MLB: The Show

Looks like some nice improvements to 11 but it still looks like they have many generic batting stances.

Here was a complaint about MLB 10: The Show that I wrote last year

Great Game! Not a lot of improvement from 09. A little visual/gameplay

Dear the Show Visual designers Team,

If you guys are reading this, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to hear my thoughts/ complaints. The game is great. Great gamplay. VERY realistic hitting/fielding. I really enjoy being able to play my own music saved on the PS3. Im a huge Cincinnati Reds fan. Yes, you probly dont care, but for you guys to make The Show are more realistic game, you should definitely improve the batting stances.

For example, Brandon Phillips second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds has been playing in the league for about 8 years, and has been one of the Reds best players for about 3 years. Yet, dissapointingly, his batting stance is inaccurately portrayed. Not even close. Every time I play with the Reds, I manually change Brandons stance with either David Ortiz or Scott Rolen, just because seeing that "Generic 2" ?? batting stance just annoys me.

I understand it is impossible to get everyone exactly right, and you must have some/many generic batting stances, but it greatly annoys me when Ive been playing the Show for years and Brandon Phillips batting stance is generic year, after year, after year. Next year, OR maybe a Batting stance patch this year, I would really like to see more accurate and updated batting stances. But improving these problems is a way for MLB "The SHOW" to really become the most realistic baseball game, and to ultimately represent its name.

That was my main gripe from MLB 10, but looks like (maybe) that havent even attempted to fix it?

I think it is a little unfair to judge at this point. You either need directly captured material of the final build or the disk in your console to really judge. I also wouldn't get bent out about any one player, with the hundreds of players they have to model. There is no way to do specific mo-cap or whatever for every single one.
