He has to wait for the PR department to give the okay before the fact sheet is released.

History seems to dictate that they wouldn't release a feature like this that is poorly implemented, but leaving the existing presentation as default has me wondering if they need a backup. I really like the RTTS improvement with the depth of being a catcher, and hopefully the training is sharp. As I spend the majority of my time in franchise I look forward to hearing about the improvements to that area of the game.

You know SCEA isn't going to half *** the RTP. I am candidly SHOCKED that they put this in this year as I know after 2k added it last year it popped up on a lot of people's radar for this game. I, for one, am ecstatic that SCEA went this route.

I didn't even have this as a wishlist need because i didn't even think they would consider it for the next few years. Shame on me!

Cannot wait to see it in action!

I wonder if SCEA is going to add Soriano's stupid "hop" when he goes to make a catch out in left field. As much as I hate it when he does that, it would add to the already insane amount of authenticity in the game. What do you all think?

I hope that soriano's hop when catching the ball is in also. Because I think I remember from last year Russel or someone from SCEA made a post about pitcher and batter rituals/routines and asking people to post different ones then know of.

I really really, REAALLLYYY hope that the implement balks into the new pickoff system! A risk/reward kind of thing. It only makes sense, or why else would you do anything else besides the deceptive move???

I believe a dev said each different pickoff type would have a positive and negative side to them. I imagine that the basic pickoff would be safe but not very effective, the quick would be effective but very likely to be thrown away, and the deceptive would be very effective but likely to result in a balk. At least that's what I hope the system works like.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully this is how its implemented.
