I usually do not have to beg for help, but can anyone tell me how to put a created player on a team? When I create a player there is a reference to a team but then the player is never on the team roster. I tried loading rosters but that did not work. Please tell me what I need to do to put my created player on one of the teams and have that player available to play. Thanks!!

There is a big difference IMHO between putting less emphasis on the female characters and making the female characters so ill defined as to be a waste of time to play. I understand that in wrestling the women are viewed as eye candy rather than real superstars. In tennis, I would hope that the women would be treated better in a video game but I do not see women in the promos for the new Top Spin. If anyone has played the game I would be curious to know if ALL the tennis players shown are presented well and realistically.

I notice that the coverage of the new Top Spin tennis game is all about the male players. I am curious, before I invest in the game, in knowing if the female players are presented well, or if the females are second rate like the way they present the women wrestlers in the wrestling games where they are not even worth playing. If anyone has played the new tennis game for PS 3, I would appreciate your comments. if both the male and female players are done well this might be a buy. If anyone cares to comment, I would also like your opinion on WHY the female wrestlers are done so badly that they might as well be left out of the wrestlinggames. I am sure it is not just my imagination. My guess is that they want to prevent too much brutality directed to women. In tennis, I would like to think that is not the issue.

What about the pitching. Are you guys all happy with the pitching in this game? I am asking because in SHOW 10 the pitching disappointed me because the computer's batters would never swing at pitches outside the strike zone even with two strikes and even on a curse ball breaking an inch outside the zone. This concern has prevented me from shelling out the 60 bucks for the new game.

I could not play the SHOW 10 because the pitching was broken. If you failed to serve up fat pitches you walked every better and if you did you got knocked out of the box (I am talking about playing against the computer.)

This year, with SHOW 11, has this been fixed? Can you break a curve ball a few inches outside the strike zone and will anyone swing at it?

Even with two strikes, the computer batters confidently took pitches that were near strikes. Same this year?

Was it your experience that batters you pitched against (computer not friends) actually would swing at balls outside the strike zone?

Why the boycott of the new baseball game 2K11? Where are the reviewers hiding? If this combined baseball and shooting zoombies there would be 100 reviews by now. I have another comment. Last year I hated SHOW because the game forced you to serve up fat pitches to batters because the batter would never swing at a ball an inch out of the strike zone even with two strikes. Can anyone tell me if they fixed that this year? That gaem is supposed to be realistic, but in real life baseball few pitchers would last beyond the first inning if they had to throw strikes all the time. Having a curve ball finish over the plate is absurd, but in SHOW ten it was do that or walk every batter.

I just read a walk thro that says you should try some tricks when you get to the railway station like going into nightmare mode and trying to knock down people in the crowd. Does this make any sense? The author implied that getting to the lockers as a piece of cake. I have been stuck in one place shaking hte controller and pressing R1 and L1 only to see the man grasp his chest. I am afraid I was having a bigger anxiety attack than the character in the game just trying to go that hundred feet to the lockers. Does anyone think starting a new game will help??

My only other option appears to be starting a new game and hoping I can get past this place in the new game. I did not have any problem with the controls until this point in the game.
