Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What player is lucky enough to grace the cover of this game?

Answer: Ryan Howard

Ryan Howard is a huge slugger who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies. He was a fairly new player in the MLB who constantly slugged the ball.

2. There is a new game in 'game modes' it is called ______ of the _______. What are these two words?

Answer: King; Diamond

This game is played with two teams; one pitcher and one batter on each. The teams are called Crimson and Cobalt. The game is played entirely by what would happen if the ball was hit where it lands.

3. What is the signal to rob a home run over the outfield fence?

Answer: A series of yellow and red circles

The signal very rarely appears due to the fact that most home runs are extremely rarely close enough to be robbed. Even when they can be robbed, you have to time your jump perfectly to catch the ball.

4. Is there an amateur draft in franchise mode?

Answer: Yes

After the draft, you get to sign your draft picks as rookies. You get all the information about all the players, but unlike other sports games, you don't get to play a game with them until they're on your team.

5. In real life in Tiger Stadium, there is the Pepsi Porch. In this game, what is this called?

Answer: Franzola Cola

Since putting the soda companies name on it would be a copyright infringement, they put a random name that rhymed with 'cola' on it. They have this in other stadiums, but with different names, depending on the fields.

6. Which buttons are pushed to select your pitch?

Answer: Square, Circle, X, Triangle & R1

X is the pitcher's best pitch, then circle, then triangle, then square, and finally R1, although not every pitcher has five pitches. Some pitchers have four pitches, which is the most common and some pitchers only have three. The pitchers with three pitches are normally called specialty pitchers.

7. How many types of swings are there when you are up to bat?

Answer: Three

The three types of swings are Power Swing, Contact Swing and Bunt. With a Power Swing, you hit harder but you pop it up more frequently though the ball goes further. With a Contact Swing, you hit it with less power than a Power Swing, but you hit line drives more often. Lastly, Bunting simply bounces a few feet away from the plate, it is mostly used to score important runs.

8. What does the feature 'Guess Pitch' do?

Answer: It helps you make better contact

Even though you do not always get a hit when you get your pitch, you get more power and much more contact than if you had not guessed it. If you guess correctly, you can use a normal swing but you hit it far, hard, and in between fielders.

9. What team has the shortest outfield wall and how short is it?

Answer: Boston; 310 feet

This wall is measured 310 feet down the left field line and is 90 feet tall. It is extremely well-known as the Big Green Monster. If you hit a home run over it, it is equivalent of hitting a home run over a normal out field wall because you have to hit it MUCH higher than normal.

10. In the beginning of the game, what is the first slide of the slide show?

Answer: 2007 Year Of The Milestone

It says 2007 Year Of The Milestone because so many records were broken and accomplishments were made during the 2007 season. Some of the players included in this are Alex Rodriguez, Trevor Hoffman and many other baseball greats of the 2007 season.
