I was going to guess Davis. I already know about him he's with the Dodgers now and heard a lot of him on the radio this past season.

Can.. Not.. Wait!!!

Kinda curious what Franchise launchpad is too. Sounds interesting.

I would have LOVED for John Smoltz to be the 2nd guy, he is great to listen too!

Man this was an awesome tease!!!

1. "Grass Tech" Finally the grass possibly could be getting a major upgrade?

I hope this includes the infield dirt as well

2. "Humanity AI" Possibly means CPU players will make much smarter life like gameplay decisions. And hopefully also means better CPU bullpen management.

3. "All New Catch & Throw Engine" Hopefully means less low and in the dirt throws over to first base where the first basemen has to reach and stretch so often even on simple throws. Also hopefully means there will be even more of a difference between players with great arms vs weak arms. And maybe improving the throwing urgency as well.

And these sound very interesting!

1. Cat and Mouse gameplay
2. Of course new ball physics
3. New Uniform Sets
4. "Fill in the Blank" Presentation Package, Hopefully MLB Network or at least something kind of like what 2K is doing for Basketball and used to do with baseball and football.
5. "Fill in the Blank" & "Fill in the Blank" Join The Booth, Possibly a 5 man booth?
6. Player Model Improvements, Could just mean being able to add and edit more things during player create instead of actual brand new player models?
7. Player Quirks
8. New Brands
9. New Big Rig, No idea what that could be?
10. Universal Profile Overhaul, Perhaps you can now save your profile to the cloud?

And I am sure there is a lot more new stuff then this

O yeah I am pumped!!!

First thought was a start today mode. Where it begins exactly where the real season is. But who knows.

Diamond Dynasty Seasons may be a game changer. I'm not big on DD right now, but that could make a big difference to me.

I don't think it will be a 5 man booth. My guess is that the two new announcers are replacing Eric Karros and Steve Lyons.

A 5 man booth would be interesting though.
