a mistake

2) I have noticed that in crucial situation in games, I am unable to make
changes in the game (e.g., warm up pitchers, change pitchers, pinch hit,
etc).

3) one game ended because my opponent was dismissed for cheating--what in
the heck did he do and who determined that he was cheating?

Is anyone else noticing this? Any way to stop it?

Also I am noticing a lot of poor sports--the last two haves that I lost, I
recieved mesages like usuck and ha, fu. Both were extra inning games that
were fairly well played.

EA/xbox has to find a better way to identify those that are bad sports and
punish them in some way.

With regard to mvp baseball, i think that it is ridiculous that you can only
play 5 inning games on live ranked games. this makes absolutely no sense to
me. otherwise, I like the game.

While I haven't played MVP online yet, I have noticed the problem of being
unable to warm-up pitchers, etc.
This usually seems to happen when I'm up at bat.

I've played MLB 2K5 from 2KSports and have none of these problems.

You can warm up pitchers when you are at bat. If you don't know how to hit
the start button and find it, it tells you a shorter way in the manual. I
think its the white button.

the option is greyed out while batting.

How can it be? I warm up my pitchers every time I am about to pinch hit for
the pitcher slot or pull a double switch. It is never greyed out.

Yup, I can find the option easily, but it's greyed out.
Not everytime, but the great majority of the time, the only time I can warm
up a pitcher is when I'm in the field.
Maybe I try too early.

don't know. You do have to pick a new pitcher when you pinch 'em. Also,
you could have someone warming up while you're batting, but you just
can't choose that pitcher while you're batting if you haven't already
done so while on the field. Either you are mistaken or have a 1 in a
million copy as i have buddies that concur on the PS2 version.

What mode are you playing?

I am playing owner mode on the Xbox and I have not had that happen to me in
30+ games. It very well may be a valid concern but I have, honest to God,
not had that happen to me in any game I have played online or offline.
