I agree! The no-commentary made it seem blah, like batting practice instead of an actually homerun derby. I also think that it would have been great if they would have put kids out in the outfield trying to catch the fly balls.

I did like the fact that not every pitch was right down the middle. Like the one that hit Howard in the foot, nice!!

As for the transitional lighting vids, I was also hoping that they would put some balls in play. You couldn't tell much from the player in the box, but maybe you would have seen some structures of the stadium creeping across.

Great vids though, you lucky *******!! Wondering if you were allowed to wondering around a franchise at all?

Was that the only camera view available in HR Derby? The camera view was along the ground? Strange

Thanks for all the vid post!

HR Derby: I wish the camera would show more than just the 'shadow' of the ball on the field. It's funny to watch a shadow of a ball, not knowing wehtere it will go out, and then see the HR went 442 feet! I think in MLB 06, (ps2) they had a varied/dynamic camera in the HR derby that would sow off the majesty of HRs.

Is the Broadcast Camera availble in HR Derby? Cheers! and thanks again!

game is looking good, hopefully correct schedules make it into this years version and we will not have to wait for a patch

Did anyone else catch Russell talking about how they retooled the hitting for the HOF and Legend difficulties? I'm pretty sure I heard him say that you would have to use the left stick to hit in those modes. I'm sure that won't be heavily debated here...lol.

I did not catch that, but that will be very interesting. You are supposed to use it from All-Star on up, but I usually do not 75% of the time, and receive very realistic hitting results.

I really wish they would at least mix in a "no doubter" every few HR's....that would add alot especially for the view point.
