MLB '10: The Show - Broken Bats Gameplay

Now that is some delicious footage!!!

Glad the pads on the walls at Citi now reflect the proper dark green color. Seeing how the focus too was stadium authenticity and immersion, feelings are high for almost all of them being spot on.

Love seeing actual players standing at the dugout rails (0:27). Nice RTP. And they clapped for their pitcher's strike out at 1:13 mark. And look alive in there, all in real time, SWEET!!!!!!!

But if at all possible, I'm putting this on the wishlist for 2011 now... broadcast cam similar to that view on some replays last year (like real life).

Do you think that maybe if a ball is hit in the middle of the field we may see that angle behind the plate? I'm thinking that it would be hard to field balls down the line using a camera directly behind home plate...I remember them changing this for ASB because of this very reason...just curious on what you think

Yeah, we definitely will. I need to see a ball that's hit like straight to the left or right fielder, and see if they'll keep the center camera angle.

I mean don't get me wrong, I totally understand why they have it this way for gameplay purposes (being able to line up and see what you're fielding), but for authenticity's sake, that would definitely be cool to see something similar real life, even down the lines.

And just a very small nitpick, but I think it's a bit too low is all. Maybe if it's raised up only slightly in next year's version.

Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, right? That one 3D video and the look of Yankee Stadium was amazing!

Exactly. I was just about to say this.

The checked swings looked way nicer!!!

Grass textures looked sharper too.

im with you, its a huge step forward to me, I see the camera working to keep the ball in view at all times or at least the fielders, I think we may see a higher-more panned out angle when fly balls or line drives are hit to the outfield. If so that would be great, but like you said, can't know until we see it
