It was one play in one game, let's not get all hasty.

I sat through an entire season of guys making stupid plays in the outfield from Shelly Duncan thinking he could rob a HR in Texas when it was literally 30 feet into the stands, to Ezequiel Carrera dropping one right behind him because his shades were on top of his head, to Austin Kearns letting balls bounce right in front of him instead of making supposed "routine" catches.

Okay, you've whetted my appetite. Or is it whet?....or is is both?!
What do you mean?

That is definitely not the norm. We saw a realistic amount of misplays, dives and miscues... and not necessarily error plays, but the ball dribbling away, or rolling up a fielders arm, or balls that "got up on" infielders forcing them to field it in their cradle. The new ball physics are just... legit! That's all I can say after seeing it. And the legit-ness shows in the way players interact with the ball.

Speaking of fielding, one of the coolest things I saw was... on a deep fly ball to center where Granderson ran back knowing it was going to be deep, with his right hand, reached back to locate/size up the wall and made the catch on the warning track. I think Pared was playing.

It was a thing of beauty! (the play, not Pared.)

Don't worry... Pared and Nemesis04 worked hard with the devs adjusting the outfielders since this way early build of a video.

All of the game play mechanics look amazing.

There was only one thing that was bugging me in that video. I have been to over 100 Angels games and watch every other game on TV and there is not that much blue in the audience. Usually you will mostly find Red and White.

I understand that there are supposed to be Rangers fans there too but i gotta say that crowd had like 60% blue 25% White and 15% Red. Realistically it would be 50% Red, 40% White and 10% blue.

I know the crowd isn't supposed to bother you but there was just so much blue that I initially thought they were playing at Rangers stadium when the camera was focused on Kinsler.

I also hope the crowd is getting tweaks still. The blonde chicks bother me a bit as they REALLY stick out. As well the colors can get a bit off at times as you said. It still looks so much better than most game crowds and these ones are in full view all the time.
