Alright the cuffs are off, feel free to post impressions now but keep things civil and refrain from direct game comparisons, thanks.

Update: 360 version.

Just want to say this real quick.

I played a game at SF with the Rangers same as the demo. The jaggies are still there so the demo is probably wasn't that far from the retail.

With that being said, IMO the game is still very nicely done. I'm getting ready to fire up a game with the Yanks and Phills.

I will sim and entire season before than and post the results as best I can.

52,104 & 162 are the options for season length.
You can edit the cpu rosters, force trades, let the cpu trade and there's a slider for injury frequency in the front end of franchise mode.

Please do not PM me with were I got the game or any other crazy questions.

Finished product is very, very well done. I love the expressive reactions the put on the players and bullpens.

Hit a 3 run homer with Cano and Lannan (Clev) was going nuts on the mound.

I adjusted my tv settings and the game really, really looks good. Player faces are great. Some are still off, but for the most part they're good for me.

Loving the game right now.

There's a slider for arm strength for fielders and outfields. I like that.

If you're patient you will draw walks.

The commentary is so good it's scary. I feel like I'm real game.

I forgot to mention. The homer I hit with Cano, you'll feel it when you hit it. I love that feeling.

Just chased Lanna off after only 2.2. Gave up 6 hits 5 runs and 3 walks. Great feeling.

Night games don't start with black skies. Not sure if that was in last years game.

I'm still seeing a little hitch/lag on pop ups. Same from the demo it looks like. Maybe that's included in the day 1 patch.

Dodger stadium is stunning at night.

Player models look great. Fielder is huge, but not as big as CC.

The close play toggle on/off doesn't seem to be working. I turned close play cam off and it still slows down when steal attempts happen.

They finally put in a cage for batting practice. Like you'd see before the games. Finally!

I can't find a way to hit against someone other than the best pitcher on that team though. Maybe I missed something.
