Am I the only crazy person that would like to see a first person hitting option? If you've ever stood in a batters box you know that even the custom camera can't really duplicate that POV.

Anyway this definitely looks like player lock from another perspective, which is what we expected. Guess they'll probably bring it up in the feature premiere as well.

PSVR2 isn't supported and this seems like it'd be a great way to introduce it...oh well.

That's the first thing that popped into my head. Would have been a cool little bonus for fans that have the hardware.

Hoping it’s more like all star baseball was and not just used for player lock. Seems that way though. Still cool!

I would like to see first person hitting, pitching, and fielding. Make it seem like you are actually on the field playing the game.

Having played a good bit of NFL 2k5 in first person mode lately, I’m down to see other sports try it. NHL had first person fights for a few years early 2010’s, and that’s the last time I can remember in a team sports game.

First person gameplay sounds fun, but it makes it so much harder to play on a controller. NFL2k5 probably had the best and most fun one from a controller perspective, unless it’s VR, it’s pretty hard to play. I do hope it’s expanded here because let’s have some fun, but I personally don’t think I’d do more than try it out and then leave it alone after that.

MLB 2K4 (ESPN Major League Baseball) did it. But it's hard to find footage of it.
