I am pretty sure broadcast will be in

I won't go into all the technical reasons for it, but it is something we are looking forward to correcting in the future. Chris

OH SNAP! We have another designer on the site? DAYUM

after watching the video a handful of times, I just don't understand all the concern about fielding using the broadcast view..am I missing something? It looks pretty straight forward from that video.

Chris let me just say this you rock! Out of every game I have ever seen your animation are so life like it scary! You and your team are the man! Also, it was like this with the PS2 too. Just incredible!

Sexy? A video game? Oh, OK, there is a new robot girl too.....Oh never mind I kidd. I agree this game is looking really sexy!

Dave, it is. I think once guys see it on a bigger screen and can take in all the goodness of the field, and the stadium, they'll not complain (tongue-in-cheek). The balls off the walls have to actually be played like, well, er balls off the wall. That may take a little bit of practice. PLUS you can always change the fielding view to LOW/MED/HIGH if you don't like it, just like last year, as BROADCAST view is just another fielding view.

Chris and Kolbe were pretty much the first devs to post on The Show forums. They have passed the torch to Russell; only making cameo appearances here and there.

I wish Chris would post more often, as he is the lead animator. The batting stances and pitching motions have pretty much been my only gripe with the game the last few years. Hopefully, the fact that he hasn't been posting as much is a sign that he's hard at work with the new animations.

I loved what they did with the batting stances last year, it was a huge improvement. Hopefully, the pitching motions get just as much love this year. So far, he only one I've seen is Verlander and it's really good.

for me its depth perception on balls that are laced as hard liners, worm burners, are just hard hit grounders and trying to get the angles down in order to cutoff the ball's path.

I've played other baseball games that use a broadcast cam to field and it was difficult for me to get these things down.
