Even if a new mechanic is introduced, SCEA will always keep the existing options intact. It tends to be a win-win for everyone.

I think you want any game to continue to push the envelope and constantly reinvent itself.

As good as the show has been, lets face it, its become stale over the last several yrs. Other than the graphical additions; the batter/pitching interface feels virtually the same. After thousands of plate appearances it feels stale from the sheer monotony of it.

2K baseball is a mess in its current state, but the stick-controlled pitching and hitting makes The Show's current set up feel dated.

BTW big ups on the slaughterhouse avatar, i'm a big fan of every one of those MCs, minus Royce.

No stick controls please. Too hokey and they never work right. We want realism and sim features.

Make a Wi version for all that gimmicky stuff. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I've been playing the show since PS2. The 2K pitching additions was a real nice breath of fresh air last year.

2K pitching is not what it feels like to throw a pitch. Way too complicated. SCEA will not even waste their time developing this idea.

Here's a somewhat recent photo of Target Field:



From this video, it seems pretty good. Wish we would have seen a bit more of the field (especially left field and the scoreboard).
