Graphical results instead of text results Topic

I'd much rategher see the graphical results added before highlighted stats or triple crown winners on a players card. Graphical results would add a huge appeal to HBD. Graphical results would make HBD feel more like Sports Center insted of a sports section in a newspaper. It would be the best addition to HBD since HBD started.

Really?  I would think that things like being able to manually rank your amateur draft prospects, the introduction of the Rule 5 draft, etc., would rank way ahead of animated graphics for game replays in terms of "best additions to HBD since HBD started".

When was the last time you said to yourself that the movie was better than the book?

Just because newspaper writers are hacks doesn't mean that SC is good.... just better.

The first year or two was still game creation not addition of features, they've been adding rules and different game parts for years now it's time to add something FUN to the game. The R5 draft was an awsome addttion but it's not like HBD wouldn't survived without it, in my opinion it was a small addition when you look at how much it's used compare to being able to watch EVERYGAME.

I think animated graphics would lift HBD into another dimension in the FUN factor. Instead of reading a box score in a news paper you'd get to watch Sports Center, for you that may not matter but for many of us it would make the game much more fun. WIS could add another MLB rule but you are forgetting that this is a computer game afterall, the fun factor is also very important and animated graphics would add a lot of fun factor to the game. Maybe you don't think so but there are many of us who do. Yes, I think it would be the coolest addition HBD ever added.

This is something we have talked about in the past (something very similar to MLB.com). However, I wouldn't anticipate anything like this becoming available for at least 2+ years.

There are so many other features of the game that can be improved before we see this.  It's not a terrible idea, but it shouldn't be anywhere close to a priority.

Yeah, but do the HR distance numbers in the HR Derby make much sense? 

I've seen a bunch of 390 foot home runs to CF in the PBP of the HRD.

EDIT: Example: this Home Run Derby, played in Citizen's Bank Park (401 ft to CF) had a 359 foot HR to CF.

It bounced off one of the little twerps' head and over the fence.
