Nice. Thanks for the organized post Steve.

I hope we get a hardcore sheet this year as well!

Oh yeah, you know that is coming. Always huge when they announce the full list of features.

I wonder what other kinds of things have been changed with Home Run Derby. Maybe they'll incorporate a commentary track and progressive lighting to the mix! Maybe their new camera system also has a different flight pattern this time around. Last year it would readjust to the height of where the ball was going to land for a home run, so if you hit a 330 foot shot off the top of the foul pole, it would follow the ball much more appropriately than if you hit a 500 foot shot into McCovey Cove.

I will order today, but I want to order from Amazon.

I do not see any "pre-order MLB.TV" information on there... so I hope we can get confirmation if this is a Gamestop only thing or not. I hope not.

I prefer getting from Amazon over them if I could.

lot of hype for the challenge of the week.
i see that bombing big time.
for sony to not use franchise as a bullet point for the game store ads worries me a bit.
makes me think its just the usual minor upgrades.
it REALLy could use a refresh.

I'd like to see it say: all new franchise!

What do you mean by "refresh"? It is pretty damn deep, tuning needing to be done to logic, yes, but for "refresh" I am confused.
