This, just by looking at the pics in the preview the models looked different to me. I never had a problem with them to begin with but the shoulder/arm length issue that some people have by looking at those few pics looks pretty damn good. I know it was only a few shots but I got a feeling they made changes and Russel's comments kind of makes that conclusion a logical one.

By the way, awesome preview!!!

All that has been mentioned sounds great but I hope they made some of the manage mode improvements we have been asking for.

Also, will there be wind effects on the uniforms and flags? This is a big part of dynamic weather.

glad rex is gone but was hoping for a clean sweep.
Matt V is cool tho
interesting on Soup staying on board.

Love the team specific camera angles too.
hoping for overhauled UI franchise and main menu as well as overhauled tv presentation complete with stats.

There's nothing to get straightened out it works the way its supposed to. If you don't/can't pre-load your throws the player will go into a throw ready position (this is what Jon was talking about)and you will loose the smooth transition animations. This is all done for strategy and gameplay balance. However it does take some time to get used to.

One thing I'm interested to see is if the new player models (if they are there, and I have a feeling they are) fix the shortarming and weird release on pitchers. Most of them had their elbow too low for my liking...

Good read and it looks like 11 certainly has some good improvements.

Will be tough to get used to them but it sounds like they are for the better and more than just mashing buttons.

Hoping to get some franchise info soon. Wondering what else they could have added to make franchise mode even better.
