Double play turn was BS. No way the 2B gets that much heat on that throw.

I do wonder if it could be possible.

Let's say you play Critical Moments for all 30 teams throughout the week. Is there a way we can see those Critical Moments saved under the hood, then turned into a Highlight show?

Yeah, it would have to be some type of background loading. Not how results for the out-of-town scores are pre-simmed, then updated within your current stadium. Definitely promising seeing how there's just a one-time load into a game, then jumping in/out of quick manage instantly and seamlessly.

That's a possibility. ESPN NFL 2K5 has a highlight show that saves your biggest play on the HDD. Significantly less elements to load with that though (including stadium for the most part), but it's there. The rest were pre-rendered.

Can the game load elements in the background while you're playing? Maybe over the course of 20 minutes, they could load up the other fourteen games on the schedule (stadiums, players, jerseys, etc.) and reserve it on the HDD for future use. Then when a "moment" occurs in another game, they can either play it out live for us or play it out as a highlight if we jump into it.

I don't know how well background loading does with a game's performance, though. Doubt it's in this year anyway, but I'm scavenging all possibilities.

Heck, if they are live cut-ins, you don't even need to load fourteen other games. Probably ten, maximum... except for the last game of the season, of course.

I am a large fan of the quick manage mode

Although, think they need to add a pitch count on the simulation screen - the energy bar can be misleading.

Definitely an insanely hard play but let's not ignore the fact that Schoop has one of the best arms among second basemen!

I've seen a few of those during the streams now. I'll reserve final judgement until I've played multiple games but I hope those kinds of plays are the exception rather than the rule.
