The new Yankee Stadium looks amazing.

[ehh]

Info looks good, I hope the new visuals got rid of the T-Rex arms on each player. The custom crowd chants has a ton of potential, though the article says you need to do it with a mic - I wonder if you can load MP3's on to your PS3 and do it that way as well.

Day/night progression is going to be a very big welcome too, that adds a lot to the game.

Actually, the dimensions are exactly the same as the old stadium and they kept the Facade (sp?) that goes around the stadium. Being a Yankees fan I am biased, but I think it looks great and can't wait to watch a few games there.

They kept the on field dimensions and the facade makes a triumphant return. The seating layout is different (deck arrangements), the scoreboards are different, the amenities..man, the amenities and the exterior is completely different- although a throwback to the old (not current) Yankee stadium. If you've ever been to the old stadium, even little things like having wider seats with cup holders and leg room make a huge difference. Huge overhaul.

me either. I think there are a list of other things much more important.

Also, I wish people would quit comparing The Show to MVP. '07 & '08 were light years ahead of MVP and '09 will probably be even better. If anyone can play MVP '05 and then play the Show '08 and even compare the two, well, I think you are nuts. I'll get off my soap box, but I don't think there is any comparison other than the fact they were both great for their time, but MVP does not hold up today. You can tell people that have not played the SCEA series because they keep talking about MVP. Glad to have you guys aboard, but make a trip to Blockbuster and rent '08, it will make you forget about mvp.
