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.

I know you guys are going to love your new stadium in new york because there is nothing better for me than going to miller park after going to county stadium for many years.

I think the t-rex arms also make throwing animations look awkward... especially some of the pitching deliveries; they just don't look right...

Preview sounds awesome. Even if the only things that get added are day/night progression and weather then I'll be very happy. Is it March yet?

Like I said on many occasions, give me authentic pitching motions/deliveries of most or all of the big name pitchers and I'll be one happy camper. When I'm up at bat, I want to feel like I'm truly facing a real life counterpart on the hill.

I would also like the pitch physics to be adjusted. I thought the sinkers and two-seamers didn't move enough and the breaking balls really didn't have there true snap/spin to them. It would be nice when facing Tim Lincecum or Roy Halladay that they have a consistant "hammer". Now when facing someone like Manny Delcarmen (good curve but inconsistant) he'll throw some good one's but also throw some hangers up there as well. Sinkerballers like Webb, Lowe, Wang should really have that boring, late action on their sinker. I thought last year that those pitches were too flat and really didn't do justice to the nastiness of those pitches.

Add in a more responsive/user controlled defensive system while you're at it too and you have baseball perfection on a disc.

Kolbe & Chris...your team is second to none in the sports gaming industry. Thanks for always listening and I'm sure it'll be another HOMERUN this year.

I didn't read all of the comments on here so excuse me if it's been asked but are we really gonna be able to do voiced introductions of the batters? If so, how. Getting the walk up music from the ps3 I get but I'm clueless as to how this would work.
