I recommend waiting until you get the game yourself until making assumptions if the game is different or not. You can't judge The Show by just watching gameplay videos on the internet, you have to play it yourself to get the full, great experience.

There you have it folks.

Maybe you are right, but with more than a few videos already out, the sample size is enough for at least one video to show something different.

I like the new camera angles and some of the new presentation. Although some of the ribbons are not the new ones, they've put a lot of work in the visual aspect of the game.

Can I just say that, while I love the idea of the post-game player of the game interview, that microphone looks terrible?! Kind of shocking compared to the rest of the presentation/graphics. Looks like an amazing game, can't wait to play it, but I just had to say that.

whew. done.

Compare to this 2B by Butler: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play****p?c...65671&c_id=mlb Replace ** with ". j s "

I always feel like the OF's get to these balls to quickly or the runners are slower? Feels like there are a lot more close plays on 2B's in the Show than in real life. Butler is about 1 sec slower in the show in this example.

It's probably hard to program the lolly-gagging most OF's do when a ball goes into the corner, but its just something that always catches my eye when playing.

Its been a problem for a while at least for me. I turn down fielder speed and reaction and turn up baserunner speed a bit, but it doesn't do a whole lot to alleviate it for me.

Outfielders have always gotten to balls much more quickly in the show than in real life. I thought it was mentioned in the CD threads that they worked on this. That more varying routes would be taken or something. I think maybe having the outfielders pick up balls a bit more slowly off the wall and definitely have them not get to ground balls down the line as fast might help. In MLB games you see a lot of groundball down the line doubles, but its hard to do in the game.

There are a lot of examples that just don't seem possible in the game. Maybe its the way balls bounce off the grass, they seem to die faster than in real life.

I'm sure there are more examples of balls getting cutoff like in The Show, but I would love to see balls hit down the line, especially ground balls and line drives that land on the infield and go past the 3rd baseman result in more doubles as in real life.

I'm sorry, but you're not very observant then.
